Everlasting Battle Batman vs. Superman. Could You Guess Who is Winning? When the movie “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” was announced, being the casual superhero fan, I had just one question in mind: What the hell is going on here? How could Batman, an ordinary superhero who possesses no superhuman abilities, possibly battle Superman, a superhero whose powers include superhuman strength, vision, speed, and flight?
