No not at all that would imply Batman in the smartest person in DC which he is far from. Tim has not yet surpassed Bruce on a mental field I can make a mean argument he surpassed him as a Detective already and I can make a mean argument he is near or equal strategist and that he one day will be smarter than Bruce but as of now he is not yet smarter and far from the smartest. The smartest is the Brainiacs, Vril Dox is more intelligent the everyone on Earth combined him talking to an Earthling is the equivalent of one of us talking to an insect 

" @Son_of_Magnus: Well, will he be one of the smartest humans? "

Tim has really shown just how much he's learned from Bruce, for his age I'd say he's one of the smartest in the DC Universe, non super powered.  He has a way to go to beat Bruce but Tim is no dummy, just look at what he's doing in Red Robin and the web he's weaving.  I think Bruce is going to be really impressed with Tim when he returns. 

I'd hazard a guess that, as far as humans in the DCU go, the order of intellegence is something like: 1. Lex Luthor, 2. Mr. Terrific, 3. Bruce Wayne. Now, let's say Tim not only surpasses Bruce in smarts but also outlives Lex and Mr. Terrific. Then he would be the smartest human man in the DCU, provided, of course, no new super-intellectuals pop up in the time that it would take for Tim to think his way to the top spot. As far as aliens, wouldn't the smartest be either Vril Dox's son or Braniac (Vril's father)?

guys I think Rey Palmer should be in that league too you know, I'd say he's smarter than batman

I forgot about Ray! He definitely outranks Bruce and maybe even Mr. Terrific

What makes Bruce smart though isn't just his scientific/technological knowledge but his detective skills, his street skills, that fact that he has a good sixth sense about people and is excellent at reading people.  Tim has a lot of those qualities as well and he's suffered more than Bruce or Dick.  Both of them lost their parents in one swift stroke.  Tim's parents were captured and tortured, his mother dies, his father is paralyzed then slowly recovers, discovers his son is Robin and learns to accept it, and is then taken from Tim.  He's then later adopted by Bruce and losses him as well, but he's pushed on through all of that.  He's been through hell and back personally three times, losing a parental figure.  Tim's always been portrayed has being pretty intelligent, after all his life experience and training from Bruce, his search for proof that Bruce is alive, the way he beat Ra's and the way he's been taking out the people on his hit list, Tim deserves to be recognized by the DC Universe as one of the smartest.  Not just in his own book but by his peers.

"If Lex Luthor,Batman & Lex Luthor are the 3 smartest men in DC...and Bruce stated Tim is or will become smarter than he is, does that make Tim the smartest person in DC? "

Actually the first 2 smartest people on earth are up for grabs I dont think Dc's ever claimed who they are they usually just say "but no one can seem to agree on who the first two smartest are" and just leave you with Mr. Terrific being the third smartest (wich frankly seems really messed up I meann in most cases if a first placer can't be determined or is disqualified then the second place guy wins right and if theres no second place guy then third place wins and so on so for the point of record keeping alone shouldnt he be the smaretest man in the world in title at the least. I think they wont give it to him cause he's black seriously.

also I think you guys are short changing Tim I mean how many under 18 year olds could clone the body of a kryptonian and have their be no physical deteriation for days It took cadmas a multibillion dollar government agency with alien technology, The smartest non superbeings in the world and mabey alien help yaers to do what he setup in a month in a basementm, a basement with no house keeping or any additional maintnence beside what he did sure he faild (technically, he couldnt get it moving or thinking) and they succeded but still you gotta respect him

however :
