So true

Bah, a stretchy man can't be that hard to find. Batman employs his plastic man countermeasure.

MrHeavySilence
Mister Freeze or Scarecrow could give him a fight. I actually think they'd do really well if they switched places.

DarkCrawler
Batman in FF wouldn't really do that well, though.

"Quick, Bruce, you must find the equation to open the extradimensional gate to Negative dimension and warp us through it so Thing can breathe again!"

"...what?!"

Arahan
Reed would do shit, i mean he supposed one of the most smartest men in marvel, and there is still crime in the world. he could make a anti evil device or something shifty

ThePittman
Reed without his gadgets or weapons is just a punk and anyone of the baddies would take him out. Granted Reed is uber smart but Bats is the supreme detective and would find him in a heart beat.

Wow you underestimate Reed so much What the f**k?

Reed is indestructable.

He is smarter, stronger and debatably faster than Batman.

How is he a punk!?!?

Are you serious? Reed without his gadgets and weapons is still a genious who makes Batman look like a retarded, one legged seventy year old guy who has just awaken from coma. This is a man who made his father, who is a scientist who invented a time travel machine stand in awe when Reed solved a complex mathematical equation he had been wondering. And Reed was about EIGHT YEARS OLD THEN. And he still has his powers which enable him to go hurt guys like Namor...

Reed would pwn Batman left and right when it comes to scientific accomplishments, and he would pwn him up and down if it would come to battle. Prep time or not.

Yep wink

Seriously, Reed is VERY underestimated by everyone.

He's Doom's rival for a reason people big grin

Reed hangs with guys like Namor, Bats cant handle that cool

golem370
What could Batman without prep and his villians do against MF

ThePittman

DarkCrawler
Reed has led Fantastic Four for years. He's gone against interdimensional conquers, beings with cosmic powers, godlike beings and REAL gods, Galactus...and they are still alive this day, and even though Thing died once, Reed went to heaven, literally, and got him back. Tactically, Reed has led his team through things that Batman can't even dream of.

I don't see few gangsters and lunatics with mild superhuman powers and resources give him any problems. Reed Richards still has his unrivaled mind, and it can be used to do another things then just invent gadgets.

As for guys like Bane...Reed coud face him in combat and prevail with ease. His punches have hurt Namor...they would easily knock out Bane. He is able to increase his bodymass or transfer it to one point and make his punches more powerful that way.

I really need to make a Reed respect thread. Most people don't know that he is one of the most foremost masters of Judo either.

ThePittman

MrHeavySilence
I think you guys are downplaying Batman and overhyping Reed. Batman would have no trouble fitting in the Marvel Universe. If he WAS in the Marvel Universe, he'd have contigency plans for almost everyone on 616.

"Quick, Bruce, you must find the equation to open the extradimensional gate to Negative dimension and warp us through it so Thing can breathe again!"

*Batman gives Thing a rebreather*

Batman: Now let's motherbox our way out of here.

FF with Batman (To Nihil): You're a whore if you mess with the Fantastic Four!

And sure, Reeds is great, but Bruce can do THIS:

http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s1473208.htm

kidding.

Plus, Reeds isn't a detective. He'd be doing some pointless mathematical equation to try to predict what all the villains will do, but they're too insane for that. He'd be constantly too late to stop murders left and right. And he'd suck at blending in too. He's not good enough to hide like Bruce, and once people start seeing his bright blue costume, he'd attract attention, and then the criminals will start figuring out his weaknesses. Energy Weapons. Cold Temperatures (which messes up his elasticity). Also, he's more dependant on a team, whilst Batman usually takes on the "One Man War On Crime" ideology. Alone, Reed is not likely to take on Gods, Demigods, or any super being. He'd be out of his element in Gotham.

What would Batman do if all their equimpment would be destroyed and he actually would have to made a teleporter himself out of alien technology he has never encountered before? Or when he would need to face Terminus or some other interdimensional god in battle and find a way to defeat them in half a minute?

Pray?

It's Batman who is WAY above his level here.

Not half of Batman's villains are insane enough for Reed not to understand them, and even those who are can be understood by him. Reed has predicted what aliens or magical creatures that aren't even from this world would do, insane minds won't be a problem, since understanding the workings of mind is one of his fields too. And can't blend in? He can mimic his appearence and face to disguise as another person, creature or inanimate object if he wishes so. Reed has defeated enemies without his teammates. And he is 99% of the time the guy who finds a way to defeat them also. Reed does not need his team...they can't work really without Reed.

And Batman's villains would not just figure out that he is weak to those things...I doubt that an universal genius would just run at a guy named "Mr.Freeze".

