Why do people think batman is prepared for everything?

Why is it impossible for people to come to the conclusion that batman is not prepared for everything. One guy I talked to even went as far as saying that if batman isn't prepared for everything then that's not batman. What are your opinions? Is he prepared for everything most of the time? Is the batman vs superman fight actually worth discussing? What do you think because I am confused.

He's prepared for everything up to superman, that he has interacted with before.

In Time and the Batman he fights Kraken and tries to damage a nerve cluster in her arm, but then once he tries he realizes that she doesn't even have a nerve cluster in her arm and admits he isn't prepared for stuff like this and gets screwed, so he definitely isn't prepared for everything, but still has a crazy amount of plans and backups for everything he's seen that could be a threat. Like the justice league.

Because he's over hyped by fans.

Batman.

Batman is pretty much prepared for everything.

Batman is prepared for everything in his respective universe. He has so many plans, he is borderline crazy. He just is. That is his character. Just like Superman has his powers. I could say, why do Superman fanboys think that Batman couldn't take him out... It works both ways.

People like his character so they want to make him stronger than he really is because that's natural. He claims he can defeat every member of the Justice league but that hasn't happened and I think he is bluffing about it tbh. He really can't kill Superman, MM, or Flash. I mean no matter how people try to spin it they are just too good unless he plans on betraying them without them expecting it.

If you read some Batman comics, then you'll have your answer.

The dude has even said that's he's reverse egineered EVERY supersuit from every villian he's encountered.

He keeps tabs on every super villian on the planet.

He's injected himself with like every known toxin, poison, and disease out there to form an immunity to it.

I'm fairly certain I remember an instance in Brave and the Bold where he kept a one-way teleported to a black hole. A. Black. Hole.

He's prepared for everything.

He's Batman.

I said it before, and i'll say it again.

Batman is overrated. If Batman got into a battle with any superhuman he would be mopped up quickly and efficiently. His stupidity is now a norm. And everyone believes with prep he's untouchable. He's not untouchable. He is a walking contradiction of the very reason he donned the cape.

Batman says he doesn’t kill people, because he doesn’t consider himself above the law. But he does break other laws. He even gathers intelligence illegally. But it is all meant for greater good. Yet sometimes he ends up creating a threat for the very people he wants to protect. Gotham is still as bad as when he first started.

WHAT'S HIS STRATEGY? WHAT'S HIS MASTER TACTICAL PLAN?

He is prepared for MOST scenarios, but he's not a god. Look at the Court of Owls for example, he definitly wasn't ready for that, eventually he overcame them, but it took time and preparation. I actually think people underestimate Batman's improvisational skills, he definitly is capable of thinking on his feet, but honestly the main thing I like about Batman is seeing him be the great Detective that he is... As for Batman vs Superman, he has a plan(obviously, he doesn't trust anyone) but he really can only win in certain situations.

He's not; he'll look useless against guy who move at light speed in the Justice League if Batman fanboys don't make up a way to make him stand toe-to-toe with them.

He's really not prepared for everything; if he was, he would be unstoppable. And, as we know, Gotham has the highest crime rate of any hero in the big 7. He is obviously not prepared for all the crime in Gotham.

Grant Morrison and Tower of Babel.

@jmarshmallow: how do you prepare for light speed characters? Are you gonna trip them?

Because he's the goddamn Batman.

He isn't.

How else are Writers going to write Batman into/against other Superpowered Beings?

Is batman prepared for flash?

Because they don't know what they're talking about.

I don't think most people believe that. I hope not anyway.

QFST!!!

Oh Nebezial the best DC artits and he isnt working with DC.

@deathpoolthet1000: Batman's contingency plan for Darkseid is a case of portable, dimly-lit stairs.

I've never really understood the whole prep time argument with batman. Hell I've read quite a few batman comics and he rarely preps for threats in Gotham. What also bugs me personally is when people say superman or any other character is overpowered, yet batman having a contingency for everything doesn't seem boring? Yes batman's a tactician but why don't we get to see his plans failing and him relying more on his wits and intelligence to get out of a situation. That seems a lot better. Otherwise it becomes like something from the silver age were a plot device is needed for him to win. It just seems silly in my eyes.

He isn't prepared to love..

