Lorisa, some of the things you named for Batman were pointless and shouldn't have been included. Anyway, for Superman there's Kryptonite, red sun radiation, magic, mind control, people with equal/superior strength as well as actual fighting skills, asphyxiation (unless it's a universe where kryptonians inexplicably don't need to breathe) and a bunch other methods of exploiting his flaws. Given all his powers, he STILL can't seem to beat Lex Luthor. On the other hand, there's Batman, who through intense effort and training, is quite resilient and knows how to get around that pesky being human issue. He regularily fights supervillains and just about every type of insanity out there. If Batman had superpowers, all the other heroes would become redundant. Sure Superman has superpowers but that doesn't mean he's invincible and that there's no way to beat him, especially in the comic book universe of all places. Why don't you compare their non physical traits, see who wins THOSE comparisons? Hint: it's Batman.