Also, Reed has been taking Ben's punches for years now and Ben is a hell of a lot stronger than any of Batman's villans wink

Please, Reed can't even grasp the concept of magic. Sure, he could logically predict what aliens or magical creatures might do, but none of them were insane. Batman's villains are more illogical than anything Reed's dealt with.

His costume is freakin blue. Blue vase. Blue floor. Blue creature. Yeah, I'm sure he'd make a great detective.

Let's see. It took roughly thirty minutes for Dr.Strange to teach Reed to use magical objects and incantations to get him in level where he could go toe to toe with Doctor Doom in magical combat...

Alright, Darkcrawler has the better argument.

But I just want to say that you are undermining Batman's intelligence. Just because he doesn't apply himself to science as well as Reeds doesn't mean Reed is smarter than him. Batman has a much larger range of masteries.

It can't be proven that Reeds is smarter than Bruce, only that what he says happens to be more verbose, pretentious, and vague in that it uses scientific doubletalk. So from now on I think if anybody says that Reed is infinitely smarter than Bruce, I'll just start debating with them.

I can speak Australian too... i.e. English. You probably mean the language of Australian Aborigines in which case there are like a hundred dialects...

How are lockpicking and martial arts skills and marksmenship measures of intelligence...

Expert criminologist yes... but (I think I've asked this before) really.. how often does he consistently exhibit expertise in genetic engineering or the legal framework or complex human anatomy.

It's arguable whether giving a character plot device gadgets or giving a character superpowers is more 'cheap'.

Reed's married to the incredibly hot and incredibly powerful Invisible Woman while Bruce spends most of his time with boy wonder...

Whereas reed's opened a stable dimensional portal wherein creatures reside which make Cluthlu look like my little pony.

Bastman's a moron compared to Reed. Yes I do understand what intelligence means. 1 a : the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations b : the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (as tests). Street smarts and book smarts are two different applications of the same thing. Each uses their intelligence in different ways.

Exactly though, they are contrasting differences. Whatever aliens he faced, think logically. Thugs don't; they're more spontaneous.

Descendant of what?

There's no such thing as cheating when you play to win.



Reeds are better.

Is that a conjecture, or do you have proof? Like Reed, Batman can deduce alien technology at a glance. Not even in continuity but: in the JLU Cartoon, Bruce hacked Chronos's belt with barely any contact with it. He probably observed it for a few seconds in part 1 and came up with a fast way to reprogram it. And I never said Reed is lesser than Batman, just that you are severely denying Bruce's intelligence , which is very high- I daresay, close to Reed on the "smartness" echelon.

DarkCrawler
Originally posted by lifeisaglich

A) Has WAY higher IQ

B) Has created things that Batman would can only dream about

C) Has accomplished stuff that Batman has wet dreams about

Batman has street smarts. But Reed is vastly more intelligent. We are talking about a man who can open a portal to REAL Heaven in a day and go save his friend's soul.

As for aforementioned liguistic skills, Batman knows Earth languages...Reed knows them, PLUS Alien languages, and other languages that Batman hasn't even heard about (Atlantean language comes first on top of my mind). Only thing Batman is better then Reed is martial arts, psychology and criminology.

Sociology? Besides having complete understanding of nearly all Earth cultures and customs, he also has understanding of Alien sociology.

Biology? Reed Richards created an device that can restore the powers of mutants and superhumans in a short time.

Chemistry? Reed is vastly better. He, for example has created an antidote that works for 11000 different poisons and injected his team with it before they went to a mission.

Astrophysics? Please. We are talking about a man who can create a device that harnesses all the power of entire other galaxy, guy who can open portal to a Negative Zone as easily as you and me open a door, fellow who visits another planets, galaxies, dimensions, etc. with no trouble...he is so much above Batman in this thing that it is not even funny.

Mechanics? Don't. Just don't even go there. Reed has a working time machine in his lab.

Law? Well Batman might know this better.

Psychology? Batman knows this better too.

Anatomy and Physiology? No way. Besides complete understanding of human, mutant and animal physiologies, Reed knows also the physiologies of countless alien species and cosmic beings.

Biotechnology? Well, besides the aforementioned antidote, Reed has also created an device that shrunks things to molecular size, so he etc. can work on diseases from that level, and nanotechnology.

Genetic Engineering? You mean besides making gloves that can take back the stolen powers of Fantastic Four, changing the genetic structure of two people in a second?

Social and Technical Sciences? Well, this goes to the sociology. Reed understands the aspects of hundreds of cultures.

I am not denying Batman's intelligence. It is just that compared to Reed's it's not much.

