Batman vs Black Panther(who is smarter)

Lex has been stated a few times to be smartest man on the planet across multiple comics (usually in comparison to Superman, who's oftencited as being the strongest/most powerful being on the planet).

Yes, usually that's been him saying that about himself, and given the size of his ego I wouldn't trust that statement like I would Terrific stating he's #3. That said, I do believe Lex is #1 and perhaps the most intelligent person in comics when you look at the full range of capabilities. He's not just a tech genius, but also a political genius, a medical genius, etc.

It's been stated through narrative panels and other characters as well (though Lex certainly would say he's number one).

Dont see how Terrific is third tbh 😬

Abhi, quick question.

Was it stated that Lex and Bruce are 1 & 2 or are you assuming? The only rank I've ever seen is Terrific @ 3, never seen anyone else ranked.

I'm still waiting for abhilegend to prove to me that Batman is smarter than Superman when it comes to overall raw intelligence...

Batman being smarter than Superman, would mean Batmans brain is basically a supercomputer.

Batman takes this imo. All the specific profiling of "types of intelligence" just murk things up if you ask me. He's a "I find out whatever tf I need to in order to overcome any circumstance" type of intelligent . I mean really who in comics pulls out a trump card(plot device) against anyone and everyone on such a regular basis?.....I'll wait.

So has batman, I'm more impressed with Batman blocking Silver Banshee's scream and redirecting it back at her on the spot than Panther taking away Typhoid Mary's powers.

They have been stated to be smarter than him in a checkmate issue. Like I said though, I don't have the issue at hand now.

So....... you're no impressed that Panther redirected Storm's lightning bolts and then completely neutralized her powers by using a mixture of nature and nanotechnology against her?

That Terrific is the third smartest being on earth and Lex and Bruce are smarter than him? I dunno, read some JSA comics and find out for yourself.
Pretty sure Cogito made it up too, right?

The only time I can think of there being a ranking, was from Carl Draper - and in his opinion (IIRC) Luthor and Wayne were mere geniuses, and were nowhere near Holt.

IIRC.

According to the DC Universe Infinite Heroes stats as far as intelligence rankings go:

Batman: 85
Lex Luthor:80
Ray Palmer: 75

Yea. I figured you just remembered it wrong and it was stated that Terrific was #3.

Originally posted by abhilegend
Nope, that was on some fan website of Terrific.
You figured out wrong as usual.

Terrific was most recently referred to himself as #3 in Mr. Terrific #1 (DCnU) IIRC.

I can post scans later if needed.
