What the fukk is this prep time?
Lol, im not letting that nikka prep shyt im knocking him out before he hits the bat cave....
"Prep time" is short for the main strategy batman employs. It means that he takes as long as neccessary preparing, before engaging. i.e. by the time he shows up to fight you he already understands how to beat you, has trained and built everything needed to do so, and its ready and in place.
In the comics he spends years developing the system neccessary to bring down superman.
Likewise, he spent decades training before ever attempting to fight crime.
He watched crime happen around him for years, and could of stopped lots of it along the way of his training... but ignored it all until he had spent a decade mastering every technique he factored he would need. Someone murders his parents, he prepares for 10 - 15 years, then engages him. So when he runs up on superman he has an entire plan in place involving exploiting Superman's weaknesses (kryptonite, magic, red UV radiation, etc) deceit, playing on Superman's emotions (via Diana/Wonder Woman), exploiting his relationships (He learns superman is Clark Kent, goes back and researches and Martha Kent, Lana Lang, dates and extracts info from Lois Lane, etc) its quite complex and elaborate. Batman injects stuff into his bloodstream, gives Alfred/Robin directions to carry out depending on what happens, recruits others like Green Arrow to assist him... Superman has no idea what hit him.
Batman has an orbital satalite laser pointed at the Fortress of Solitude.
If they were to just fistfight at random, yes Superman anihilates him. But with "prep time"... its a whole different ballgame.
