Not really accurate.
There have only been a handful of times Batman and Superman have fought in the comics.
One was Death in the Family when Jason died, and that wasn't really a fight so much as Batman just being angry and punching Superman and nearly breaking his hand.
Another was The Dark Knight Returns which was never canon at all. It was just Frank Miller being Frank Miller. He also turned Catwoman into a prostitute and the less said about All-Star Batman the better.
Batman and Superman also fought in Hush because Poison Ivy was mind-controlling Superman.
That's really about all the fights they ever had in the comics. There may be a few minor skirmishes I am forgetting, but them fighting has never really been a common occurrence at all.
In fact, they have had a team-up comic titled simply Superman/Batman since about 2002 or 2003.

Yes, I know about World's Best/Finest. I was talking more about the modern age of comics since that is where most people tend to think of this great Batman and Superman rivalry with them fighting all the time.
World's Finest ended publication in 1986 with the COIE relaunch, which is where the "Modern Age of Comics" began. A new World's Finest comic didn't begin publication until last year, and that comic has nothing to do with the former series. This new series is set on an alternate universe (Earth-2) and the main characters are Power Girl and Huntress.

Poor SuperPro. He can't even debut without Spiderman showing up. Spidey should held out to at least issue #3 before taking over the issue. I imagine if SuperPro started his issue today, he would be 4th billing behind the guest stars of Spiderman, Wolverine & Ironman. Better yet, he'd be 3/4 hidden by Hulk who somehow also got to be on the cover.

I'm not a fan of Timberlake's music, but he's a good actor. I wouldn't object to him appearing in anything.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_SuperPro
Written by Fabian Nicieza. That guy will write anything. Plus this little gem:
I thought fantasy football was the bridge between jock and nerd. Maybe once Hollywood runs out of board games to make into movies they can tackle that instead.
Written by Fabian Nicieza. That guy will write anything. Plus this little gem:
NFL SuperPro has been called one of the worst comics in recent Marvel Comics history, becoming a cult object. Often cited in this claim are issues with the plot and the characters. For example, in the first issue a group of thieves incinerate valuable NFL merchandise but it is never explained why they burn it instead of selling it off. Writer Fabian Nicieza admitted he wrote the story to gain free NFL tickets. He stated that he still receives flak for his comic.
In 2005, the Chicago Sports Review called it "perhaps the worst comic book ever created".[2]

I know this can't be true.
Justin Bieber to Join Ben Affleck in ‘Batman vs. Superman’… as Robin?
If you thought people went batshit when Ben Affleck was cast as Batman, well, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Late Friday evening, pop dynamo Justin Bieber posted a picture to Instagram of the screenplay to the upcoming film Batman vs. Superman, written by David S. Goyer and Zack Snyder. The film will be directed by Man of Steel helmer Zack Snyder, and see Henry Cavill reprise his role as Superman with Ben Affleck joining him as Batman.
The script Bieber posted appears to be a personalized copy with Bieber printed on it in big letters. From the front page of the screenplay, it says that the film will be based on Batman: The Dark Knight Falls by author Frank Miller and illustrator Klaus Janson, the fourth and final book of their graphic novel miniseries The Dark Knight Returns, which pits Superman and Batman against one another on the battlefield. Also, the date on the script appears to say it was last revised Aug. 30. But the real news is that Bieber posted a little message accompanying the picture: #robin? The post has over 400,000 likes at time of writing.
Of course, we don’t know if Bieber has been offered the role of Batman’s trusty sidekick Robin, a.k.a. Dick Grayson (or if this is another elaborate trolling of the Internet by Jimmy Kimmel). Grayson is the youngest member of a family trapeze act called the “Flying Graysons” and, after his parents are murdered, becomes a ward of the state, and eventually, Batman’s boy Friday. What we do know is if the 19-year-old pop sensation was sent a copy of the movie’s script, it’s safe to say there’s interest in him participating in the film in some capacity.
The news comes on the heels of Thursday’s announcement that Ben Affleck’s Batman would be “tired and weary and seasoned and been doing it for awhile,” according to Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara. He made the remarks during an investor gathering, officially titled the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Media, Communications and Entertainment Conference.

Covered on the last page. Or probably this page depending on what your settings are.

Amidst all the Batman-related hoopla, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a cameo appearance by Superman somewhere in the film.

The casting calls going out for Warner Bros. next Superman movie are quite brilliantly vague. I’ve learned today that they’re looking for a new female lead, but the information they’re giving is incredibly light.
I can tell you that she’ll be somewhere between twenty five and thirty three – or at least leave the impression of a woman in that age range, whatever that might be.
I can tell you that she needs to be physically strong. They’re specific about that.
And I can tell you that the discussion in some agencies who have been submitting actors for this role is that they’re sending up candidates for the role of Wonder Woman. They don’t know that it’s her, it’s just become their expectation, or at least a rumour that’s coloured their conception.
