Superman:
Who can stop this constipated jock,

With the awful animation and the complicated plot?

Who's got the rap bombs to drop on Japan?

This looks like a job for the OG…

Jimmy Olsen
Superman!

Superman
I'm killing it; you're Krillin it. I'm villainous to vegetables

Who dance around in hammer pants that hide their tiny genitals!

My level is incredible! I'm out of your league!

You want justice? I'll bust this nut up in your Chi-Chi!

Greasy, slick emcee from DC!

With one breath, I'll freeze your whole measly species!

You're primitive and limited. You live in a village of idiots!

Step in Metropolis, I'll snap a carrot, period!

Goku
How many times are they gonna rewrite your story?!

Your powers have been boring since the nineteen fucking forties!

Krillin
Goku!

Goku
Defeat me with heat beams? You're crazy,

'Cause I'm a Super Saiyan. You're a flying Miss Daisy!

You're pretty pasty to be powered by the sun.

You can't flow to Son Goku; I Kaio-ken get it done!

When I see your movies, all I do is watch the clock,

'Cause there's nothing fun about a superhero scared of green rocks!

Look at those panties (oh!), you got that camel toe!

I'll report to Lois Lane, and Superman that ho!

Superman
Ha ha! Your rapping is weaker than your fight scenes!

Just one punch and over nine thousand screams!

I'll make your nose bleed like Roshi sniffing panties.

From Z to GT, you can Dragon Ball deez!

Goku
Don't lecture me about fights, you caped coward!

You got your ass beat by a bat with no powers!

There's only one way that this battle's gonna end:

One more Superman who's never gonna walk again!

General

 * This battle won the Best Music Video award in the 2014 Streamys.
 * A preview of Isaac Newton can be seen in the end of the battle.
 * This is the second, and by far the last battle to have small clips of future ERBs, the first being Rick Grimes vs Walter White.
 * This is the fifth battle where both title characters are fictional, after Gandalf vs Dumbledore, Doc Brown vs Doctor Who, Batman vs Sherlock Holmes, and Rick Grimes vs Walter White.
 * This is the sixth battle with one fictional character going against another at any point in the battle, with The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come going against Ebenezer Scrooge in Donald Trump vs Ebenezer Scrooge.
 * This is the second battle to feature a superhero and their sidekick, after Batman vs Sherlock Holmes.
 * Coincidentally, both times EpicLLOYD and Nice Peter each play a character on the same side.
 * Both of these sides feature DC Comics characters.
 * This is currently the most viewed ERB of season 3.

Continuity

 * Discounting the previews in the end of Nice Peter vs EpicLLOYD, this is the first battle to have a sneak preview for it in a previous battle.
 * The second is Stephen King vs Edgar Allan Poe and the third is Sir Isaac Newton vs Bill Nye.
 * ERB logo replacement: The "S" on Superman's shirt is replaced with "ERB".
 * Also, the Kanji written on the World Martial Arts Tournament building's banner actually reads a Japanese translation of the series' name, Epic Rap Battles of History.
 * This is the seventh battle where an actor makes multiple cameo appearances, after Genghis Khan vs Easter Bunny, Mr. T vs Mr. Rogers, Nice Peter vs EpicLLOYD, Michael Jackson vs Elvis Presley, Hitler vs Vader 3, and Blackbeard vs Al Capone.
 * This is the fourth battle to reference MC Hammer or his song "U Can't Touch This", the first two being Barack Obama vs Mitt Romney, Gandhi vs Martin Luther King Jr. and Nikola Tesla vs Thomas Edison.

Errors

 * Krillin's name is misspelled as "Krillen" in the credits.
 * During the "To drop on Japan" line, a hole can be seen in Superman's chest, revealing a portion of the Fortress of Solitude. It is due to a sensivity error in editing, where the yellow part becomes darker and thus approaches a shade of the green screen.