Sixth_Winged
Why in the world are you bringing up JLU feats?

bherrle
Before all you people (read: DarkCrawler) continue dissing Batman, I suggest you pick up some JLA comics. Seriously, you're waaaaaay underestimating Batman and his intelligence.

I'm not saying he;s smarter than Reed, but he's faced stuff that matches anything Reed's faced.

DarkCrawler
With far more powerful team, other good strategists and intelligence and technology that really isn't his.

Usually, Reed devises the strategy on fly by himself, creates entire new revolutionizing technology on the same time to defeat them, and has a team where the only member close to JLA in power is Invisible Woman...

Still his takes on similar threats then JLA. And they are still alive.

And you are right that he is not smarter then Reed. He's far from matching him too. He's intelligent. I know a lot about Batman. He is one of my favorite characters, but he just doesn't compare. The most impressive pieces of technology he has are Mother Box and Boom tube. Neither of them he has created himself. Meanwhile, Reed has inventions equal to those, only that he's created them himself.

And I don't diss Batman. What the f**k?

If I say that Hulk is stronger then Thing, do I diss Thing? It's just that in this case, in the place of strength, there is intelligence.

And Reed is Hulk. Batman is Thing.

ThePittman
In comparison their IQ is probably pretty close, going back to my other post about intelligence it is the ability to learn new things and apply or control your environment. Now granted I would have to give the higher IQ to Reed but they use their minds in different fashions.

lifeisaglich
Reed's IQ is higher but not by much

Reed has build stuff batman could not hope to dream but batman should be able to study the device in thirty minutes and design his own in another thirty minutes.

Batman only builds what he needs...if it requires batman to start thinking like reed to get his message across I have no dought he would be able to do so.

Besides there isn't much reed can do that batman would not be able to replicate.

Not to say that batman cannot build or invent his own stuff on the spot.

But if you unlock a gene in certain areas in the human genome you will be getting a Noble Piece Price. For example this guy discovered the structure of DNA, but you used the DNA data that this guy found to discover something new. You will be getting a Noble Piece Price why because you have just given a new way to look at DNA.

Hence when batman rebuild's what ever it is Reed built he would have improved on it. To make it his and no longer reed's invention.

Copying off of Reed's design doesn't make Batman nearly as intelligent as Reed, though. It just means Batman is good at copying other people.

Do you think if Batman managed to construct a time machine based off of what he saw Reed do, he'd be able to improve upon it?

Swanky-Tuna
I think the martial arts thing is overrated. Depending on which ones they are, 1 martial art can trump many. And with Reed's powers, I don't think any martial art will have much an effect on him or any move he'll have difficulty pulling off without the hinderance of bones and joints.

lifeisaglich
True but this would be no small discovery. Who ever does such a thing is getting rewarded.



Yeah.....and better for bruce.

Besided what evidence has come to possession that would suggest that would not be able to do what reed does?

Broly92
Batman has better "street smarts" while reed has better "book smarts"

lifeisaglich
Yes, reed is smarter than batman but not by lot like some people here think. If batman wanted to do things like reed he would succeed but that would just make him too over powering and I don't think that would make good comic when the character is batman or someone similar.



No improvement because what is a time machine? Its just some device that allows you to go backwards and forward in time.

Reed Wraps up all of gotham, and uses his body as a trampoline to send all of arkham into Black Adam's Country, where all of their bodies are instantly ripped apart, and blood rains down from the sky.

Look! I stole an cellphone! Now it has a coffee machine strapped on it with tape and glue!

Stealing designs and putting something little on them does not make Batman Reed's equal. Actually, it makes him worse, since he obviously could not come close to him without stealing. And even then, he hasn't invented the most difficult things by himself

Here is the lowdown:

Topic Point:

Can Reed successfully infiltrate Gotham and takeout the Bat's baddies using just himself, yes.

Can he do this without being found by Batman:
1. If Batman is going all out and Reed has no gadgets, then probably not.
2. If Batman is just attempting to track without gadgets, then probably yes.

Is Reed overall smarter than Batman, hands down yes.

Also, Reed vrs. Batman:

1. Hand to Hand: Reed
2. Both with prep: Reed

And in my own opinion, Batman is WAY WAY WAY overrated.

Batman is politically smart like a good leader of a country who would understand the world better while Reed is more of when you think of a scientist genius like when you think of Einstein

Stealing designs and putting something little on them does not make Batman Reed's equal. Actually, it makes him worse, since he obviously could not come close to him without stealing. And even then, he hasn't invented the most difficult things by himself

Reed >>>> Batman. laughing
