It was somewhere in the story arc below (so that would be Batman/Superman 8-13):

She is rescued from Darkseid and taken home. The villain follows; seemingly killing Kara. An enraged Superman throws Darkseid into the reality spanning Source Wall, entrapping him. However, Kara is back in Themyscira and is introduced to the world as Supergirl.

Superman is supposed to be such a great friend, yet he keeps coming up with ways to beat Superman. Superman asks him to knock it off, Batman says ok I will, and then Batman just starts up new anti-Superman experiments in lead lining. All Batman does is prepare weapons exploiting weaknesses for every hero and villain.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you

Oh, and Thor for the vote. Raw abilities and vulnerabilities (magic) aside, Thor is a much better trained and more accomplished combatant than Supes.

Wizard magazine said it back in like, 1999, so it must be true.

Apparently Wonderwoman's weakness is bukkake.

Superman needs to raid this week to up his MR.

people still read comic books? why not just wait for the movie?

Their powers fluctuate so much it's kind of hard to tell, one day you have Thor repelling Galactus with his God Blast or whatever it's called, the next you have a Marvel writer telling you Thor is not bulletproof

Same with Superman, one issue he drags like 100 planets on his back with a giant chain (don't ask me where the fuck he got the chain to carry planets), the next he gets kicked to the curb by Jimmy Olson

I would say Superman wins, not sure, he should win if it's vs. regular Thor, not King Thor with Odin's power.

Magic > Superman.

As I stipulated in my original post, its regular Thor versus regular Superman.

Its more that the even regular Superman doesnt show consistent reactions to magic. Sometimes it fucks him up alot. Sometimes he can shrug off the magic of god beings. Thors strengths match up with supermans weaknesses. And they are in the same weight class. So ignoring plot powered resistances he loses.

I love that in the end the most human of heroes (Batman) ends up being the most dangerous heh.

Silly comics.

That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.
