    Both have pretty much Genius level intellect 

     

    If you mean who is the quicker learner than Diana has Bruce beat pretty easily. She can learn languages and advanced concepts in a matter of hours
     

    If you mean who is the most creative with knowledge than Bruce has Diana beat.

    Hard to answer, because intelligence has so many facets.  She is definitely wiser than he is.

    She has a bigger CPU, but Wayne is a lot more cunning and talented in unorthodox thinking.

    Gonna have to go with no. Bruce is a genius on several levels. WDW talked about her being able to learn and understand languages and advanced concepts quickly which is certainly a mark of intelligence but Bruce is just smarter all around. I have yet to see Wonder Woman hack an alien computer or something of that caliber.

    I don't think Wonder Woman is smarter than Bruce but I also don't think Bruce is smarter than Diana.... I don't think there is anyway to tell who is smarter. I can list 100 things Wonder Woman can do better and 100 things Batman could do better.
     
    Wonder Woman would have no interest in hacking any computer and therefore would have no knowledge of it.... Bruce is experienced  with computers and interested in them which makes him better.
     
    One thing I know is that Bruce is more creative with information than any superhero based on feats.... but that in itself is not intelligence.  Bruce also relies on a great deal of outside information from oracle other gadgets and his Bat computer.
     
    I think the right answer is... it depends

    I still have to go with Bruce just because he's shown an ability to outsmart some of the most intelligent people on the planet...or off of it for that matter. I agree that we could each continue citing example after example but from what I can tell, overall Bruce seems to be more intelligent.

    I am in no way trying to change your mind. Bruce will always be shown to be more intelligent because without it he is basically just a guy in a costume... if you are basing it on feats then yes you have more evidence of Bruce intelligence. But there is really no evidence that he is smarter or more intelligent than Wonder Woman since none of us really know what intelligence is both would score off the scale on any IQ test
     
    Anyway we could spend all day going back and fourth....So I guess further communication is pointless.

    @WDW: well I of course cannot definitely prove that Bruce is smarter but I feel given the continued character trait of being more intelligent than anyone around him would tip the scale in his favor.

    I don't really know but I don't think she is. I am willing to change my mind if someone can give good evidence to show that she is smarter but I haven't seen anything to prove she's smarter.

     Comparing Diana's Wisdom to Batman's intelligence is like asking if Albert Einstein is smarter than Socrates.... and vice versa. How can anyone really say who is smarter?  since we don't know what being smart really is yet.

    They both are smart in different way, i do prefer WW intellect cause she's less manipulative and doesn't have that ''i'm the best so do as i told you and shut it'' and she doesn't walk around telling ''hey this is my city so i'm gonna beat the crap out of you'' like Bat. He's nice but there we can't compare them. She's got the wisdom from Athena training, learning from amazon sages, Batman mostly consist of training and vengeance.

     Doesn't prove at all she's smarter but the arc is good we can see WW and Bat fighting for what they believe, and i admit i was glad to see him like that then he can realize that he is not god .extract from Hiketeia.

    Not many people in the DCU are smarter than Bruce Wayne. And nobody in the DCU can plan ahead for every contingency like he does.

    Wonder Woman certainly is a very smart character, that's always been a huge part of her appeal for me (and my main gripe with her current incarnation, that's barely a notch above clueless, impulsive teenager). Smarter than Batman, though? I don't think so.

    Personally, I've always considered that Bruce's intellect was his super-power.

    I would have to agree with the "it depends" way of thinking.  
     
    That said, I think Batman will almost always get the edge here,  just because his intellect is the basis of who his character is.  
     
    Wonder Woman, however, is an Amazon; the best of them even. The Amazons are said to be leaps and bounds ahead in most facets of science,  scholastics and martial skill. All of this, which they've been taught since their inception and Wonder Woman since birth. She is definitely no slouch in matters of the mind. She was born with the wisdom of Athena. I know wisdom does not equate to intelligence, but I feel it greatly supplements it. 
     
    So to conclude my opinion.  
     
    Batman will almost always win in a discussion like this, but in my own opinion Wonder Woman gives him a run for his vast amounts of money.  
     
    In the end, it just depends on the situation

    Wonder Woman has more wisdom. She also likely has more... classical knowledge, whereas Batman is street smart and unorthodox. It's not comparable.

    Technically it is a core power. Wisdom of Athena....and like I basically stated, it isn't so prevalent on the battlefield which is the setting of most comic books. On a battlefield of some sort.

    She should be smarter, so should a lot of other characters, but DC loves Batman so much they'll never let anyone outsmart him.

    In the modern sense, Bruce is probably more intelligent. But when it comes to war, wisdom, learning, that goes to Diana.

    No. I believe they are both extremely intelligent but in different ways. There are multiple types of intellect and really there is no "right way" to be intelligent, so they are all as important as the other. Honestly its like comparing apples to oranges.

    No. I'd put her ahead with wisdom because of Athena and other stuff but not overall intelligence. I'm talking pre 52 also.

    The wisdom of Athena makes about as much of a difference to Wonder Woman as the wisdom of Solomon does for Captain Marvel.
