The question isn't "who would and at what power level," its "why would they fight?" They are both too goody goody to even get mad at each other.
Although, if they did have a friendly match its more fun to image Batman and Vegeta taking bets with each other on who's "best friend"(even though none of them will admit it) would win.

I know its a comic book, but how is that fucking possible?
...This is why I can't stand reading Superman Comics.

That's why he got toned down post-Crisis. He can't fly through space anymore.

Thankfully! He is way too overpowered and annoying, at least now he gets his ass handed to him every now and then. I still won't read his series though, I just don't like him.

I believe after he returned from his death, he could fly through space.
Heck, in the current Superman arc several Kryptonians moved a freaking moon into New Krypton's orbit.

Me neither.

I just find it silly when people try to claim that Goku's more powerful than him, faster than him, etc. I don't think we should
want Goku to be that overpowered (that's an on topic unique belief of mine right there!)

But yeah... Freeza, Cell and Buu can theoretically fly through space, too. And Goku can teleport anywhere in or out of the universe, assuming there's a ki. Gotenks and Buu can scream so loud that they rip a hole in space. Superman is definitely over the top, but it's not like these make any sense either.

Normally I'd say Goku would win but I like that belief.

This is why I can't stand reading Superman Comics.
I can ask the same with DB too like how can Buu destroy a Planet 10X over with no effort? I don't like Superman too much but I do think he can be a good character depending on how he is wittren into the story. Like All Star Superman which was a very comic book IMO.
The question isn't "who would and at what power level," its "why would they fight?" They are both too goody goody to even get mad at each other.
Although, if they did have a friendly match its more fun to image Batman and Vegeta taking bets with each other on who's "best friend"(even though none of them will admit it) would win.
I argee since them becoming friends would be a better match up then fighting. I think it would be funny seeing Vegeta becoming friends with Batman

As soon as Goku realized that Superman is the strongest being in his universe, he'd get so excited that he wouldn't stop bugging Supes for a match until he got one.
But no, neither one of them would have intent to kill. They'd have a friendly match, with Goku probably operating at SSj- or SSj2-level, and would both end up impressing each other greatly and becoming friends.

There is something though that Supes could beat Goku at. A Jeopardy-like trivia contest or the like. Let's face it, Clark is a lot more book-smarter than Goku.

If you thought PC Superman was crazy, wait until you see Cosmic armor Superman from Final Crisis tie in Beyond 3D who was strong enough to beat Mandrakk, the most powerful of the Monitors that was feeding on the Multiverse itself.

Big difference between blowing up a planet and holding a black hole. Really... big difference.
Not as big a difference as Nappa making a Cobbler Pie Vs holding a black hole, but eh.
*Imagines some pan-comversal intity grabbing the DBs and having Shenron use his wacky dragon-magic against Superman*.
... *Interested that Jaws doesn't pronounce Superman as "Superm'n"*

The thing about bringing up black holes is that we dont know how a DB character would react to one.
But anyway in all honesty NONE of us know the Full extent of any DB characters destructive capabilities, they're constantly keeping their ki under control when they fight, and even then its always stated that the planet would be destroyed.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

.....will be sucked nd reduced to smithereens.... I saw lot of idiotic hentai with Transformers, but Superman always seems to me as more stupid then anything Japanese.....
Robot is f*stars*king maid because it's perverse and abnormal, but Superman is battling with blackholes because it's cool..... There is nothing sexy or good about it, it's cool for ten year old kids that there is only one idiot on this planet and many other planets as well, who can compete with black hole.
What am I interested about Suppaman, does he going on toilet? That seems much more interesting for me then: UAAAAEGH, Ima unbreakableee und undestroyaable!!!
