Originally posted by RobtardYes it is a negative. The reason Batman and Dr Doom(Among others, these just being my two favorite examples) outsmart god like beings and even the gods themselves in comics is because they are literally smarter than the gods or god like beings. Dr Manhattan never showed a brilliant thought or action in anything he ever did. He was a powerful joke. He's the stereotype of Superman as an overpowered idiot personified. Sure, he is good at specific fields, but he is incredibly naive. I'm being hard on Jon here, but I'm doing so to prove that it wasn't difficult for Adrian to trick him.
God-like doesn't mean "God", him being outsmarted despite his near omnipotence isn't a negative to Dr. Manhattan, it's a plus to Ozymandias' abilities.And Dr. Manhattan would outsmart and destroy all of Batman's villains, all at the same time too. Another plus to Ozymandias gaining one over on Dr. Manhattan.
You keep bringing up this nonsense like it's one-sided. Would Ozymandias not profile Wayne in the same manner? He would and he would out-class him here too, as he's far smarter, so he'd out-prep Wayne.
You have no valid argument and every single point you've brought up has been obliterated by movie feats; you can't prove that Wayne has a single ability over Veidt, be it speed, strength, fighting prowess, wealth or intelligence. So just stop the nonsense.
Edit: I see you've now concede that Batman is not even on par with Ozy in H2H, so you've changed tactics to "he'd never find Batman." Which can easily be countered by the fact that Raj Al Ghul used his influence to uncover that Wayne was Batman, Raj has nothing on Veidt's abilities and resources. Hell, that weasely accountant discovered that Wayne was Batman.
That's not the fight proposed, and I agree with you. Dr Manhattan potentially could beat anyone not intangible.
Movie feats. Wayne has shown consider skills in areas Adrian never did. He has shown to be prepared in every fight he goes into. He has been shown to have a mind near to or equaling Ozymandias(In my opinion surpassing Ozymandia).
