Now, before I continue, I have to make something clear: Batman could technically hold his own against the Man of Steel if he were equipped with kryptonite (a whole lot of it), but that is a special-case scenario that falls into the category of giving Wayne time to plan things out, and that may also not end up being that effective, so let's leave it out for now. The 2014 animated feature showed the first meeting between the two, and in that encounter, the Last Son of Krypton completely wiped the floor with the Caped Crusader (and Hal Jordan Green Lantern, for good measure). The way I've always seen it, the Man of Steel fighting the Dark Knight is the equivalent of an adult racing a child: The adult naturally slows down to give the kid a fighting chance in the race.
