        Lex Luthor in the novel Miracle Monday by Elliot Maggin (which is canon, it’s mentioned in Superman #400) was able to convert his body into a state between matter and energy while in prison by going on a vegan diet and meditating for a bit, with this state allowing him to unlock the secrets of alternate dimensions, time travel, and the production of anti-matter, but in particular he used it to walk through walls through burrowing a hole in hell. Yes, this actually happened. Pic related.

        Lex intelligence mogs anyone else in DC.

                Superman is humble to his friends, and wouldn’t want to stroke Lex’s ego, either. In reality Superman is smarter than both, as Superman considers Lex smarter than Batman (and the smartest human in the world, which is why Superman sees Lex as his greatest failure in not being able to turn him good).

                Both Snyder and Tynion have talked to Tyler from the Imaginary Axis in interviews and have confirmed that Lex is smarter than Batkek, and Lex being the one to make the machine to beat Batkek in the end shows this.

                Also here’s the ultimate debunk for your nonsense. Joker with Lex’s intelligence MAKES HIM SANE (pic related), while Joker with Bruce’s intelligence (Batkek) doesn’t do that at all. Hence, we can conclude that Lex > Bruce.

                Lex made the machine which beat Batkek who has the knowledge of every Batman from the dark multiverse (infinite) and Superman is smarter than Lex.

                Superman > Lex > Batkek >>>>>> Infinite Batmen.

                Keep coping. Tyler says both Snyder and Tynion said that Lex > Batkek. Lex’s intelligence could make Joker sane while Bruce’s intelligence, even when amped by infinite Batmen from the multiverse, couldn’t.

      Luthor by several margins. Both in what he's shown to be able to perform scientifically, on his wholly own accord, and confirmed by sources (12th level intellect, and shit).
      You could argue that Batman is smarter across domains of intelligence, but it's not like Luthor is a midwit in other areas. Batman is probably a better martial artist or at psychoanalysis, but he can't do theoretical physics like Luthor can.

      Horseshit batshilling. Batman has no scientific accomplishments under his belt that puts him anywhere near Luthor.

        DC should lean more into its characters having areas of expertise. As of right now I think the only undeniable one is Ivo being the best at robotics. I guess the Atoms are supposed to be the "physics" guys, but aside from that everyone seems to be just generically super smart. The Superman/Batman comic recently had an issue where Ted was presented as a "chemist" (following Batman's instructions) so I guess there's that too.

      If Batman is so smart, why does he need to beat villains to solve problems? Surely he could devise some other method to fix his city (probably applying his money), but he still doing stupid things like this like cape crusading. The obvious conclusion is that his comic readers wouldn't accept a more intelligent take on the character, but I refuse to believe this because it would be the same thing as saying that comics are for children.

        I don't think Terrific is anyone's favourite character. My favourite "smart guy" in DC is Ray Palmer. Still, there's a serious lack of interest from DC editorial to push these characters as smart when compared to Marvel, which constantly goes "Reed is the smartest. If not him it's Valeria. If not her then the new black inclusivity "smart" child, Moon Girl.

      The anti-life equation isn’t an equation so there’s nothing to “figure out”. It’s just mind control, it’s a power you possess not a feat you achieve or a process you uncover or an equation you plug numbers into.

        It literally is though. It's the equation of concepts that removes free will and agency. If you take Final Crisis at face value, it appearently also causes the universe to collapse. Only missing point is how its functionally applied, IE: how the power works.

    Lex and it's not even a question due to the nature of comics. Lex has come up with inventions and idea's that have lasted into the future because even the dumbest writer can write that sort of thing because it's all fictional science and logic. Batman's intellect typically involves him getting one over his opponents, the problem with that is that it's more grounded and we can see that these intellectual moments are really just the writers making the other, supposedly smart characters, exceptionally dumb.

    Technically, Batman is, but he doesn't apply himself to the sciences. DC says it all the timehe could accomplish anything he puts his mind but he's singularly focused on fist fighting the mentally ill at night.

    Lex is smarter, because honestly that's all he has. He basically maxed out his INT stat, Batman still didn't go all the way with INT because he needed STR and STM and AGI... he's well rounded.

    Lex just outsmarts everyone and he's always going against Superman so he needs to outsmart him. Also, Lex doesn't have ethics or morals so he's more than willing to do some "dirty thinking" and not afraid to let this mind has out sinister plots. Bruce can't even think about killing people.
