5:03 : W~OOWW there. Calling Alfred *"Batman's little Butler"* ?? I must strongly request of You to speak politely about Alfred and only politely. This Man is far more than just "a little Butler". 😅 He is like a Father to Bruce - and Bruce is like a Son to him. Alfred was not just very "loyal" to the Wayne Family - he deeply respected them. And when they died, Alfred could just have said : *N~aah, i quit.* and walk away. But he didn't. He would have never brought it over his Heart to leave little Bruce behind. He *HAD* to stay. That goes far beyond what a normal Servant would do or is obliged to do. Alfred is a Legend in his own way. He was the Family that Bruce needed when his Parents were no more. I am shocked actually that ANYONE would call Alfred just *Batman's little Butler.* 😅

I think it's unfair to compare detectives from vastly different worlds. Detectives like Holmes and L are closer to the realm of realism, than Batman. Batman, with all the years of stories, has had so many supernatural occurrences, that it becomes hard to compare feats. I'd say that if you take any decent detective like Holmes, L, Batman, Columbo, etc, and put them in another world, with enough time, they will adapt to that world. That's what detectives do. I think they are capable of the other's intellectual feats.
Yeah, Batman only became a detective in a world where supernatural bullshit was already the norm. L lived in a world that had no supernatural bullshit recorded since religious texts were written centuries ago, yet still managed to track down the owner of a supernatural mass murder device. Objectively, Batman has the more impressive feats. But personally, I'm FAR more impressed by L. Batman just had more opportunity for those feats.
Even if you ignore all that, think about the way batman solves a case. He is practically omnipresent, he can be anywhere and access any piece of information as needed by the plot on the merit of being batman. Cameras anywhere, unlimited funds to practically bend the city to his will, any clue can be fed into a computer and just tell him the solution. Not that he even needs that, just by being batman he can hack into any system be in any shadow interrogate anyone. Holmes has a home made chemistry set, a war vet, a collection of newspapers, an encyclopedia, some homeless kids that might have heard a rumor and a magnifying glass. His super power is noticing the exact perfect details that doyle subtly writes in to make what seems like wild assumptions in retrospect really be simple observations and logic. Peak Batman? It's solved, why? He's batman that's why.
@TheMovieCave You're right. Holmes, in my opinion, makes more sense. It's better written than Batman at least. Holmes uses a lot of tools as much as Batman, as you rightfully made note of, but Holmes' writing is mostly meticulously sensible in his explanations to the solving of a mystery. On top of that, Holmes is like Batman from a time before modern Batman, with all his technology and tools on his side. Had he been in modern day, he'd utilize AI, computers, drones, etc. , like Batman. I give Holmes the edge for his passion for truth and exact knowledge, whereas Wayne only became a detective hero because of his parent's death. Holmes has a need and drive for detection, as implied in the stories, truth is power, and he loves to learn for that reason alone. So much so, Holmes usually performs experiments for the sake of learning. Heck, he even furthered the field of forensics in real life. In his own world, he developed an agent that can detect blood better than commonly practiced test. He's just so...progressive, in the field of detection. Which has saved lives and solved cases in extraordinary ways. I just prefer Holmes for the realism, mostly which he is grounded in. I feel like I can respect him and some other detectives more than Batman for the sheer brilliance of the writing with the characters. If you gave them all that Batman has, it would be used in a more believable way, but that would make them seem lesser than Batman in the eyes of viewers. Comparing a character like Batman to these other characters would be kinda odd to do since Batman is...Batman. Who is actually just an exaggerated version of Holmes.
@@TheMovieCave That is the whole point. Why follow a human around when you can follow god around. DC has always been “gods that try to be men”. Always was, always will be
I never compared both because batman sinply has toon force of intelligence. I always divided the intelligence spectrum into realist and unrealistic. Charachters like Sherlock, L, Harvey Specter have a realistic intelligence because we can see trhough their reason and understand it. And people like iron man, batman, reed richards they are just smart and u accept it because the writers can never explain how they think.
“Toon force” is the wrong way to look at it. What he has is a common trope in fiction that is better thought of as “magic intelligence.” Magical intelligence is basically someone just inexplicably knowing/learning anything and everything and having it explained by “they’re super smart” without any actual insight into how they learn things or reason through problems. This is super common in comics, and also very common in anime. It’s even common in movies and TV shows that are ostensibly about smart characters, such as adaptations of Sherlock Holmes.
