Finally a thread in which Batman isn't dead in three seconds. Though it depends too much on the circumstances, I still give it to Batman.

With prep Batman easily. He can create one of those mutant depowering devices that shut off the x-gene and then fondle Storm all he wants.
Only catch would be that Storm could fight from a distance so that the emitter wouldn't have an effect, but knowing Bats, he'd create an emmitter that worked from orbit and covered a large radius (given enough prep, if he only has a couple hours he might not be able to pull something like that off).
If he can't shut off Storm's powers, I don't think he has Bat-Biblical Force Cataclysmic Weather Repellant, so he might be in a bit of trouble if Storm has time to cook up something ala that movie "The Day After Tomorrow". With prep, she definitely could.
Storm. She has way to many powers to fight with. She weilds lightning, wind, rain, hail and frost. He cant block all of them. He scouldnt put the x-gene blocker on her. He could not even get near her she flies. He cant block all of her powers and if he make an x-gene block hell never get it on their!
I never understood the science behind the x-gene inhibitor. How do you shut off a part of someone's genetic code? That's like having a machine that would turn off a person's racial distinction.
Even with prep time Batman's going to die. People usually (in the U.S. anyway) get prep time when hurricanes or tornadoes are heading their way, and people still die. We can't stop them so the only thing batman can do is head for the storm cellar and hope for the best or use that prep time to book a flight out of town, otherwise he's toast.
he doesnt need to depower her with prep, thats just one unimaginative solution. Trickery, subterfuge, etc.... he could use holographic projectors and the like to make her think she got him, then when she came down to check it out he sneaks up and batawhacks her.

I imagine he'd lay a diversion or something and while she's distracted, he hits her with.... what the heck, how about an electrified bolas. Wait a minute... explosive bolas.
That would suck if he didn't. Batman's shtick with prep is knowing what he's fighting then preparing to counter it. It's not like Dr. Strange preparing spells or Absorbing Man takin' in some steel.

With Prep Bats simple shoots a dart filled with some kind of knock out solution from somewhere where Storm cant see her.
Or he tags her with rope and simply knocks her out.
