Using the official marvel ones:

Intelligence: 5

Strength 3

Speed 2

Durability 2

Energy projection 1

Fighting ability 7

snoopdogg
Intelligence: 6(Stark has a six)

Strength: 3

Speed: 2

Durability:3

Energy projection:1

Fighting skills: 7

One thing that may raise these numbers is his suit. I mean Ironman suite gives him all of his power. Batmans enhances his durablity. So he may get a 3 on durabilty.

Psycho Ninja
Energy Projection should be 0 !!!

Nope. In the Marvel ratings system 1 equals none.

Did someone actually give Bruce a 5 in intelligence? Oh my freakin god...have you seen what this guy has done? The man is a 7 at the VERY least, probably an 8.5 on intelligence.

He has feats that are insane for a "normal human".

how can you give Batman ANY points for flight speed?

golem370
Hovering with his cape doesn't he like have a bulit in Hovering device or something?

Scoobless
I don't think so

golem370
He did in the movies laughing

DarkCrawler
The fact is, Batman is not a genious. He has learned to be smart. Stark is a natural genious, like Reed.

golem370
Well I read that when Batman first started he was a chemist and thats how he got his peak human abilities by some kind of potion not dissimilar to the Super Soliders Cerium.
