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 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.
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" @WDW: 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 think there are some things she knows better than the Bat, but then again we are talking about THEE BAT...
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.
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.
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.

You just described some of the many reasons why he's my favorite character.
also where is that scan from?

@AtPhantom: she gets her wisdom from The goddess Athena
Irrelevant. When has she demonstrated that wisdom?
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.

If so, why?

Hard to answer, because intelligence has so many facets. She is definitely wiser than he is.
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.
@saren: I would rely on the words from Wonder Woman before I rely on the words of a 10 year old.
