I, along with others, have posted youtubes of various fights the animated universe Superman has had with the likes of Captain Marvel and Darkseid and so I thought I'd start a thread that specifically talks about such fights. For the most part, I think the animated universe presents some pretty good and pretty accurate fights ("accurate" meaning they don't do things like have the Question knock down Superman with a punch and the like).

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlcXA_iokPc[/youtube]

Above is from the Superman episode "Knight Time," in which Superman comes to Gotham City and teams up with Robin to find Batman/Bruce Wayne, who has gone missing. To that end, Superman dresses up as Batman and some hilarity ensues. In this clip, Superbats faces off against an enhanced Bane. What I like about this fight is that it demonstrates the difference in fighting styles between Batman and Superman, which really stands out when you have Superman in Batman's outfit. Batman uses kicks and judo and other martial arts while Superman uses basic punches and maybe a pro wrestling move here and there in general.

One of my favorite episodes of Superman the Animated Series.

Loved the interplay between Superman and Robin.

A fight that possesses the physics of the potential of a Superman/Darkseid fight.

They're all pretty awesome but my favorite is when Superman beats up Darkseid in Brainiac's ship.

The much derided Superman: Doomsday has some great fight sequences.

That was great when he burned through Darkseid's foot.

The scene with the Penguin was classic.

Yep; I dream of the day they can do a fight like the Doomsday v. Superman battle in live action.

The Neo/Mr. Smith fight from the third Matrix was the closest I have seen.

This one isn't a "fight" per se, but it is one of my favorite little pieces of interaction between Batman and Wonder Woman...
