Ra's Earths Most Respected Villain has identified his Detective as the only person suitable to continue his legacy.
The Alien Predators The Most Respected Warriors In Space Have identified him as Earth's Premier Warrior, tested Batman and found him to be more than "just a man"
Bruce Wayne is a man. The skills of the Batman transform him into something more than "just a man"
This is all true as far as deduction goes and as a leader who can coordinate how other people fight and make a team effective. Batman is a "threat" to Darkseid in the sense of figuring out what's going on and having allies that can match Darkseid's power.
That is impressive but Reed Richards is just on a whole different level. This is a guy that could do that and then personally whip up some devices to be an actual direct threat. I mean, interdimensional gateways, FTL starships, mastering Galactus level tech in about a minute, etc., etc. What has Batman done to compare to that?
