Timedog used to run something like that.
It's not even about that (though that's true). It just kinda takes the fun out of these talks when one character is given dumb advantages like "Let him prepare" or "Let him have a rematch." Silly thing to harp on in a talk like this, but eh.
Plus, Batman is hardly the only hero who prepares. Spidey has a damned armory, filled with weapons specifically tailored to each of his rogues.
It's because they know that when it comes down to it, Batman has no chance. So they go "well if you give him five months to prepare he can totally take down Superman," even though Supes could literally vaporize Bats in several different ways before he could get halfway to pulling out the Kryptonite from his pocket.
Pretty much seems like they do exactly this, but they only make one fight. What you're not seeing is that they are using all of their research and deciding on a victor; in all likelihood, the fight you see is just because they need to entertain fans on the video, not the actual 100% result of the research they used to decide a victor. They aren't going to unnecessarily balloon their budget and confuse people to create two fights when only one will do nicely.

Superman doesn't kill right?
Anybody would kill after hearing Goku drone on about LEVELS OF POWER for that long.

What? Since when does Goku drone on about power?
I'm including inner monologues as well. Also, in DBZ, it seems like after any time someone takes a big blow, they stand motionless with their hand on their side for like 2 minutes while the villain just waits around. I think Superman would just take of business instead of watching Goku hold his ribs with one eye closed and a sweat drop holding steady in place on his forehead. Too much recovery time between blows for the DBZ gang, Goku included.

Well yeah, the animation team had to expand a 15 page weekly comic book (including thought bubbles) into 20+ minutes of animation.

Depends on if you push him far enough. Even the Man of Steel has a breaking point.
Of course, you have to do something super-fucked up to get him to reach it.
As a general rule, no.
Depending on which comics you read, he has broken that rule on one or two extremely rare occasions. In the post-crisis continuity, he executed Zod and two other evil Kryptonians via Kryptonite for their crimes and the continuing danger they posed to Earth. In the iconic alternate universe story What Ever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, he (ending spoilers)
