Classic "vs" comic plot.

Hero A meets Hero B. They disagree. The fight. Witty banter. Villian C shows up. Kicks both their asses. Hero A and Hero B put aside differences, defeat Villian C and gain a mutual understanding of each other. Form Partnership D.

I would be shocked, shocked, if it is indeed made (which is another big "if". Routh has gone on record saying that he does not want a movie in which Batman/Superman are adversaries) that they are actually fighting. It will more likely be a Batman/Superman than a Batman vs Superman.

it's a well known fact that Batman would kick his boy-scout ass

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Superman Returns mentioned Gotham in a report on where Supeman had been sighted. Perry White also tells Jimmy to get those pictures from that "clown massacre". There is only one killer clown that I can think of in the DC Universe.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Concerning "Batman vs. Superman"... eh, I'll believe when I see it. I wonder if Christian Bale would even go for that.

In Batman Forever, after Bruce takes Dick in (giggle) and he's about to leave he says "the circus must be halfway to Metropolis by now".

How ya doing, buddy?

So no, I wouldn't watch such a movie; i'm not too keen on the current superman in case anyone hadn't noticed :P.

Well,it's not like Superman has been clean-shaven for 68 years or anything.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I mean, the way I look at it, Superman can't be hurt by anything that's not kryptonite. Batman, on the other hand, is just a man with gadgets.

...come on.

Batman has owned Supes on many occasions. Yeah, he's a man with gadgets, but he's willing to take it one step further that Supes ever would. Read The Dark Knight Returns or Batman: Hush and watch the worlds greatest detective beat the snot out of supes.

Superman has also given Batman kryptonite incase he ever went rogue. Batman has synthesized more of it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'd say that's a smackdown.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yes. But Batman had contingency plans in place to prevent anything like that from ever happening.

Also, no one can sneak up on Batman. If he can sneak up on Clark, Clark can't sneak up on him.

FELIPE NO
