The Grandmaster has offered Thanos of Titan membership into The Elders of the Universe. Thanos has to defeat a being of The Grandmaster's creation that he claims will rival the power of The Mad Titan. An amalgam of 3 earthborn mortals, from two different realities.
Intrigued and not having had a challenge in eons, Thanos mulls the offer. The thought of adding the Power Primordial to his own personal might is too much to bear. If he were to tap into it in conjunction with The Fallen One's black matter and his own cosmic might...the possibilities would be endless. Thanos accepts.
Knowing that Thanos couldn't resist such an offer, The Grandmaster has already commissioned his fellow Elder, The Collector, to gather 3 individuals to hold in stasis. For raw strength, they have The Hulk. Mystical might and preparation is present in the form of Earth's Socerer Supreme, Dr. Strange. And for for raw H2H fighting skill and prep ability, Batman.
The Grandmaster concentrates mightily, drawing upon The Power Primordial. An instant later, the 3 are merged as one, with all of the abilities, experience, artifacts, and equipment of each at his disposal.
Each has one week to prepare...who wins and how?

Hmmm. Strange has said that the Titan is more powerful. I'm assuming his powerlevel is what we're looking at here.
Batman is by no means near Thanos' intelligence. Even combined with Dr. Strange, it's still not enough.
Hulk's strength really wasn't enough to come close either.
The most important thing in the first post on this thread is "given one week to prepare" That gives Strange enough time to gather all of his crazy artifacts and Batman time enough to be....well.....Batman. Thanos is immensly powerful and a top notch cosmic power, but even given the time to think about it he also has his own internal "I have to mess up" issues. The difference maker is the Hulk. It has been said that his strength has no limits, and anyone who has seen or read anything with the Maestro in it knows that is a true statement. With Thanos locked in battle with the Hulk encased in some forcefield provided by Strange (Much like the X-Man/Hulk vs. Thanos story) Batman comes up with some sort of gadget (I F'n hate Batman by the way, he is such a dumb character) to make the final blow!
You'r forgetting the final part of the original post:
"The Grandmaster concentrates mightily, drawing upon The Power Primordial. An instant later, the 3 are merged as one, with all of the abilities, experience, artifacts, and equipment of each at his disposal."
These guys are no longer 3 seperate beings, so they can't each attack him seperately. The new, merged being posesses the combined attributes of each.
And yes, both Strange and Thanos have access to their respective artifacts. The only exceptions are no vehicles or robots. So no Batplane, no Sanctuary II for Thanos, no hoverchair or robot servants.

Also, Thanos has long since purged himself of the subconcious "I have to mess up" issues.

No, Thanos doe not have the Gauntlett. After his one week of prep, he comes to the battlefield with whatever he would normally have on him during a physical confrontation.
The amalgam of Strange, Bats and Hulk also have whatever they woul;d normally carry on them. For instance, since Batman always has his utility belt they obviously have that on. They (it) would also probably have The eye of Agamotto and The Crimson Bands of Cytorrak as well.
Battle takes place on the barren surface of an earth-like moon.

So, if Dr. Strange had Batman's fighting ability, one week prep and Hulk's strength, The Mad Titan still gives him the pimp hand?
