Zack Snyder explains how Batman can hang with Superman in a fight for BVS

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Heading into BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE and knowing that the two titular icons are going to have at least one showdown of a physical nature in the movie, fans everywhere have been curious about the logistics of their battle.

How can Batman possibly hang in a fight with Superman?

Wouldn't one super-punch destroy Bruce Wayne and whatever armor he might be wearing?

Is Kryptonite involved?

Lucky for you, Zack Snyder is offering up a hint or two as to how the Dark Knight might manage to hold his own against the Man of Steel, throwing more fuel on the speculative fire as to how these two characters will end up taking shape in this next chapter of DC's Cinematic Universe. So what's the secret? What sort of tactics is the Caped Crusader employing in order to stay in the fight?

The advantage that Batman has is the goodness of Superman; the compliance to fair play that Superman has… Batman knows how to exploit Superman.

So what you're telling us all is that Batman is a bit of a cheater…?

Hmmm… Well, who am I to judge? Whatever notches a W on the scoreboard, I guess, right?

Hey, there's nothing wrong with taking advantage of one's weaknesses in order to come out victorious. That's the name of the game when it comes to competition, even more so when it's a matter of life or death. Besides, isn't an unfair fight between these two much more interesting to check out than one completely on the level? I believe so.
