Batman doesn't need to prevail or even stalemate against Superman to prove his worth and I hope Snyder and Goyer are smart enough to realize this. If there is an initial physical confrontation, Superman should come out the clear victor but they should also refrain from alienating Batman fan(boys)s. The fight should be simple:
- The two meet, and words are exchanged. Batman initiates the fight (why would Superman initiate a fight against a human). He throws everything he has at Superman who just brushes it off. Superman super speeds to Batman, pins him against a wall, and ask him what his problem is. He tells him that he thinks Superman is dangerous and needs to be stopped. Explanations are said, and the two end their fight as allies. Nobody is made out to look like a chump.
Then, during the final battle, Batman really proves his worth when he saves Superman in some way, shape, or form due to his awesome tactical skills and by being Batman. In no way are any of these two characters intregrity sacrificed to build up the other. Superman stands tall as the physical superior, and Batman stands tall as the ever-present ace of the Justice League.
Also, to everybody bringing up kryptonite and weaknesses, you're wrong. For one, i'm 99% sure that kryptoninte is being left out of this movieverse. Snyder has already voiced his aversion to the plot device rock, and they kind of already replaced it with Supermans atmosphere weakness. Secondly, about the atmosphere, Batman would have no way of knowing that Superman is weak to it. The only people who knew were the Kryptonians, who are all gone, and Lois Lane, who I doubt would reveal a secret like that. So no, Batman will not be exploiting any weaknesses in the movie.
