And Reed would be unable to create something that could kill Batman?
I love DC and Marvel. I am a Genius. Comic Books are my world.
Facts.
Batman stories are written to project him as clever, resourceful and brilliant. Lex Luther in DC is the Genius, who isn't always as clever but makes up for it with brilliance and resourcefulness. It has already been written in DC many times when Luther was an anti-hero working alongside Batman and others on a common cause because a bigger jeopardy way looming. Luther was chosen specifically to solve a problem which require genius but under the wit of batman who figured out the weakness at hand which a Luther solution may prove useful.
Reed Richards Mr. Fantastic is also a Genius, as written in Marvel Comics. However, he has been written to use wit and clever tactics to out maneuver other geniuses and villains.
There is a comic, a Marvel Comic which show Reed as a villain and he destroyed the Universe; he was considered the most dangerous being in the Multiverse by beings beyond Galactus, the Living Tribunal and Thanos to name a few. In DC Batman was considered by Superman to be the most dangerous man on Earth. Both Batman and Reed Richards were in comics where this threat of their becoming dangerous was realized. By far, Reed Richards proved to be the most dangerous and capable in comparison. Batman would not be able to gather the science that would make him a god or all knowing (similar to Thanos and the Gauntlet) ...may a few power Rings which it has been shwn he has... but not throughout the multi-verse.
Reed Richards also has a super power. He isn't able to be pierced or punctured or stay in one position. Batman is required to move as a man does. Batman can freeze him, but Reed would be prepared for that. Also he would be prepared for gas or other basic things. Batman could not prepare for the multi-verse opening and a council of a 1,000 Reeds show up.
