Why hasn't Superman become immune to Kryptonite by now?

Thats not entirely true. All someone would have to do is drain him of the solar energy that has powered him or cause him to waste that same amount of energy (such as, say, exploding several nuclear bombs around him). Once drained of this energy, he would be quite vulnerable. Not to mention that events like Zero Hour proved that he is not invulnerable, with GL not even having Kryptonite he easily overpowers Supes.

Yes but the point is with out the K you might as well start making him like Goku. Because at that point it will go well if he is no longer weak against Kryptonite he should be able to still have his powers even if there is a Red Suna and so on.

I mean I like Superman as much as the next peson but taking away his one weakness and it won't stop until he becomes the US version of Goku.

 

I guess if Supes really wanted to be human, he could find a vaccination for the rays of the sun that make him powerful.

Well, Supes doesn't really like that idea... he hates it whenever theres an eclipse because he feels incredibly weak and cold... almost fragile... (despite the fact that the energy IS stored up in him... but thats not important)... there is the possibility that losing his ability to absorb the rays might kill him... or make him too weak to function... in his resurrection he needed to be fully restored as he was too weak without the proper energy to support him... but thats just a thought.

As to it being so important as his weakness... I think Supes has two weaknesses that are much more devesating... first, his stupidity... we can all admit that hes a decently smart guy... but he can be quite the moron at times... he doesn't have a clue... he is ALWAYS getting played... and he just doesn't get whats going on... and he often needs Bruce to make even the simplest situations clear... second, his devotion to humanity and his boyscout nature... while it is a great strength and element of his character, it often causes him to be naive and too limited in his power. If he followed the example of Batman, he might be better off. Ultimately Batman's goal is the protection of the innocents, but his focus isn't constantly on them. Yes, if Bats has to make a choice between stopping the villain and saving the life he'd go for the life... but he isn't constantly concerned with the people themselves... because everyone has problems... and its too much to get caught up in that... Bruce's focus is on the source of evil itself, actually going out there and taking down the badguys instead of just waiting for something to happen. While it once seemed that Supes exercised a policy of premptive strikes, he now just sits around and waits for problems to arrive, while Batman is constantly monitoring and keeping aware of everything that is happening. While people may call Bats bitter and detached, we've seen that that is really what is required to do the job... all that Bats is missing is Supes' powers... the boy scout STILL needs to learn a thing or two from the Dark Avenger.

 

Supes hates Solar Flares, too. Remember that one Smallville episode where there was a Solar Flare and Clark was speed running arount the U.S.?

 

In Kingdom Come (which takes place in the future),The Riddler asks why they don't just take him out with a bomb laced with Kryptonite,but Lex Luthor says it'd be a worthless endevour,becuase he's been exposed to the rays of our yellow sun for too long.

Possible future. Remember, it's Elseworlds. In DC 1,000,000 he is still vulnerable against it. So far, Batman has learned to make a synthetic Kryptonite that will disable him. Without killing him.

 

Why would Batman want to do that? Aren't they friends?

 

I'm no DC expert, but I believe Batman has contingency plans for many situations, including any possible tussle with his friends. I could have sworn that I read a comic or a book that mentions this.

 

As DarthPhelps points out, Batman tries to keep all bases covered. It bit him a few years ago when a baddie broke into his records on how to defeat all his Justice League teammates.

Think about it. You're a creative genius who has been constantly exposed to the worst humankind has to offer. You've got a buddy who's practically omnipotent and the only thing stopping him from running amok with his powers is this perfect boy scout nature. You're not a big believer in perfect boy scout natures and you have trust issues. What would YOU do?

A) Superman todl him
B) In case the Big S ever goes bad it is a good way to stop him.
C) Yes they are friends so you might as well let your friend be the one to end your life.

In Dark Knight Returns (or was it Strikes Back?) Supes has come under the control of Lex Luthor and the United States government. Thus Supes is ordered to take down Bats who has gone all vigilante. Bats is able to weaken Supes up by putting the Kryptonite on an arrow and having Green Arrow fire at just the right moment. Of course Bats wants to get a fair fight and beat him down with his fists first...

Also this scenario arises in the recent Batman/Superman series in which it is revealed that the Kryptonite is still locked away in Bats' vault. As others have mentioned, it is a contingency plan.

Imagine the power that could be wielded if someone were to mindcontrol Superman. In the case of DK Returns, control has been gained over Supes' actions by taking hostage his child and the last city of Krypton. This poses a great threat to the world and Bats needs a way to stop anyone with great power should they pose a threat.

In truth, the one person who truly seems unstoppable in my mind is Bats himself. If he were to turn evil, there is really no way to stop him. But I think he has a pretty good handle on himself for now.

The more important question would be: why hasn't he learned to wear his underwear inside his pants, dammit!
