Superman transfers his powers to Batman, not willingly but because of a supervillain.
Batman has not desired for superpowers to hold what is his own. Instead of depending on his detective skills and brutal methods to fight crime, he has never needed them. There was a time when Batman had gained all the abilities of Superman, as Superman transfers his powers to Batman, but in fact, Batman used the newfound power to become even more brutal than ever.
Superman/Batman #54 by Mike Johnson, Michael Green, Rags Morales, John Dell, Rob Leigh, and Nei Ruffino pits the Man of Steel and Dark Knight against the supervillain, Silver Banshee with magical powers. After Banshee encounters the heroes at the museum and departs. Neither of them, Batman and Superman, feel quite right. It was revealed later that Superman’s Kryptonian abilities were transferred to Batman. This leaves Superman powerless and Batman more powerful because Superman transfers his powers to Batman.
The two persuade the help of the conjurer Zatanna in chasing Silver Banshee so they can return to ordinary, but in the meantime, Batman supposes to maximize his time with Superman’s proficiencies after Superman transfers his powers to Batman.
With Clark’s help, Bruce promptly discovers how to regulate his powers, and utilizes them to stop as much crime in Gotham as feasible. According to Commissioner Gordon, Batman even establishes a record, “Tonight’s the first night in the history of the GCPD that we haven’t had a single 911 call,” he says. But Batman doesn’t halt there. When word gets out that Venom has created its way onto the streets of Gotham, Batman realizes the source must be his old enemy: Bane.
Batman tracks him down and provides him a brutal beatdown, so brutal that, according to Nightwing, he would have perished had he not been enormous of venom. The old Boy Wonder is the first to know that these powers have altered Batman for the terrible.
After Superman Transfers His Powers to Batman, They Wanted To Return Back To Their Own Selves
With Superman’s powers, Batman can broaden his campaign far beyond Gotham. The Dark Knight begins battling crime all around the world, allowing the sun to hunt him as he follows the night. He comes to be convinced that he is the world’s mere hope, but after his feud with Nightwing, the Justice League infers they have to interfere and stop Batman before it’s too delayed.
They meet Batman on the moon, a team of Wonder Woman, Firestorm, Supergirl, Hawkgirl, Red Tornado, Hal Jordan, and John Stewart. But they are no match for the mind of Batman incorporated with all of Superman’s capabilities. He takes down nearly the entire team, but before he can complete the job, Zatanna’s vision of his parents attracts him back to Earth, where the conjurer manages to restore both Batman and Superman to their ordinary selves, the way they were before Superman transfers his powers to Batman.
It’s clear that Silver Banshee’s spell also altered Bruce’s mind, resulting in him becoming increasingly volatile after Superman transfers his powers to Batman. Before switching back, Batman attempted to keep the strengths for himself, conveying that they were expended on Clark and would be of decent use in his hands, but this story verified that Batman requires physical restrictions to keep up in touch with his humanity.
