Super man vs *anything* discussions do not go well.
People are STILL salty and arguing on that deathbattle superman vs goku, and it happened nearly two years ago now,

Have to post since it was the final ep well until season 2.
Madhouse did such a great job with the series .
From art , music , animation and everything else.
One of the best adaptations i have seen .

While Saitama is clearly OP in his own universe, he doesn't stack up too high in western comic book universes. Although we haven't really seen what Saitama going all-out looks like, so that could change.
I'd put Saitama somewhere around a full-power Hulk. He's faster than the Hulk, but doesn't have the healing factor. Very strong a durable, but couldn't hack it against western heroes like Superman or Flash, who can move around at light speed (or faster) and move planets and totally ridiculous shit like that.

Saitama vs discussions can't really take place because he has no known limit as of now

Anyone who has read up to ONE's version knows this is hilariously untrue.
Saitama is much, much faster than Superman and could easily hang with the Flash.
Edit:
This. Within his powerset (durability, speed, strength) he has yet to be shown with a limit.

Just stop, never ever try to make a serious and a gag character compete. It never works, and should never be thought about.
I have read ONE's version, and Saitama can't hang with the Flash. The Flash outran instantaneous teleportation.
That doesn't seem to hold true for presidential elections.
I was going to say "that doesn't even fucking make sense!" but then I remembered the Speed Force is bullshit

And Saitama is casually faster than a hero whose signature ability is light speed.
Again, he hasn't been shown with any sort of limit.

I think the Superman vs. Saitama outcome hinges on if Saitama forgot about a sale

Silver Age Supes vs. Saitama is a fair fight, because Silver Age Supes is effectively a reality warper who gets powers as the plot demands.
Any other incarnation, Saitama does what he does. Because he's a gag character, you guys.

Even Batman took down Superman.
Add Cosmic Armor Superman/Thought Robot to the list, he is basically plot armor personified.

Saitama jumped from the moon back to Earth in an instant. Light takes 7 minutes (I think?) to travel from the moon to Earth. That is MUCH faster than the speed of light.

Eh, is Saitama a gag character, though? His powers don't change for the plot or for the humor. Being practically invincible doesn't make him a gag character, does it? He's just super strong, fast and durable with no discernible limit. When I think of gag characters the Mask, Freakazoid and Bugs Bunny come to mind.
Unrelatedly, I really enjoyed Atomic's scenes:

Consecutive Punch Man is over, RIP anime until JoJo comes out.
Saitama is a fucking gag character, stop putting him in versus fights, he wins no matter what.

Google says 1.3 seconds.

Light takes 7 minutes to get from the sun to the Earth. The moon is on a 3 second delay, IIRC, so about 1.5 light seconds.
Well, his "gag" is that he's OP as fuck. It's consistent, but still a gag.

As awesome as MadHouse's adaptation is, the manga is even better. I think you're in for a real treat.
And then once you catch up to that you can segue to ONE's version!

If anyone starts reading the manga I suggest they read all the extra chapters before the Boros arc.
The side-stories are well worth reading.

Oh, for anyone wondering since I can't recall them ever saying so, Iai is A Class Rank 2.

One Punch Man was the anime of the year for me...... I can't wait for season 2
I don't really find them comparable in anything other than fight scene quality, honestly. The fights in TTGL are cool but eeehhh. It's otherwise a hella lot more typical shonen than OPM is. Extremely different humor.

this was so dope. i wish Metal Bat would've had some cool scenes aside from meanmugging for the cameras.
He gets a moment sometime in the future.
Fictional hero vs battles are pointless, because the fictional heroes don't exist.
The people who make superhero comics are artists, and superhero comics are art, and you're trying to apply science to it.
"What about that time Superman flew into the sun? The sun is over 5,000 degrees Kelvin, and that's just the surface! I've run the numbers!" Well the person who wrote the story didn't run the numbers. There is no official Superman science facts spreadsheet that they all consult to make sure it checks out, because Superman is not an education tool for teaching people about the melting point of fictional aliens. It's a story about heroism triumphing against evil.
When two superheroes fight in a comic, the one who wins is the one who the writer likes more, and that is literally the only consideration they gave to that.

They should change openings for s2 then bring this one back out of nowhere midbeatdown on the next big bad.

Metal Bat is getting so much attention right now in the manga I am not complaining. If S2 happens and it does not skip any content, he's going to have more than enough cool scenes.
