Superman's line that he "rope a doped" Jax-Ur is actually brilliant. "Rope a dope" was one of famed boxer Muhammad Ali's signature strategies. Ali would lean against the rope, arms up in defense, pretending he was overwhelmed, and let his opponent pummel him. His opponent would assume this was their chance to end the match, and absolutely lay into Ali. However as Ali was leaning back against the ropes, the ropes were absorbing much of the punches' force. The opponent would tire, and then Ali would jump out on the attack. Why does this matter so much? DC once put out the comic _"Superman Vs Muhammad Ali",_ where Superman was first trained in boxing by Ali himself, and then actually boxed against him. (without powers, of course) So Superman is not simply *familiar* with Ali's moves and strategies, he literally learned them directly from the source!

[@elle.legance]

There's already an old world's finest comic like this

[@teleportedbreadfor3days]

@ How old are we talking?

[@photoo848]

There's at least one scene where they do this. Bats divines it's because Supes thinks it's good practice. Gotham is full of lead-filled painted hampering Supers vision, while Metropolis is bright and low on shadows for Bats to lurk in. I don't remember if the issue continues from that scene or moves on to a different plot but it was released somewhere between 2009 and 2012 (if you want to search the archives I would suggest starting somewhere between issues 15 and 40)

[@annana6098]

There was an animated series episode where Batman was missing and Superman disguises himself as Batman for a night to help Tim Drake deal with things. Bane was not prepared.

[@TidePodsRFood]

I'm guessing this story is set early in their friendship, but I feel like writers often forget that fighters like Batman & Black Canary trained Superman in hand to hand under red solar energy. Nothing fancy, just a crash course in "Don't Die Immediately 101"

[@Thagrynor]

​​@shadowki5687 Yeah, it is a little confusing because of his pronunciation throughout the video. He says Jor El and would likely say Kal El, putting the brief pause/space between the syllables, but runs Jax Ur's name together as Jaxxer. I was just listening to the video and had to actually look at it a little bit in because I wasn't sure who he was talking about lol. Still a good video though. Love recaps like this because I love the stories and characters but can't justify the cost of the books anymore.

[@ciskid23]

That was an odd ending considering Superman’s fight training starts next week

[@rodrigofigueiroa9184]

I like Batman and Superman friendly stories, they are the top heroes of their world, but must be VERY hard to write good stories where Superman cannot win alone. The same to Justice League. That's why the League must always be fighting absolutely cosmic threats that demands you to be in more than one place at time because in any other way, Superman don't need them. In almost all Batman-Superman stories they forget the facts that: Superman can think fast than any human, He can memorize the whole genome (all nucleotide order) of a being. He can reconstruct a high complex machine just seeing it once. And his Fortress has technology from MANY GALAXIES, so any problem he can take a god ex-machina science from there. It is impossible don't see that he many times just let Batman do his thing.

Superman is one of the most intelligent characters in the DC universe, but the writers don't know how to explore this and turn the character into a body without a brain and with only muscles.

Looking at Batman's suit, it looks like it's earlier on in their lives. They're younger so ofc they haven't gotten the experience to be smarter yet

How do you have Superman as he is supposed to be without him solving all the problems for everybody? It's my biggest complaint with the character, you literally cannot be consistent with him, especially in the larger DC or most stories just don't happen.

This is the reason why Superman versus Batman was such a Stupid movie!! People actually think the Batman would be such a Petty Ass Loser with such a Fragile Ego. That he would Attack Superman just because he didn't get to Fight the Aliens Who Are Kryptonian's like Superman.🤣🤮 It would Never happen because Batman is just too Damn Smart and if anything, he would've been planning to Attack the Kryptonian's if it ever came back to help Superman. For how dangerous the Batman is supposed to be there is no way that what happened.

