Ok, but by that statement you acknowledge that Superman would be smart enough to avoid Batman. That's self admission that Batman is the superior of Superman. And I agree that DarkKnight wasnt in continuality of the DC universe of the time BUT since that story took place in the future, one can make the argument it would be part of the continuality when that time happens to come by.
I meant that Superman would avoid the SITUATION of putting himself against Batman, not Batman himself. The storyline of Dark Knight Returns features Superman selling out to the U.S. government, which is an interesting but inaccurate representation of Superman's character. Frank Miller himself has stated that he's not a fan of Superman in the first place, and ergo the reason for the biased presentation.
Batman, as awesome as he is, would not stand a chance against Superman. Batman is, after all, just a normal guy; a guy with incredible learned fighting abilities, but no superhuman powers.

Edge: Oh boy, here we go...
Bono: Wow, how many is that now Adam?
Adam: Nine. If I didn't have my spoons, I'd go insane.
Bono: Can I see it?
*adam gives bono the spoon, bono throws it away*
Adam: My spoon!
