Who has Batman defeated with prep?
@mister_pimping: His most notable ones are
The weakened JL in End Game.
And indirectly taking down the JL in TOB, they were modified by Ra's to kill though.
He wounded Darkseid in Final crisis.
I'm assuming you want some of his more notable feats? To name a few...
Superman in The Dark Knight Returns.
Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Aquaman in Endgame.
The Hyper Adapter, and Darkseid's final gambit, in The Return of Bruce Wayne.
The Justice League in Tower of Babel.
Kalibak (Darkseid's son) in Batman and Robin Vol. 2
@omnicrono: He didn't beat Superman in TDKR. Batman faked his death unsuccessfully, but Clark played along, because he's a nice guy. He didn't want to go after Bruce and Bruce "dying" gave him an out.
Also I recall it being Ra's who took basic plans and modified them. Giving credit to Batman there is like giving credit to the Wright brothers for space travel.
@risingbean: Sigh...
He beat him. But I don't want to get into that argument.
They were Batman's exact plans which Ra's stole... which Batman could have used at any time to the same effect, and the JL had no knowledge of them. You do understand that that was why the JL had such a problem with Batman once the smoke had cleared and the day was won? As I recall, Bruce could have made his plans lethal, but opted not to for obvious reasons.
Your Wright brothers analogy isn't accurate in the slightest.
@omnicrono: We can agree to disagree. But I'm curious as to why you feel Bruce won that when he faked his death, Clark still heard his heart beat before he left, realizing Bruce was faking and left anyway. Had he wanted to Clark could have said "Wayne's faking his demise!" and Bruce spends the last years of his life in prison..
I don't have a copy handy, but as I recall in ToB the traps were taken to extremes by Al Ghul. Could be wrong and I'd need to dig up scans to be sure.
Either way, even if Ra's took them to extremes, do you really think Bruce couldn't have? They were his plans to begin with. If anyone would have known how to take them to extremes, it would have been him. The reason he didn't make them lethal is because he wasn't trying to kill his friends, just incapacitate them. That was the whole reason Bruce synthesized his own red kryptonite instead of using the green stuff... because it was not as dangerous to Clark.

Dunno. From what I understand Ra's has many more resources then Bruce.
I'm not as much in disagreement with your take on the Tower of Babel stuff as I was with your take on TDKR.

Well, here is Bruce working on the Vibra-Bullet for Flash, which is exactly what Ra's used. So the evidence points, for now, that Ra's copied Bruce's plans.
@mister_pimping: Thanks for the scan.
@omnicrono: They don't have to be notable. Just give me all the prep feats.
