Can Superman Die?
Well, that is a very loaded question. Yes, and well, No.
Superman of the mainstream Post Crisis universe has in fact "died" in Superman (1986 Series) issue #75. He later returned to life after a very interesting story line. Read up on the Reign of the Supermen for the whole theory.
Superman, Kal-L of Earth-2 Pre Crisis, also died in Infinite Crisis issue #7.
Both of them died from exhausting their powers after long drawn out battles with an opponent of equal or greater strengths (Doomsday and Superboy of Earth Prime respectively). Kal-L also had the added disadvantage of weakening his powers by passing through a Red Son.
Superman has really 4 weaknesses. He is weak against Green Kryptonite rocks of the Universe he originated (was a big deal back in the Pre Crisis days of the Silver age that the universe mattered, because if you were from Earth-2, then Earth-1 Green Kryptonite did not affect you. He is weak against strong magic. And finally, a weakness of sorts is that he needs to be under a Yellow Sun to keep his powers. If he is under a Red Sun or away from a Yellow Sun in deep space for prolonged amounts of time, he is not recharging. Red Sun may actually drain him of his powers faster. So, if he is fighting hard and not recharging, he will run out. His final weakness is his humanity and feelings for those around him. He cannot kill, and because of that, people can use that against him.
Now, the Hulk, he is an unstoppable force when he is powered up, but he can be stopped by tiring him out or getting him calmed down. So, he too has a weakness, on the Shield has used many times to take him out.
Batman is a Tactician and studies his enemies or Foes carefully. He knows Superman better than Superman knows himself. He even has a Green Kryptonite ring of Luthors in a lead box for the day that Superman goes rouge.
If Batman was in the Marvel Universe, my thought is he would also know everything that Shield knows about Bruce Banner, the Hulk, and therefore would also know his weaknesses.
My conclusion is that Batman would have the advantage in this battle because he would be outclassed in strength, speed and endurance, but lets face it, the Hulk is not the brightest, and Superman would never see the Green Kryptonite coming until it was too late.

It would be the hulk and this is why....Batman could easily handle superman through the use of the kryptonite ring that clark gave him, once superman is out it would be between batman and the hulk,the hulk is not affected by any form of kryptonite or radiation and gets stronger as he fights, plus he has a healing factor similar to wolverine's, the only way batman could beat him is to reverse the hulk back to bruce banner, unfortunately once the hulk is transformed completely enraged it would be suicidal to get close to him not to talk about touching him in any way,batman would need the help of the justice league otherwise i believe that the hulk would destroy him before taking down the rest of gotham city.

Bats, no sweat. Unless it was the intelligent Hulk. Then there might be some competition. Of course, With the kryptonite ring that Batman has, Supes would be no problem, and if the Hulk is his stupid self, well, Batman has fought harder enemies.
Ohh, and Superman also has an inherent weakness to magic.

Yes, Superman can die. He was apparently killed by a character called Doomsday. Also if you shoved some kryptonite down his throat he might have some trouble gripping onto life.
In the fight Superman would dominate. Hulk is strong but has no speed, giving the caped one a big advantage. Batman is a guy with expensive toys. 'Nuffsaid!

Batman is my personal favorite but i know he probably wouldn't win unless he does some snooping and finds out super is weak against kryptonite and hulk just needs to settle down.
All Hulk has is power and rage, he'd probably destroy himself before his opponents, so he'd defiantly not win.
Super would probably be the favorite because he's fast, strong, and has the most power.
So i guess superman would win, But Batman does have a fighting chance.
