understanding Ray's equation is something Lex or Bruce can't do? cmon you're underestimating both of them here. They both have too many impressive prep feats
Not Bruce. Maybe Lex. I remember Bruce called in Palmer because he needed his expertise. Tim basically bettered it. Bruce has already admitted that Tim is smarter, and one of the most analytic minds he's ever worked for.
Superman's intelligence varies wildly by portrayal, but he often ends up on this list--sometimes ranked highly. At other times, Steel has to explain basic physics to him.
Luthor is back in the top 3, at least. Phucken impressive. Reconstructing impossible tech from the future (millions of years ago), tinkering with a Mother Box, traveling through Hypertime? Yeah, Pre-Crisis levels.

Also, saying he's a 6th level intelligence doesn't mean a whole lot. Even Brainiacs have often referred to Lex as a lesser intelligence in the past as well, until the moment Lex plays his hand and outsmarts him. Which has happened several times.

2. Tim is a specialist Batman isn't. It's like comparing a Sprinter to someone who's a Decathlon. Of course the Sprinter will beat the Decathlon time in the 100 meter sprint nut that soesn't mean the Sprinter is a better athlete it just means in his field he's better. Int he same manner Tony is the best at Robotics but that doesn't mean Mr Fantastic isn't overall smarter. Tim has said all the other Robins are better than him in HTH & like Batman that are generalist, it implies Tim is more slective in his field.
3. What you're stating is opinion not facts. Batman has reverse engineered Kryptonian and NG tech which are beyond anything Tim has come up with. LL has thought off concepts that Tim can't even image. Finally someone from the future is almost always going to have tech superior to modern day that not saying much. Personal Computers, IPhones and Laptop were SF to someone from the 80's. Color TV were SF for someone from the 40,50 & early 60. Microwave Ovens were SF for someone from the 70's. These are just a couple examples on top of my head if I did some research a could probably come up with at least a few dozen more examples.
Yet, Batman said Tim is smarter, so it's not opinion, it's fact. The fact that Tim (current) suprised the likes of Mr. Oz is beyond anything Batman has done, IMO.
