Batman vs. Reed Richards

How is that arguable?

Come on SM... Everyone knows that Reed is a mental midget.

Reed

Batman wins. He has plans to take out most of the core powerful Justice League members. Bruce carries Liquid-Hydrogen capsules, electrical/taser devices, various arrays of different gas pellets, foam pellets(Clayface), and possibly the potion that Erik-Lensherr pointed out. His training heavily involves agility, dodging, and evading. I can't see Reed getting a hold of Bruce and even if he does the Batsuit's defence mechanisms will kick in. It has a high(exact number escapes me) shock voltage on it if anyone comes into contact with it. **** Bats probably has some acid in his belt. I say Bruce takes 7/10 if not more.

Batman. Look, Reed is hard to take down (by a non-powered human) due to the nature of his power. Kung-fu a glob of silly putty all day, but you're not going to hurt it. But what can Reed do to Batman? I think the second Reed closes with him, Bats whips out acid capsules, or gas, or sonics... and down goes stretchy (Batmans familiarity with such an opponent gives him quite an edge).
Now give Reed a piece of string, a screwdriver, and a Easy Bake oven, and he could build a time machine or something to beat the Bat, but that's not the case now, is it?

Batman wins, his gear is just too versatile and powerful.

Pretty much, Reed's not the world's best fighter. I doubt he can plan as great on his feet in a fight like Batman.

Didn't Batman just own Plastic Man? He basically is a super Reed.

He may be more intelligent then Bruce but he isn't smarter if you know what i mean 😉. I think Elongated Man would outsmart Reed too 😛.

Yea...you don't know what smarter means.

He means that Reed has a complete lack of common sense.

Examples.

Sry for my bad english. I will try to explain it to you. Reed is a Genius, a Nerd, he can craft a lot of things he learnd even more, his intellect is focused on science. Batman is cunning, thinks more strategic and can outsmart people like Reed. I could explain it better in german but i hope you get now what i mean. Reed may be an genius but he is also an idiot.

It comes with the territory of being absolutely brilliant. Reed is book smart. In many cases, he's shown a complete lack of common sense.

Essentially, he's so smart that he's dumb.

Reed is a super-genius when it comes to Science and Mathematics. Wayne is more of all-round know it all type guy. His smarts centers around Detective work, Forensics, Martial Arts, Stealth, and Criminal Phsycology.

"Lets clone Thor. It'll be easy and nothing can go wrong."

"I've called you here because it would take me weeks to reach your level of expertize in this field." - He actually said that to Pym

Reed's a bit oblivious. He actually has some traits of high functioning autism.

Plus, when it comes to finishing a scientific challenge, he completely neglects his family which has put Reed and Sue's marriage in trouble.

Aspergers. 👆

Let me make protocols that can be used against the JLA, what could go wrong?

Let me build Brother Eye, what could go wrong?.

"Let's piss off the Hulk. What could go wrong?"

The WWH storyline. That's what could go wrong.
