Wow, I've never heard that phrase before.
Still, elaborate on to who these enemies Batman created are and how they are somehow on the same level as, or greater, than Doom.
I'm not obligated to prove your assertions.
Which cosmic entities? Darkseid is all you've got? Because Doom's went over numerous entities/beings on Darkseid's level and beyond.
level of what?
Darkseid's mere presence was destroying 52 universes. He's singlehandly created machines that disrupted The source. He's manipulated events throughout time and space in seven Soldiers. He manipulated Orion into becoming his heir.
Batman demonstrated the ability to infiltrate his forces and take down his apparatus of control in Rock of Ages. Sure he died but it was always a suicide mission in order to get the Leaguers to the past.
He also outwitted super-genuises Makkari and simiyan and helped merk Darkseid in Final Crisis.
And you want me to make a list of Doom's prep feats which utterly shit on Batman's? Okay.-Stole the Beyonder's power
Not impressive as prep. He was getting merked by Beyonder and out willed him. not a prep feat.
-Stole Scarlet Witch's power
citation?
Batman has proven able to cancel out Circe's magick.
-Stole the Power Cosmic (from both Surfer and Galactus)
IIRC he tricked a naïve ignorant individual in the surfer,. this is pre-Norrin Radd originally.
-Invaded Wakanda and stole its Vibranium
First genuinely impressive instance so far. Of course, this was one-sided Prep.
Batman beat Darkseid's Omega Sanction by going across the timesline and restoring his own archetypal legend.
-Obtained an alternate universe Infinity Gauntlet (after surviving Mad Celestials)
Hickman's run, correct?
IIRC, this was due to future Franklin and Valeria's machinations.
-Outwitted the Marquis of Doom
Marquis of Doom intellect showings?
-Stole the Destroyer Armor and siphoned Asgardian life force to power it
So how does this apply to Batman?
Those are just a few of the more memorable ones. And you're deluded if you think Batman strategizes circles around Doom when the best minds of the Marvel Universe are regularly stumped by Doom and only just barely manage to thwart his plans (and in many cases, not even completely).
Most of them don't touch Batman strategically either. Iron Man and Panther come the closest.
Batman can barely manage to keep up with the likes of Joker and Ra's al Ghul on a regular basis and Doom is so far beyond both it's not even funny.
Believe or not, Joker when serious is Doom level, and can match most Doom feats you've cited so far in Last Laugh and Emperor Joker alone. It's not his average but he can get up there.
Lex Luthor chumped the Legion of Superheroes singlehandedly, obtained the power of Gods/cosmic beings. Batman consistently outwitted him as well, whether in No Man's Land,
Batman is the king of ninja Stealth in comics. He's stolen tech from Mr. Terrific and New Gods. Punisher has proven able to penetrate Doom's defenses in Latveria. Nothing stopping Bats from infiltrating Dooms fortresses and stealing his tech plans.