Because he is the GODDAMN BATMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wrong. Mask of the Phantasm.

Batman is overrated by a handful of fanboys who think he is invincible and could beat galactus, the rest of the people have common logic. If you give batman two years prep against someone like Superman he is going to win considering he is a billionaire who owns a tech company and has access to almost anything (including kryptonite). I could think of ways in a minute, block out the sun, lace the entire city with kryptonite, lace his suit with kryptonite so he can't touch him, weaken him overtime. I know these are not great ideas, but #1. I'm not batman, a man with genius intellect. #2 I don't have a year I have 5 minutes. I'm not really saying that Batman will beat superman because i'm sure someone can debate with me defending Clark, but giving large amounts of prep to a character against someone who is not insanely powerful with full access to pretty much anything, a good amount of people on our earth could win with these conditions to be honest. I'm really tired about hearing how Batman is so overrated when the same amount underrate him. And to be honest if you don't like batman don't read it.

Simply stating an opinion, not offended.

Because batman fan boys make him even more overrated than he already is...

He's only prepared for Gotham villains and slowing down superman

see all this proves why he's so gret, he's batman, not human

clearly from these feats his brain doesnt work in the same way as other people, also if he injected every toxin/poison/disease he would be very dead, mainly since there are many that dont cave a cure, he's just immune to things that dont have an antibody

and clearly he's prepared for everything, he has never been caught off guard in the comics and not one person has ever had one thing he was unprepared for

also why his city has such low crime, cause he's always prepared and stops it right then, I mean he reverse engineered every villain suit, he could program a counteraction into every bank for every robber he can obviously do anything

Because they haven't read enough Batman comics.

@mrnoital: LOL

It's his character to be prepared for nearly everything. That's what makes him Batman.

Batman could definitely beat almost anyone with enough prep. And he's been prepping for some of the guys for years and years. Think about it, he has near unlimited money, time, access, plus vast amounts of knowledge and research. He's also a very smart guy. I'd take that over super speed, or heat vision in a battle any day. These heroes aren't invincible and I hate that people think just because someone has super strength they're immortal or can't be hurt ever. And no one is saying Batman can't lose, because he can. It's just if Batman took the fight to anyone, or wasn't surprise attacked, he would stand a very good chance of winning. I feel that other heroes rely on their physical abilities a bit too much in order to win.

@jonnythewolf:

He wasn't prepared for that bullet to the parents.

Hmmmm...

1. He prepares for a lot of stuff. It's like Captain America bouncing his shield around. It's just what Batman does. He's obsessive, rich and a genius. So, they are right when they say Batman is prepared for things. He has plans and more plans and backup plans. So it's a reputation if not always a reality at this point.
2. There are some Batfans who are not satisfied with having their hero already being (deep breath) a Bruce Lee, Sherlock Holmes and Tony Stark all wrapped up in one package. They want more! This is what separates a fan from a fanatic.

Two words: Grant Morrison.

batman is borderline insane. he prepares for every situation before it happens. he is like a doomsday prepper.

Because He's tHe goddamn Batsman!

It's like a CHuck Norris joke. It isn't true but it is fun to say. It is not a big deal. Let em Have tHeir fun. THey are entitled to be delusional.

June'sVeryOwn

Yes, and people who say he solos Living Tribunal and all the Celestials with 10 years prep have never read a Batman comic. That is what sets you aside from them.

IDK why do people think Dr. Doom is prepared for everything/is unstoppable with prep? Batman is called overrated and is underestimated by people more than he is overrated. Don't know why people are so obsessed with this topic. Oh wait yes I do it's because people love to tear down popular characters. Give Doom Batman's popularity and you'd see the same threads popping up for him.

@jack_donaghy: Naw Dooms a badass, and deserves it. Batmans a walking plot device that runs around in his Halloween costume fighting a Penguin a Scare Crow a guy with half a face with a gun for a weapon and a Homicidal Clown he won't kill.

Who's on a team full of heros that could kill him Multiple ways.. beating people who would snap him in half with a pinky buts wins cause of plot..who gets praised for beating superman with his weakness (it's like me poisoning a guy then saying I liked his ass) .. And the Guys weakness.. is weakness.

Sooo yea.. then we have Doom.

And people say Batman fanboys are delusional and annoying.
