Re: Man of Steel 2 (Superman/Batman--Official title to be confirmed)
Actually, the point was made more than once that Wonder Woman would be the most difficult member of the JLA to take down, for the simple reason that she doesn't have a "kryptonite", meaning an obvious way of defeating her.
Superman has kryptonite, Green Lantern has yellow and needs to concentrate to focus his will, Martian Manhunter has fire, Aquaman (some versions of him) needs to periodically be in contact with water, and Flash (Wally West at least, who wasn't a scientist like Barry) can be cheated, because he's very impulsive.
But Wonder Woman is the BEST hand-to-hand warrior of the DCU, and even without the superpowers she'd be on par with guys like Deathstroke and Lady Shiva, if not even better than them. Add a super strength of the levels of Superman and Shazam, and there's nothing you can do against her, because she doesn't have a specific weakness.
The best Batman could come up with in "Tower of Babel", was to keep her fighting indefinitely, until she collapsed. Didn't really accomplished it (she didn't collapse, I think), but she was kept busy, fighting all the time. She just couldn't be taken down.
In the New 52 Universe, Batman already confessed to Superman that he has protocols for taking them down if and when necessary, and that those plans are stored in boxes for every single each of them.
Wonder Woman's box is empty, because Batman's only plan to defeat her, is Superman. But now Superman and Wonder Woman are dating, so that makes her untouchable.
So beating the snot out of people is Batman's sole purpose and only usefulness? For real? This is an insult to this many-layered character. Batman and Superman each bring different strengths to the table. Why not have Batman bring his strengths and use them, instead of angsting about the fact that he cannot physically take down a demigod?
Because he can't, and having him do so onscreen will break suspension of disbelief badly.
TBH I am not even sure Bats could take Wonder Woman down if it came to fisticuffs. He should use his much-vaunted brain, and leave the beatdowns to those who are best made to carry 'em out. That's when you call in Supes.
