Because of Jesse Eisenberg's role as Lex Luthor, the infamous "Martha" moment, and the terrible apocalyptic CGI, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is often considered a failure. Before the fiasco of "Martha", Superman and Batman fought an epic battle in an abandoned warehouse, and Superman pushed Batman around effortlessly.
Despite this, Batman set up a lot of traps and used his brain and some kryptonite to outwit Iron Man and almost killed him. Before realizing that their mother had the same name, the two heroes both shot some wonderful shots and threw them at each other like rag dolls.
Although the airport battle is an epic battle, a more personal story between Tony and Karp appears at the end of Captain America: Civil War.
