Character » Batman appears in 9899 issues.
The most wanked character in comic book history.
Make a thread of Batman versus any given character and the first question you get from his craziest fans is: ''How much prep time does he get?!''.
Listening to some of 'em one could even beleive that Batman could probably defeat the entire comicverse if granted enough prep-time. Quite ridiculous, he's the Chuck Norris of comic books. And it doesn't seem like the blind fanboyism among writers and his most loyal fans will change any time soon.
Altair, Ezio and Connor can kick Batman's ass. There I said it.
NO. No matter how RIDICULOUSLY OMNIPOTENT/GODLIKE/OMNICIENT/IMPOSSIBLE a foe is... when matched with Batman, it's a no win scenario for that guy.
It's just so damn fun to see how Batman can actually still win. He's a survivor, and that's what he'll always do: Survive.
HE CAN'T BE CYCLOPS BECAUSE CYCLOPS WAS RIGHT ARGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGH!!
*foams at the mouth*
You're implying there is room for defeat on Batman's end.
There isn't.
This is why I can't love Batman, I like Batman well enough, but honestly I hate this perception that he is unbeatable. His book is good and seeing him struggle against Talon was awesome, but then you have this parallel fanverse where he could take Superman and Wonder Woman on blindfolded and it is totally acceptable. Bat-god in my opinion ruins Batman.
There's always someone better than you.
Luckily, that doesn't apply to Batman!
Give batman 1 or 2 week prep time then we see how it goes
@Blood1991: Thats why batman is the best character, hes always prepared. But having this perception were he is unbeatable thats what makes batman, batman! Gosh..But the stories were he gets hes butt kicked and still wins is one of my favorites. If you think about it every character is unbeatable, when they die they come back so it doesnt matter.

Someone should tell Jimmy Palmiotti that Batman did beat Hulk, as well as Superman several times.
Yes batman did... But when did he beat them in canon? That's the better question...
Without the convenient plot devices...then no.
E.g.
Hush: Supposing that Lois managed to escape Catwoman's escape and went somewhere she couldn't be found, and if Bruce didn't happen to be in the same building as the Kryptonite ring, Batman would have probably been turned inside out.
e.g. 2:
TDKR: Suppose Oliver Queen dropped his arrow, or was apprehended before he had a chance to fire his arrow, the ending of the Superman/Batman fight would have come a lot sooner.
Honestly batmans cool and all but this topic is just point less because even if he had all the prep time in the world id bet my life wolverine would STILL find a way to kill batman. *(Oh hell new pointless discussion can wolverine kill every1 if he had enough prep time.)* Also just to state a fact Dr. Doom or Wolverine are the comicverse chuck norris.

Batman Wins when he actually takes the time to prep
No he cannot.
Come at me fanboys
@ssejllenrad: Well, Batman beat Superman in the Hush storyline as was pointed out by a previous comment.
Let us not forget that Batman has plans to beat the entire JLA. Has no one read Tower of Babel or seen Justice League: Doom ? End of discussion.
Let's turn batman into a Villain and have D-List heroes/villains team up to beat him 'cause they're so inconsequential he didn't prepare for them.

yeah for once. Batman is always right.
Note: G-man

What have you done?
You hit the nail on the head...And then people come and say Superman is overpowered...but Batman can somehow beat him with a banana....talk about hypocrisy...This is why I can't love Batman, I like Batman well enough, but honestly I hate this perception that he is unbeatable.

No he cant beat everyone,no superhero is unbeatable.
Talking in canon of course.