[@Fanimati0n]

Hack Snyder has absolutely no idea how to write heroes let alone Batman or Superman

[@01timegone]

@@Fanimati0n You're forgetting something Superman versus Batman was in the comics it also came out as an animated movie. But without Wonder Woman or Doomsday before Snyder made his movie. They added Wonder Woman into the movie, so that Batman would have someone to give him back up. when Superman was down from Doomsday's Attack otherwise Doomsday would've simply killed him which would've really screwed up the movie.🤣 I liked Justice League but I didn't like Ezra Miller that played the Flash. His Flash was just plain Stupid.

[@shawnoleary6031]

Which comic series was this?

[@rodrigofigueiroa9184]

Batman-Superman World's Finest.

[@marzero116]

Always find it really stupid when they do the shows up and ) shows up and beat Superman in a fight for two reasons. 1. When they say because they're trained soldiers and Superman l. Which makes no sense because he's been fighting with those abilities for far longer than them. 2. Decades of growing up under satellite to get a lot of his power yet kryptonians show up and their immediately power boosted up to his level.

[@videohead5916]

I mean in this comic superman admits to rope-a-doping. He's purposefully losing to get Jax-ur into position. Batman just thinks his fake losing isnt good enough.

[@Optimegatrongodzilla]

@marzero116 The difference is that Kryptonian villains like Zod, Faora, Ursa, and Jax have combat training, while Supes doesn't, so them having said training *combined with* them having all of the powers that he has would give them an edge over him, making it tricky for Supes to handle one of them.

[@Soulfin]

​@@OptimegatrongodzillaYea but according to plenty of superman stories and even this one, they need time to adapt to the sun which Superman had his whole life done.

[@Optimegatrongodzilla]

@Soulfin I know, but them having combat training would still give them an edge over Supes to *some extent* .

[@Soulfin]

@@Optimegatrongodzilla I also forgot to mention that people on Krypton are under a red sun meaning they don't have powers, that means Jax-ur should be learning his new abilities on top of that while Superman already knows everything like second nature to him.

[@Semi-Addict-Gamer]

@@FrostDJakki3529🤦‍♂️ Superman is not “weak” to magic, he is just affected by it like any other person. His only true weakness is Kryptonite, and even that in some versions of him has little to no effect on him.

[@doctorleak5312]

He shouldn't be anywhere near supermans level in terms of strength or adaptiveness with his powers

[@Darkest2Knight]

Exactly. That's one thing I've never quite understood. Why are Kryptonians that are new to a yellow sun capable of going toe to toe with Supes after only minimal exposure? Obviously it's for the story but Superman has been under a yellow sun since he was a baby. He should easily outclass every other Kryptonian in terms of sheer power. And DC retconned his origin after the original Crisis so his powers didn't kick in until he hit puberty, which would mean his body had to soak up solar radiation for at least ten years, so why do other Kryptonians develop them almost immediately upon exposure to a yellow sun?

[@doctorleak5312]

@Darkest2Knight the only advantage of give them against superman is hand to hand combat that's it

[@niteshanthony2324]

[@susanrodriquez3757]

There was mutual respect in this comic but that’s not what happened at all in this comic as Batman was a side character throughout most of the fight. In fact it was Superman’s intelligence that was actually put on display over his super powers as Superman actually outsmarted his opponent instead of using brute strength like he often does. Superman “Rope-a-doped” Jaxor. If you don’t know what that means it is a Muhammad Ali boxing terminology of tricking a boxing opponent as he punches you while you relax against the ropes. This means Superman was letting him beat him as the trap was being set. Keep in mind Superman is about minimizing loss of life and this guy is a mass murderer. If Superman had fought him to the end, he would’ve likely won as Superman has much more experience with his powers but that would also mean potential loss of many lives during that fight. By using his mind and tricking him back to the Phantom Zone with Batman, he was able to save the day without casualties. Batman’s comment at the end should’ve clued you in that it was Superman’s idea followed by his comment about him using Ali’s rope-a-dope strategy.
