The Ulitmate battle would be Superman taking on Japan's
greatest monster
import. Back in 1974 in Justice League of America #111, a new
supervillan called Libra formed the Injustice Gang to fulfill his own
twisted criminal desires by using the super villains to take on the
Justice
League. As the superheroes were about to embark on their mission to
depose of the would-be super-villain gang the silver age Flash (Barry
Allen) came up with the idea that he was bored fighting the same
super-villians and that the heroes switch fighting their arch foes (for
example: the Mirror Master was in the newly formed gang and that had been
the Flash's most common foe, Kronos, the Atom's foe, the Scarecrow:
Batman's foe ect.) the Flash's idea appealed to the current heroes,
however, Batman found the idea stupid and very idiotic.
So Aquaman
suggested taking all of the villians names and putting them into a hat
and let what villainous name each hero picked, that's to whom they'd
fight. With a very angry Batman telling them to use someone else's cowl
for the draw. To try to make a long story short, Superman drew the
Scarecrow's name. And upon his pursuit of the Criminal Master of Fear,
Superman came upon two monsters King Kong and Godzilla destroying and
terrorizing a crowded street of civilians. Taking the Godzilla Monster by
the tail Superman with ease hurdles the beast into the King Kong monster
and thus both monsters vanish as the crowd grows fearless of Superman's
easy handling of the two beasts created by the Scarecrow. Superman was
temporally subdued by the Scarecrow with the villain creating a monster
called an Octosaur from Superman's home planet Krypton.
Thus a very brief encounter with Godzilla. The only other time Superman
had an encounter with King Kong was an issue of Superman (1st series:
#202 (I Believe, not sure) May 1970) Titled "The Day Superman Became King
Kong" causing the hero to turn into the monster while watching the movie
"King Kong" and opening up a box of Cracker Jacks, the red ball prize
turned out to be a piece of Red Kryptonite.
