Killing Superman:
Wait. . .what?
You can't kill Superman he's. . .well he's Superman. Even when Lex Luthor shoves Kryptonite in his face in every movie he still manages to escape, he's invincible. WRONG!!!
Here are more than a couple of ways for somebody to best Superman if they needed to, and believe it or not, some of these instances have occurred within the comics. Without further ado lets get started.
Kryptonite:
For those of you who don't know, and have never seen anything Superman related, Kryptonite is radioactive material from his home planet of Krypton, non poisonous to humans, definitely poisonous to him. It weakens Superman, prolonged exposure could kill him. Somehow Lex Luthor always gets a hold of this stuff and uses it against Superman. Also, Batman happens to have the largest ammount of Kryptonite in the world collected in one place, partly so that it's harder to find and won't be used against his friend, but also in case Supermarn turns evil.

As Mr. Sunday Movies on Youtube put it, "Superman, like anyone, if you hit him hard enough, can be hurt. The only difference is, you have to hit him really, really, really hard." There are a few people who can do this: Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam, Batman, (when using his Superman killing suit that he built himself.), and Doomsday. In fact, in the comic book titled: The Death of Superman, it is Doomsday who ends Superman once and for all. Also, I'm willing to bet that if The Flash got a running start, (of about the circumference of Earth), he could create a windup that would loosen the Man of Steel's jaw.

This is definitely a lesser known weakness, but can prove fatal for Superman. For whatever reason, Superman is just susceptible to magic leaving him vulnerable to other people such as, Wonder Woman, Shazam, Black Adam, Felix Faust, Klarion, Dr. Fate, or Zatanna. In fact anyone wielding a magical item, (like Wonder Woman's Sword), technically can hold their own against Superman. And perhaps it's not too far fetched for even Batman, somebody who trained to be good at everything, has a few spells up his sleeve. I would even go to say that this is his worst weakness because anyone, (even people from the Harry Potter Universe), could kill him.

Red Sun:
Red Sunlight emanates naturally from a Red Sun, (like the one that Krypton orbited). Red Sun Radiation makes Superman lose his powers, this is why no Kyrptonians have superhuman powers on Krypton, but on earth their skins drink our yellow sunlight. In Superman: Red Son, Batman exploits this by exposing him to the Red Sun lamps that he designed. If Superman were to be exposed to this one would either just have to shoot him, or lock him up and he would live his days out like the rest of us.

Lastly, this one wouldn't technically kill Superman on the spot, but it would render him helpless. Superman's hearing is enhanced to the point where every single thing said on earth can be heard from him, (this is how he locates danger globally). But if somebody were to exploit this in anyway it could cause Superman a great amount of pain, (Like we see near the beginning of Man Of Steel). Lots of people can do this, Lex Luthor has done it, Wonder Woman can do it, Batman has exploited it, and I'm willing to bet that Black Canary can do it.

So there you have it, Superman is not invincible, there are actually a bit more ways you could best Superman, like Lead, (he can't see through it, build a stealth suit out of lead. . .like Batman did.) Anyways, if there is anything we have learned from this list, it's probably that Wonder Woman is obviously better than Superman.
