Batman is a master detective, probably the best in the world with an IQ of over 200 and with great knowledge in key fields of interest such as ballistics, criminal pshycology, chemistry, toxicology and various forensic sciences. Batman is fluent in half a dozen languages and has studied many more. While having great concentrations of knowledge in areas important to Batman's existance he also has a wide field of general knowledge.
This is from Batman's biography, just so ya guys know.

Man he can get anally violated by the freaking New Warriors now. The man beat the crap out of Namor without getting his ass kicked on one part of the panel. Win or lose, the mans a badass. Besides, it shows that if you piss Reed off, he WILL beat your ass.
wow thats impressive...I love how DC fans use the motherbox as a end all to every conflict. Having a motherbox doesnt make him anywhere near as intelligent or effective as Reed. Reed might as well figure a way to negate the device on the spot. When Richards needs to solve a problem he does ridiculously fast and efficiently. When Terminus first landed on Earth Reed figured out a way to plung him into the center of the Earth with a few spare parts of the Fantasticar in two or three pages!!! Terminus almost beat the JLA by himself! When an army of evil THINGS started growing out of Ben Grimm's skin and threatened to destroy civilization, Reed temporarily teleported them to an abonded Shi'ar planet then got on a interdimensional virtual forum with thousands of Reed Richards in the multiverse...some of them were even connected to hive intelligences like Quasimodo, Manticora, and the Supreme intelligence, and then he solved the problem. Batman's a bad ass but he isnt on the same level as Reed.

But then the only thing Reed could figure out to get rid of the Hulk was shoot him up into outer space.
alright...
this is how i see it
Prep:
Mr Fantastic knows the basics about Bats, does a little bit of research, then locks himself in a lab and comes up with some new form of quantum de-materializer that will make all the strings in the sub quantum structure of batmans body unravel and remove batman from the universe permenantly. Agreed: Batman could never even understand the physics behind this device, let alone create something of its calliber
Batman however is a detective. He has information networds and even satelites to monitor superhuman activity. He would study the hell out of Mr. Fantastic, and the first things he would realize? HE IS COMPLEATLY OUTCLASSED, both technically and physically. So, he would probably learn very quickly that Reed ALWAYS makes amazing scientific inventions to defeat opponents, and would therefore attempt to counter this strategy. This is Batman's strategitic int vs Reeds scientific int.
So, to be honest, I think its a 50/50 split. Batman could come up with soem type of BFR or Containment device (seeing as he would know not to try and fight directly with reed or his inventions) but reed will also have his quantum scrambler
think of it as one of those "quickest draws in the west" kinda deals 🙂
Both are incredible smart. However, both are experts in their proper fields. Mr Fantastic is an inventor scientist. Batman is a Forensice scientist. Reed maybe be good with discovering a new formula and stuff. But Batman would pwned Reed in a Criminal Forensic case.
As for fighting abilities....Batman has taken on ClayFace and has defeated him over and over again. Clayface can shift his body and can manipulate it anyway he wants. That's practically how Reed Richards fights. Shaping his body to create a weapon...big deal...Batman would win. Not easy fight....thought..
