Today on the BBC web site there was this article [read it here], written as a comparison of James Bond (the double-ought agent) and Jason Bourne (whose sidekick is not Ben Afleck).
Of course it is fun to speculate on such battles of epic proportions, but come on! Everyone knows the outcome of all these battles... the person whose name is in the title of the movie wins!
Sometimes writers and directors are brave or daring or annoying enough to kill off the hero, but usually only after he has already killed the bad guy (think Gladiator). Who would win in a fight between Batman and Superman? Superman should win... not that I would want him to. But on the screen, they would probably both survive, maybe even become friends. The real question is who would win if you pitted a hero against a slightly modified version of himself: Superman vs. Ninja-double-o-Superman (with Iocane Immunity)?

I was taking your post seriously until you suggested that Superman would win against Batman. Obviously you have not read Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns"
Which clearly defines how the fight would go down. Now as far as the other characters go, the ninja/pirate fight is so unbalanced as to not even be funny. Perhaps it would be more fair to put one ninja against all pirates... then the odds might be a little more balanced. Finally, the picture you posted of Bourne having the upper hand on Bond seems to pretty accurate to me. Of course if Jason just so happened to have a flashback of his top secret training, it might give Bond the chance to toss a poker chip and cause a big enough distraction so that he could escape.
Bourne could take out Bronson, Moore, Lazenby, and Dalton (one on one, or all together) right quick with no fuss. Connery or Craig could probably take him. Hopefully the fight would be filmed by the James Bond people so we could actually tell what was happening during it.
(Note: Actually the flash-cutting/queasy-cam in Ultimatum was as good as I've ever seen it done - I liked it a lot. But I still like the good old days when you could actually tell what was going on in a fight scene.)
