The main difference is form. Beowulf is a lyric poem, a long story, which exists mainly in one format, an Old English transcription of a previous orally passed-down story, and some translations of that text. There have been attempts to make dramatised versions of this story, but they are all basically the same story.
Batman however is more than just one story and also exists in many different formats. Starting first as a comic strip in America (originally The Bat Man) in 1939, the comic strip has produced thousands of stories. There was a series of cartoon adventures made for the cinema, two live action television series, and several feature films featuring the character.

Superman has "powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men," thanks to his extraterrestrial origin: invulnerable skin, heat vision, cold breath, flight, super-strength... the list goes on. He's also open and friendly, wearing no mask; and he considers the entire world to be under his protection. He has only two major weaknesses: to kryptonite and magic. His tag line is, 'The Man of Steel'.
Batman is a mere human, but a human who has honed his body to an Olympic-scale degree: his senses, reaction time, Martial Arts prowess and tolerance for pain are at a level that few other mere mortals can match. In addition, Batman employs proprietary and state-of-the-art tools for crime-solving and concealment, wears a mask, and prefers to operate from the shadows. In many ways he is smarter than Superman, and is certainly far more crafty: he believes that to catch a criminal, one has to think like a criminal. His tag line is, 'The World's Greatest Detective.'
