Could Batman beat Superman?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Could Batman beat Superman?". Your opponent's style: Yoda

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

Superman wins, and it's not even close. Batman's entire strategy relies on prep time and gadgets, but Superman operates in a different physical reality. He's faster than thought, stronger than anything Batman can build, and his heat vision obliterates any tech before it deploys. Batman's best "victories" in comics are fan fiction where writers artificially handicap Superman or give Batman contrived advantages. Strip away the plot armor, and you have a man in armor versus a literal god. Batman's intellect means nothing when the fight is over in nanoseconds. The real question isn't whether Batman can win, it's why anyone pretends this is competitive.
