Any Live-Action Characters Smarter Than Batman?

Rules

-Character must've appeared in a live action CBM or TV show.

-Batman is Pre 52/N52

-Feats for Batman must be canon to Pre-52/N52

-Characters are not limited to MCU or DCEU (Solo DC films, CWverse characters, etc.)

-Batman is Bruce Wayne

No.

I don´t think so

Do you mean live-action comic book characters?

Adam West Batman.

Fox Reed Richards maybe?

Besides MCU Iron man i don't even know who else is in the running.

@normanbates: Would you say he is the only one?@jumpstart55: Do you think Tony surpasses him? @lubub55: Yeah

Doctor Who but idk if that is a CBS show or The mask

@batman3000: I dont know aobut smarter per say but hes certainly in the conversation..An argument could be made about him being smarter in terms of science specifically the fields of physics, robotics and engineering...Especially considering with how he created the Mark 1 in a cave with a box of scraps...It would be like someone building a tablet or smart phone in their garage with noting but electronic junk.

@jumpstart55: See your point there.

Hopefully Thanos

Quite a few, actually.

@batman3000: Oh yeah, and MCU Tony Stark.

@normanbates: Cool :) @depinhom: Like who?

@batman3000: Probably Dr. Manhattan.

@depinhom: Gotcha. What about Ozymandius?

No.

@depinhom: Anyone else?

MCU Stark is the only one who's relatively close.

Not sure. Reed Richards (2005/2007) possibly.

MCU Selvig.

@depinhom: Cool :)

MCU Tony Stark and FOX Reed Richards

Didn't Raimi Doc Ock build a sun or some sh!t? That's gotta count for something.

In terms of strategy/tactics, I don't think that there is anybody.

In sheer deductive abilities, BBC Sherlock is superior in my opinion.

In terms of scientific ability, MCU Tony Stark comes to mind, in a single morning, with no prior knowledge, he wrote an algorithm on a handkerchief (while hungover) that subsequently dictated an entire company's research on Extremis for the next 12 years and then created a cure for it like it was nothing at the end of IM 3.

MCU Bruce Banner is generally treated as Tony's intellectual peer and is his superior in fields concerning radiation, biochemistry and bioorganics and is also the primary creator of Vision.

Fox Magneto is also quite formidable in my opinion, the way he studied the Sentinel technology in a single night and was able to gain a comprehensive enough understanding of it that hw was be able to manipulate it via lining it with metal is quite phenomenal.

No, Bruce is the full package.

How do people seriously think noone? I mean Fox Richards invented a transdimentional teleporter when he was 10.Doc Ock created a sun. MCU Stark for obvious reasons. MCU Banner is smarter in pure science. MCU Selvig invented the things in Thor 2. Raimi Norman Osborn nearly cured cancer. ASM Connors invented a toxin that would turn everyone in the city into super strong intelligent Lizards with healing factors. MCU Ultron was most likely smarter than Stark.

But yeah, there's plenty of live action geniuses smarter than Bruce.

I'll get a post up for Bruce feats soon.

Which version of Batman? Nolan? DCCU? Animated? Comic? Each have showed deifferent degrees of intelligence.

Also this:

Batman's not even close to the smartest.

Mac-Guyver, Eddie Moora from Limitless, John Nash from a Beautiful Mind, Hannibal Lecter, Sheldon Cooper, House MD, depends how you are measuring smartness.

T.Maguire versions of Spidey and Andrew Garfield Spidey versions were also smarter. Maybe Dr. Curt Connors from Amazing Spidey was also smarter than B.Wayne? Maybe live action versions of Kingpin too? Smallville's Lex Luthor? some other film versions of Lex Luthor? Galactus from Rise Of The Silver Surfer? (sure he didn't say anything but we can assume that an alien being that has a herald and eats planets would be more smarter than a human like B.Wayne) Dr. Doom from F4 films? Professor X from X-Men films? Magneto from X-Men films? Dr. Hank McCoy from X-Men films?

Oops just realized that the character should've appeared on a TV show or live action CBM. What is CBM? so for TV show, perhaps live TV version of Kingpin and Smallville's Lex Luthor.

Btw DevilFruit 2 posts above me is spot on.

@arranvid:

What is CBM

Comic Book Movie

@batman3000: Thanks for telling me what CBM means :-)
