Master Combatant....."has also learned more advanced martial arts techniques from Batman".
You can read more accurately on the wiki about superman.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powers_and_abilities_of_Superman
Batmans powers seem to be the ability to learn at super human speed, he is how old? Say less than 50 and you claim he knows 127 fighting styles? Then there is all the other shit he has learned as well.
Even if Batman shot a bullet made of the strongest kryptonite at superman, while he was distracted by some horrible event ... superman would still dodge the bullet!
He could hear the firing mechanism go off, feel himself weakening as the bullet drew closer and be out of there.
All I ever read from Batman supporters are references to canon, how about instead just looking at there abilities and skill set? Batman is just a man, 5 of supermans abilities are SUPERhuman ... if superman wanted to he could just play the rabbit as batman played the dog, just run away till batman got too tired.
Batman vs superman would like batman trying to knock down a house with a foam hammer ... the only reason it isn't, is 'cos "superman sucks and batman is teh best!".
The fight could be batman vs every other person in comic book history at the same time and batman would still win ... batmans greatest power is the fans, who would ***** and moan if he ever lost.
First off, sorry about the spelling mistakes and i apologize for any more i make, feeling a bit under the weather here so my spelling tends to take a nose dive when that happens.
Second, no i didn't write a small story about how Batman would try to beat superman(granted there are a few ways he could attempt to do it a few more...complicated then others) what i wrote was a counterpoint response to angry joe's video(...at 3 in the morning, really need to stop doing that)
no batman's powers isn't the ability to learn at superhuman speed
Abilities
Indomitable Will: He has no known superhuman powers, but he does have an extreme, almost superhuman "force of will".
Intimidation: It is widely known that Batman has the ability to instill fear in others, even the people that know him best are intimidated by him. Even those who aren't afraid of the likes of Superman fear Batman.
Expert Inquisitor: Batman is adept in the use of interrogation techniques, employing anything from law enforcement methods to outright torture.
Peak Human Conditioning: Through intense training, specialized diet, and biofeedback treatments, The Batman represented the pinnacle of human physical prowess. His physical attributes exceeded that of any Olympic level athlete that has ever competed. His strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, and coordination are at the peak of human potential. Batman began his physical and mental conditioning when he was 11 and then intense physical training and weight lifting at age 12. He had mastered full body control by the time he was 18. Wayne abstains entirely from drinking alcohol, though he presented Bruce Wayne, his alter ego, as a borderline alcoholic (he created this illusion by drinking ginger ale and pretending it was champagne). Batman's refusal to drink was directly linked to keeping his body in its absolute best. Bruce Wayne, since the age of 15, has created a strict diet to enable his body to develop and operate at its most proficient, along with biofeedback treatments (using portable/non portable machines to stimulate muscles to contraction). Batman has performed amazing physical feats due to his superior physique. He engaged in an intensive regular regimen of rigorous exercise (including aerobics, weight lifting, gymnastics, and simulated combat) to keep himself in peak condition, and has often defeated opponents whose size, strength, or other powers greatly exceeded his own. He has spent his entire life in pursuit of physical perfection and has attained it through constant intensive training and determination.
Peak Human Strength: He can break steel chains and cuffs, support a ceiling that weighed over 1000lbs, bent steel metal bars with his hands. Batman even punched a SWAT officer through a brick wall. He utilizes his strength/power so effectively, that a near-meta such as Deathstroke comments that Batman "hits harder than most beings with superhuman strength." During his exercise regimes, Batman regularly bench-presses at least 1000Ibs.
Peak Human Reflexes: Batman's reflexes are practically superhuman.
Peak Human Speed: He can run at speeds comparable to the finest competing athletes.
Peak Human Endurance: His endurance was comparable to that of the finest Olympic Decathlon participant. His lung capacity is so great that he can hold his breath underwater for 3 minutes and 15 seconds.
Peak Human Agility: His agility is greater than that of a Chinese acrobat and an Olympic gold medalist gymnast. His main phase of movement is Parkour which he learned in France and uses it to scale the cities rooftops in an acrobatic manner. He is capable of completing a triple somersault.
Expert Acrobat: Proficient in gymnastics and acrobatics, to the peak of human ability.
Master Martial Artist: Batman is one of the finest human combatants Earth has ever known. He trained in the US for various martial arts for 10 years.

