*sigh* I know, I know. Another Batman thread...sorta. Buy I have a legit question. Is Master Bruce the world's greatest? I've been reading some old detective comics and couldn't help but notice it's heavier on the action than say actually "detecting" shit. Personally I found Elongated Man better but that's me. Anywho, what's the consensus on the board? Is he the best? And if not who is?

Bruce has nothing on the Question.

Also, the best detective is of course Detective Conan.

Going by a thread from when i first got here, he's the best comics wide.
The OP question then was, who was Marvel's best, and it was pretty clear whoever it was, would be a distant second.

Now, is that jus by rep? I dont personally think so.

No not rep. Just actual feats

Detective Chimp.

Tim Drake, for being smarter than everyone else in the DCU and actually figuring its Bruce.

Batman isn't the world's greatest anything. Other than being a hypocritical dick.

His skulls are overshadowed by the fact that his h2h sucks

Superman 10/10

^lol

and yeah, i'd say bruce. thing is, he doesn't always solve 'mysteries' per se, but when they do arise, and he does need to figure things out, he always does (of course, like the others mentioned here) but i think he has a wider skill set than any of the others and is at least as smart. if there was a mystery to crack, batman would be my top pick to solve it. there was a cross over he had with sherlock holmes once upon a time. it was actually pretty cool. seeing bats focus more on the 'detective' part of his title would be a nice shift in focus i think. it's a good thread in that it gets you thinking about him a little differently than you normally might.

Hmmm...I want to say Batman is overrated. And not in the sense of fanboyism but more due to oversaturation. He's a great detective but Bruce has billions, an elaborate cave, a network of allies, top of the line tech etc...

I was hoping to shed light on detectives like Chimp, the Shadow, Madrox, a few lesser knowns like Doc Savage & Dick Tracy plus the ones people forget are detectives like the Question, Flash and Riddler

Blue Beetle Ted, too!!!

Flash isn't REALLY as much a detective as Batman, though.

Riddler actually used to help Batman with his cases, funnily enough.

He's second only to Gargan the Great

How is this even a question? He needed the mobius chair to figure out who it was that killed his parents.

Spider Jerusalem.

I like how they portrayed his detective skills in The Batman cartoon. "I found a condom on the crime scene. This type of condoms can only be found in one place in Gotham. Let's go".

Batman still fights crime?

I thought he was only ever getting involved in personal issues anymore?!

I love how playing that card means you not only lose all your strength, but the aura extends to your opponent as well, making them lose strength as well.

The Question
Spiderman
Nick Fury
Punisher

But they all pale in comparison to one man:

I never got that. Wouldn't the Captain Britain or Nova Corps have been better to suborn than the Thor's?
