And yet their villains are still around causing trouble, hows that working out for them? Besides I said has any genius superhero ever built a jail that can't be escaped from. Superman is the only one of those characters who is a genius. I don't know if Tony Stark, Black Panther, Reed Richards, etc have designed jails that can't be escaped from. I might be wrong on that but I don't think any of them have ever built an inescapable jail. But why would you expect Batman to have one? Tell me what he'd be doing every issue while his villains are locked up? I'd love to hear the solution to this from the people who always ask why he doesn't have a prison people can't escape from. A better question would be why comic book geniuses don't cure diseases. Reed Richards should have been cured cancer the fact that he hasn't is more offensive than Batman not having a prison his villains can't escape from.
@titanbreaker: Writers dont go overboard with Batmans intelligence he has been building mech suits and things like teleporters for years now And Batman didnt learn how to build mecha suits capable of taking hits from superman tier characters when he was training he learnt it when he was batman.the reason why Batman doesnt build something to hold all the criminals in is because writers would have nobody to put against him. it happens to every character not just Batman.Luthor may have been called the smartest but batman has been called the most dangerous before which is probably because of his intelligence since he doesnt have any powers
Agreed.
I don't get why people say things like "If he's so smart why doesn't he build something his villains can't escape from?" How about because if he did then he'd have no villains to fight and superhero comics are kind of built on hero vs villain so... It's like saying if the Punisher is willing to kill why aren't all of his villains dead? Easy he needs villains to fight each issue. No other genius heroes have built jails their enemies can't escape from either so why should Batman be any different?
We all know the real reason I've said it a million times in the past and I'll say it again: It's because hating Batman has become the cool "in" thing to do. Same reason people will complain about Superman being overpowered but won't say the same thing about Thor, the Flash, Green Lantern, Shazam, Silver Surfer, or Martian Manhunter. Those characters are all on Superman's power level and could beat him yet they aren't called out for being OP because they aren't nearly as popular and iconic as Superman. Same situation here. Outside of comic book fans nobody gives a crap about Doom so his villain sue antics get cheered because people feel so cool and underground for supporting a character only us nerds like. Batman does the same thing and he's called OP, boring, ruining comics and blah blah blah.
And lol at the person who said it's because Batman is annoying/boring and Doom isn't. Batman was just listed number 4 on the list of most popular movie characters, the highest ranking comic book character (Joker was 6th) and is arguably the most popular superhero in the world but people find him boring If he's boring what is Doom a character who no one outside these forums even cares about? If you looked up "Generic super villain" in the dictionary Doom's pic would be there I mean I like him but to act like he's vastly more interesting and complex than Batman is laughable. OMG referring to your self in 3rd person is so deep and complex. That sounded a little too harsh, didn't mean to crap on Doom like that but I still don't think he's inherently any more interesting than Batman is. There's a reason Batman's the most popular hero and his company and Doom is arguably not even the most popular villain in his franchise (you could argue Galactus is)
