This could go either way.  You might think Supes has it sewn up on account of the flying and the speed, but my money’s on Bats.  He would wear kryptonite drawers so Supes couldn’t really guard him.  He would’ve sent two hookers and an 8-ball to Supe’s hotel room the night before.  Bats does not give a fuck.  He will do whatever it takes to win. 
Also, Batman is a scientist.

 Beneath the banality of his image [the ultrawinner, cold as math] is an actual person who happens to love pussy and doesn’t mind sharing it with Derek [Jeter].

“The dismal performance of these pundits inspired Tetlock to turn his small case study into an epic experimental project. He picked 284 people who made their living ‘commenting or offering advice on political and economic trends’ and began asking them to make predictions about future events. He had a long list of pertinent questions. Would George Bush be reelected? Would there be a peaceful end to apartheid in South Africa? Would Quebec secede from Canada? Would the dot-com bubble burst? In each case the pundits were asked to rate the probability of several possible outcomes. Tetlock then interrogated the pundits about their thought process so he could better understand how they’d made up their minds. By the end of the study, Tetlock had quantified 82,361 different predictions.

“After Tetlock tallied the data, the predictive failures of the pundits became obvious. Although they were paid for their keen insights into world affairs, they tended to perform WORSE than random chance. Most of Tetlock’s questions had three possible answers; on average, the pundits had selected the right answer less than 33 percent of the time. In other words, a dart-throwing chimp would have beaten the vast majority of professionals. Tetlock also found that the most famous pundits in his study tended to be the least accurate, consistently churning out overblown and overconfident forecasts. Eminence was a handicap.

 This is fascinating and explains Thomas Friedman.

 All of us that voted and prayed for you and cried the night of your victory have endured an Orwellian hell of eight years of crimes committed in our name… We watched as hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians were slaughtered and tens of thousands of our brave young men and women were killed, maimed, or endured mental anguish — the full terror of which we scarcely know. When we elected you we didn’t expect miracles. We didn’t even expect much change. But we expected some. We thought you would stop the madness. Stop the killing. Stop the insane idea that men with guns can reorganize a nation that doesn’t even function as a nation and never, ever has.
