Batman is that creepy stalker guy who watches a celebrity for 30 years learning their every behavior and collecting their trash.
When the fight actually occurs, Batman knows as much, if not more about, his opponent than his opponent does. (if given the chance to learn about his opponent)
well if you ever watched the new batman episodes(the one with the futaristic batman) there was a episode where he joined what was left of the justice league and superman was kinda old he had like grey hair and everything

He's invulnerable, sure, but does that just mean he doesn't die? Or that nothing could ever hurt him, ever (i.e. Not even effected by knockback/feels no pain).

A lot.
That'd make a good episode. I'd buy it on DVD if it came out.
You could probably electrocute him or trap his nerves using a variety of martial art and medical techniques. Then again I'm not really up to speed on Kryptonian physiology, I just assume its a molecular density issue.

Oh, and to answer the initial question of the topic: comics for the most part follow a much different timeline, so in the current DC universe maybe only 15 years (and that's stretching it) have passed since Superman first appeared.

Superman is one of the worst superheroes conceived. He just doesn't have any fun in him. Batman doesn't have powers, Spiderman can't just blast everything around with lazer eyes, flight and speedh4x, etc. Being Supeman is too easy compared to other heroes.
I vote Nightcrawler and Spidey for overall coolness.
<i>Superman Returns</i> came out and he's <b>STILL</b> the same age. Plus his uniform colors were just wrong.

superman does age. on that futuristic batman show where brucewayne is like 80 and he got some kid to replace him superman makes a appearance and hes aged slightly he has some grey hair
For anyone who thinks Superman is "lame" because he has a bunch of powers, you need to read Superman: Secret Identity, Superman: Red Son, and Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow. Those are probably the 3 best Superman stories ever written, and show that Superman is not just this guy who is invincible, he's an actual 3-dimensional character.
For those of you wondering how Batman fits in with all the powered heroes, you should read a couple of stories from the recent Superman/Batman series: Public Enemies and Absolute Power. Jeph Loeb does an excellent job of portraying the characters as 2 sides of the same coin.
And for some miscellaneous comic recommendations, you should all read Invincible (best superhero book on the market today), The Walking Dead, Fables, Sandman (by Neil Gaiman, widely considered one of the best self contained books ever), WE3 and finally Pride of Baghdad which was just released last week (I haven't read it yet, but I've heard nothing but good things about it).

GG the Batman. He should have finished the job.
EDIT - And the above is literally nothing compared to the whuppin he gets in DKR2.
He's invulnerable, sure, but does that just mean he doesn't die? Or that nothing could ever hurt him, ever (i.e. Not even effected by knockback/feels no pain).