His primary form of combat is an idiosyncratic admixture of Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Karate, Boxing, Jujitsu, and Ninjitsu.
Weapon Master: Through his martial arts training, he has become an expert on virtually all types of weaponry. He is an exceptional swordsman as evident in his fight with Ra's al Ghul, his proficiency in Jui Jitsu can proclaim his swordsmanship skill. Proficient with most melee weapons due to his mastery of Okinawan Kobudo. He was trained and became proficient in all arms. He soon learned expanded melee weapon techniques and he has learned expanded weapon/device sciences. He still practices during his combat sessions to keep his skills intact, though he prefers unarmed combat.
Master of Stealth: His Ninjutsu training has made him a master at stealth capable of breaching high security facilities with ease and without being detected.
Expert Marksman: Due in part to his training in Ninjitsu, Batman almost never misses his targets, 9/10 times he's successful.
Genius Intellect: (Batman's IQ is possibly well over 200) Batman is a brilliant, virtually peerless, detective, strategist, scientist, tactician, and commander; he is widely regarded as one of the keenest analytical minds on the planet. Given his lack of superpowers, he often uses cunning and planning to outwit his foes, rather than simply "out-fighting" them.
Polymath: He has studied Biology, Technology, Mathematics, Physics, Mythology, Geography, & History. Gained degrees in Criminal Science, Forensics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Engineering by the time he was 21. He has mastered Diverse Environmental Training, Security Systems, and illusion/sleight of hand by the time he was 23. He gained even more degrees in Biology, Physics, Advanced Chemistry, and Technology by the time he was 25. He has learned Forensic, Medical Sciences, Expanded Computer and Engineering Sciences, and Expanded Device Pool use of personal powered armor and system, database creation on underworld crime bosses, rogue's gallery foes and other supers; improved material sciences for body armor and micro-machinery by the time he was 26. Has also learned Advanced New Development in Forensic and Medical Sciences.
Master Detective: He is widely considered as the World's Greatest Detective, capable of observation, forensic investigation, and inductive and deductive reasoning of the highest caliber. Human intuition is an unlearnable trait and one of Batman's most effective tools. Given any mystery, he can arrive at any conclusions with a fraction of the data.
Multi-Lingual: He is able to speak Spanish, French, Latin, German, Japanese, English, Russian, Cantonese, Mandarin, and possibly more.
Master Strategist: He commonly utilizes cunning tactics to outwit his foes. He is an excellent leader and at times commands the Justice League and the Outsiders.

Expert Tracker: Trained in hunting techniques by African Bushmen (the Ghost Tribes of the Ten-eyed Brotherhood, among others).
Master of Disguise: Has mastered the art of disguise by the time he was 23. Has further learned Expanded Disguise techniques by the time he was 26. Batman has many aliases he uses to infiltrate the underworld or just to go undercover in public situations. His current aliases are: Matches Malone, Thomas Quigley, Ragman, Detective Hawke, Sir Hemingford Grey,Lester Krutz, Frank Dixon, Gordon Selkirk, and Mr. Fledermaus.
Expert Mechanic and Driver: Batman is proficient at combat driving. He has also pioneered improved vehicle designs. In addition, he has been trained and is proficient in basic vehicular operations.
Strength Level
Peak Human Strength: Batman engages in an intensive exercise regimen, and because of this his strength, like all other physical attributes are at the peak of human perfection. He can press/lift close to 1000 lbs, and has demonstrated enough strength in some cases to rip steel bars from their moorings, and snap high-strength handcuffs with ease.
add to that his tech as well

your assuming that batman would limit himself to one plan of attack or only doing one thing, he wouldn't. he would hit supes with everything at the same time multiple angles of attack,take the dark knight returns even if you discount that it still shows his thought process on what he would and again you assume that Bruce would let Clark play the rabbit as he plays the dog he wouldn't if anything it would be the opposite whit batman as the rabbit and superman as the dog
your right superman has the edge in just about all physical attributes your right hes SUPERman,and your right Batman is just a man,but that's what i like about him, that's why i find him so inspiring that as i said before, a MAN can stand shoulder to shoulder with gods as equals. to me at least he represents what we can be if we work hard enough.is he invincible is he perfect in every way? hell no!! he gets his ass handed to him a lot and get bruised broken and beaten a lot, but that another thing i like about him, once again hes human he stumbles, he falls but he gets right back up to do it all again(one of the good things that batman begins got right in attitude was the "why do we fall?" bit in the beginning)
ill give you that in a straight up brawl good odds are that superman would win,i'm not so rabid a fanboy as to deny that,but that's not how batman fights against foes like superman, he runs them through the gauntlet,he wears them down waiting for the right time to strike.
