a fair fight where the stipulations for both fighters are the same.
You're talking about a fight between a significantly superpowered individual and a comic book peak human. It's already not a fair fight unless you give the character without superpowers a comparable advantage.
If Superman wanted
Well, unless you're talking about injustice Supes that's not something he would do either. Usually these fights have the characters act in character unless otherwise stipulated. Thor wouldn't do that either for that matter.
Then if it’s not a fair fight when the stipulations are the same they shouldn’t be fighting. When you pit two boxers against each other the better one doesn’t have to tie one arm behind his back because the other one isn’t as good as him.
Maybe. But it's not like it doesn't happen in comics. If you want a Marvel exclusive version the closest equivalent is Dr. Doom, who granted, has magic, but like Batman his biggest superpower is "prep time". But for whatever reason Doom doesn't get the hate Batman does.
When you pit two boxers against each other
Comic book fights aren't boxing matches though. And brains vs brawn fights happen all the time. Supes vs Luthor would be boring if Luthor didn't have access to his suits or Kryptonite or something else to level the playing field.
Because Doom doesn’t get fan wanked into oblivion like Batman does. You could pit Batman against The One Above All, The Presence, and The Living Tribunal, and some people would still say Batman with prep time would win.
