Sure he does but I assume that this city is new to these people and that they're aware that they are working together on this.
In that case Batman's resources > Kingpin's resources
Re: Re: Re: Neutral ground DC street vs Marvel Street
You kno what though there maybe CIS involved with Batman, sure he has better resources but the resources he uses for the street are different to what he may use in JLA.
Hood took over every drug gang in gotham in one night in under the Hood,with Blockbusters Genius-level business mind+The goddam Batman,i say they'll take it.

kingpin hires grade A assassins all the time, and taskmaster's school is a training camp for goons, together they can accomplish lots in the underworld.
In No Man's land Batman said that he had a plan, and 7 back up plans for that plan, and 7 back up plans for each of the 7 backup plans. And if you look at the plans the guy has had in the back-burner (including the ones that the Spoiler inadvertently used in the Gang Wars), that guy is a stratagem grand-master!
The Red Hood basically gave the Batman a run for his money, and was running the underworld like it was child's play.
Blockbuster took over Bludhaven like it was a joke, and up to the point he died he was giving the caped guys a run for their money.
Deadshot ....erm ...well .....uh ....maybe if there is a sharp-shooting contest....
Anyways, the main problem is that you have two uber-geniuses and one genius, and you gave them a YEAR!
Now, the Kingpin is smart, but he is no where near Batman in terms of strategy. Taskmaster is amazing, but this is not a physical fight ...it is a year-long game of gran strategy.
If i was to flip things, it is like me creating a thread where I have Doom, Reed, Forge and Stark, going against Alfred, Raven, Beastboy and Major Disaster .......in a technology invention competition!
