We've seen Galactus attack Marvel Earth a number of times now, usually he's defeated by a plot device, usually a Fantastic Four-related plot device but how would DC Earth fare against the Devourer of Worlds? Galactus is well-fed (so high showings but not Eternity-level full power) and has his five greatest Heralds with him. No UN though. And to make things a bit more interesting let's give Earth reinforcements in the form of five (non-Earth based) Green Lanterns (Killowog, Katma Tui, Raker, etc.) and the full resources of Darkseid and his planet Apokolips, because he doesn't want Galactus to do what's his job . This is full powered Darkseid, not an avatar.
First Scenario: One sided prep for the DC side (let's say a week's prep)
Second Scenario: Both sides get a week's prep
Third Scenario: No prep
Galactus stomps 2 and 3, MIGHT lose 1 if Batman comes up with some miracle saving deivce, otherwise he wins all.

1- Loose
2- Galactus sadly tend to underestimate opponents. A bloodlust Galactus would win, a regular "I'm comming to eat, dudes!" will loose.
3- Galactus stomp the **** out of everyone.
1. DC side 10/10 Really PC Darkseid working with Batman for a week on a plan is overkill. They'd probably find a way to steal Galactus's power if Dr. Doom can do it.
2. Galactus rarely takes advantage of his supposed super-intelligence so I'd say even split.
3. Galactus 7/10. Really I'm sure that a full on attack with all of DC's heroes (and villains), 5 GL's, and the full might of Apokolips is going to get a few wins but for the most part it's G's victory.

Scenario 2 SHOULD be a total spite against DC Earth, given Galactus's extremely advanced technology...

Yeah, but prep doesn't nullify Galactus's inherit cosmic power.
He also has his worldship.
Now he probably wants to eat DC Earth, but if he didn't then he could just one-shot the planet the instant the fight started.

Imagine the team of mad scientists from 52 working alongside Lex Luthor, Batman, Mister Terrific, and Darkseid's scientists. That's some serious prep that shouldn't be underestimated. And any good GL would be at least able to give a Herald a fight. Even if DC Earth doesn't count the Spectre (who could probably take Galactus by himself) it still has magic heavy hitters like Doctor Fate and Zatanna.

I somewhat agree that in a straight up prep-less battle Galactus takes out all but the top-tiers with his opening attack but its not a total massacre. At least PC Darkseid lives long enough to give a short speech on his innate superiority before Galactus drops his worldship on him.

But the fact that he wants to eat Earth means that he's going to have to dial back on the planet busting blasts. Would threatening to destroy the planet out of spite discourage Galactus? Cause that's right up Darkseid's alley.

Galactus can just put everyone in stasis sift through their minds and whatnot......... like he did earths heroes during the infinity wars story.... in the middle of a fight he arrives and stopped them all including thanso and warlock
wait does this include say all heroes and villains curently stationed on earth? If so the help of darksied isn't needed, DC earth has more then enough characters with powers coming close to that of Galactcus or fully surpassing him. One must also rem DC earth has character like Spectre, Starbreaker, Eclipso, Jakeem Thunder etc.
