**Superman** is generally portrayed as much stronger than **Batman** in the DC Comics universe.

### **Why Superman is Stronger:**
- **Superhuman Powers:** Superman is an alien (Kryptonian) with abilities like super strength, flight, invulnerability, heat vision, and more. He can lift incredible amounts of weight (even planets in some stories).
- **Feats:** Superman’s strength is nearly limitless in many comics and films. He’s wrestled cosmic beings, withstood nuclear blasts, and moved celestial objects.
- **Physical Comparison:** By pure physical power, Batman is a peak human—an elite athlete, but only human.

### **Batman’s Advantages:**
- **Intellect & Preparation:** Batman’s edge is his intelligence, detective skills, and preparation. He’s beaten Superman in some stories (like “The Dark Knight Returns”) by using strategy, powered armor, and kryptonite.
- **Resourcefulness:** With time to prepare, Batman can exploit Superman’s weaknesses (especially kryptonite or red sun radiation).

### **In Short:**
- **Physical power?** Superman wins by a massive margin.
- **Strategy and planning?** Batman can compete or even win under specific circumstances.

**Popular saying:**  
*"Batman with prep time can beat anyone—even Superman."*  
But raw strength absolutely goes to Superman.
