I've noticed that lately there's been less and less threads involving prep battles. My guess is that prep battles are either no longer popular, or its perhaps something more worrying... --> prep battles require critical thinking which people hate?
Battles involving Batman, for instance, when pitted against opponents of far higher power level than he usually operates, will usually have comicvine posters saying that its a stomp against Batman.
Of course in a straight up fight, Batman will not be any match for Silver Surfer, Luffy, Naruto, or any of these characters. However, if you give him prep, Batman has shown to be able to think out of the box and find out a way around a situation. For instance, exploiting the weakness of Superman, or talking his way out of near-certain death and then sucker punch the foe into unconsciousness. Don't just say that there are no feats of Batman comparable with that of Superman, because as an alternative, Batman have feats that show him outwitting opponents on the power level of Superman.
Couple of infamous prep battle threads back in 2014:

So why don't comicvine users resort to arguments as the users in the above threads had done too?
