The link in the article appears to be malformed. The correct link is:

Fixed, thanks for catching that. Apparently I inadvertently doubled one of my html "href" tags. I need to get in the habit of testing all my links in future news stories.

I see they're going the "absurd amounts of Kryptonite" route of getting around the whole "Superman is superhuman, and Batman is emphatically not" thing.

 

I mean, that still doesn't change the fact that Superman could just pick up a sizeable rock and drop it on Batman from a safe distance. Or kill Batman with laser vision from a safe distance. Or really use any of his multitude of powers Batman doesn't have and kill Batman from a distance, because in the end, Superman is superhuman, Batman isn't, stop trying to make convoluted explanations for why Batman could totally hold his own, dweebs.

The key issue that tends to help even the odds in most Batman vs. Superman stories I've seen is that Superman doesn't WANT to use his powers to hurt Batman. Whereas Batman is cynical and sees Superman as a threat, Superman is idealistic and sees Batman as a good but misguided person who is just fighting for what he thinks is right.

 

In other words, Superman could defeat Batman but ordinarily wouldn't, whereas Batman would defeat Superman but ordinarily couldn't. Thus, things usually end up with a stalemate until Batman and Superman get over their differences and join forces.

I like Batman's new vehicles in these sets. They both look really cool. I don't know how useful they will be against Superman though, but we'll see about that in the movie. :P

 

The minifigs also look really good. I like the darker colors on Superman and Wonder Woman. Batman also looks cool wearing his suit of armor. Again, we'll see how it helps him against Superman when the film comes out.

Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.
