Yeah, but Batman would never do that. He would never go one-on-one against Superman with no plan. He'd trap him in Kryptonite, or take Lois Lane hostage or something.
Because his power can't be measured by how hard he can punch.
Oh, oh, they can make his move a cell-phone, and if he's fast enough he can give the other character the phone, and they find out it's someone they love, and he's kidnapped them beforehand, and they have to negotiate their release, and then he calls Albert and airdrops their weakness. And if he's not fast enough they kill him before the phone is answered, but they find it on the ground, and hear the last pained cry of their loved one dying on the other end, so it's bittersweet, because you sort of won, but you lost everything to do it.
It'd be a really deep and philosophical game and you'd have the players think about why they fight in the first place and the pointlessness of their powers when they can't save the ones they love, and tournaments would be decided 40% by game performace, 40% by an essay on the morality of superhero violence, and 20% on a poem written in the style of the character they played, lamenting their loss of humanity.
