Over the course of 80 or so years Darth Sidious bought about the end of both the Republic AND the Jedi Order, both which had stood for THOUSANDS of years...
Thanos is the top dog.Outsmarting Mephisto means you are more keen and intelligent than someone who's around from, what, thousands of millennia?Million years?
Dr. Doom and Lex Luthor are on the same ranking, both them humans who used their intelligence, money and tech to be planetary threats.
Despite Luthor being more a mastermind and avoid direct contact with the target, he's still a one man army.Fighting LL is like facing a freaking nation, same for Doom, who's a ruler of a whole nation, and he's also a threat for cosmic beings when he has prep on his side.
Batman, well, I like him not for extensive prep and great tactics he can pull out, but for his being a great escapologist and his skill into risolving deadly situations in few minutes.
He survived the assault of the white martians, figured out who they were, while none of the JLA members even tought about it, not even GL who got a power ring which contains many informations.
And then what he does?
Does Bats go recruiting some of Earth heroes to free the JLA?
No, he does it all by himself.He enter in the WM fortress, destroy the drones, beat the crap outta 4 of them, gaving time to Supes and the rest of the JLA to broke free.
Man, you gotta love reading Protex claiming:
Batman?He's just a man, what can he do alone?
Meanwhile Supes was smiling like: You're gonna get your ass beaten!