I agree with this outlook though I don't personally prefer the term toon force for it. Yes, there's a gap between unrealistic and realistic. However, there's a further gap between showing and telling. L we are shown is smart through his reasoning and while he does make mistakes, the author definitely attempted to the best of his ability to execute it and did so in a compelling way. Batman we are most often told is smart and the reason why he can do it is because he can. This applies beyond a level of dealing with magical or scifi or things we'd categorize as toon stuff which we understand and well into places where he should more often be able to do a better job of reasoning. Or it often happens that Batman is aided by his database and gadgets a lot of times where he has a computer search for people fitting certain parameters. To me, this is a more impressive computer than an impressive detective. I'm sure that in the cases where he's allowed to be a detective, Batman is just fine. However, in the vast majority of his material, he just isn't one and is an outright poor one from a logic standpoint. A lot of his detective work amounts to clue gathering from crime scenes and he's quite good at this which is why I'd classify him not as a particularly good detective in story most of the time (though he's supposed to be) and more a crime scene analyst. If we go by what we're told, Batman is of course superior in the same way that if we were told he had an IQ of 1 trillion and accepted that, that'd make him smarter. However, he's not such in the way he's actually shown. Maybe there is a really good series of Batman doing detective work that delves into his thinking as the primary driver of the series but if I certainly haven't seen it.
Batman can outsmart him, not because of his natural intelligence as much as his hard work and experience with the dc universe ( he had to deal with mafia, genius psychopaths, supervillains, aliens, magical creatures, gods and primordial beings (talking about the endless)), while L who is a genius only dealt with street level threaths and a god complex student.
This would be so lopsided in Batmans favor that its almlst unfair. Batmans feats are simply inhuman while Ls feats are at least logically humanly possible to do.
The thing that separates Bruce from L is that Bruce wanted to be smarter and placed just as much commitment on sharpening his cognitive prowes as his physical abilities.
L would actually do better than you think. Bruce would still definitely win, but L is a master of multiple martial arts, primarily Capoeira. L is no slouch in a straight fight, but yeah, Bruce would definitely win.
I mean, one of them is somewhat grounded in reality and the other sometimes also but other times he just figured out stuff because we were told he is smart.
Good video, but yeah this wasn't even a competition to be truthful, some would argue it's the longevity of the character, and sure that has a PART to do with it, but also L is written as a genius within normal humans, Batman is written to be SO SMART he can actively be the detective, tactician, scientist and engineer for the JUSTICE LEAGUE, the same team which includes a forensic scientist who can think faster than light can move from one molecule to the other and a literal Kryptonian who are born with OP levels of intelligence
Not to mention that he has been written by gazillion different writers and isn't even consistently smart in all of them. It is honestly why I prefer L over him as a more realistic detective character.
I mean even if both figured each other out it’s not like they’ll kill each other. Batman is very strict on his no kill rule, while L is alittle more in the grey area when it comes to killing, but it’s only to those who really deserve it like Kira. If anything Batman would just give him a stern talking too about killing and L would just shrug it off but respect Batman’s determination. One thing for sure is that they would bond over the fact both are orphans and their butlers are their father figures.
Batman isn’t strict about his no killing role unless you’re talking about a specific version of Batman but if we talk about Batman’s history and combined it as one Batman then Batman killed A LOT not just in movies but in comics too
If the events of the Kira case happened but L survived, Batman would probably also shit all over L for announcing his existence to Kira. Batman wouldn't have made that mistake, he'd have just solved it
big dub bros, interesting to specific smart categories being included in these long videos. If you wanted to overkill you could have shown his mind being relative to the Batman who laughs or things like constructing a platonic bullet, which is almost insurmountable perceptual reasoning and abstract thinking.
Ay thanks bro, using these scaling systems and explaining them will give better perspectives for the audience. And yuh I think in the future we can include the overkill Batman feats against possible people to match his IQ 🙏
In the comics the people who taught Batman his Detective skills include Harvey Harris, Dan Mallory, Arthur McKee (disquise, undercover work), Henri Ducard (Manhunting), Aurelius Boch (Toxicology), a hunting tribe in Africa who taught him tracking, he spent 6 weeks as an FBI agent. He also trained under an unnamed coroner and archaeologist before training under the bounty hunter Willy Dogget. There's also him training under the Shadow (though this is canonically debatable.) He also got the journal of the previous person to hold the title of "World's Greatest Detective" and used the journal to reverse engineer his methods and add them to his arsenal. So while people don't often take him seriously in vomparison to other famous fictional detectives but he does deserve the title as greatest detective in comics.
Yeah.... like he deduced riddlers plan in a day? Or is Batman just declared the worlds greatest detective but writers don’t even bother to explore that much with his character.
@@DinkusDorfI don't think, Batman beats Him. L naturally is above him. L is too smart for his Age, Wayne on other hand wasn't this Intelligent at his age compared to him. Bruce isn't Naturally Intelligent, coz he got Training while L is natural who solved every cases that existed at low age. If L was at Wayne's age, He would've better and more Feats as well.
@@KiraLDeathNoteall the training in the world wouldn't change anything at bruce's natural intelligence. Talk to any martial arts expert and they'll tell you it takes years, if not decades to master one martial art. Bruce has mastered hundreds of those martial arts. Even with centuries of training a normal person would be unable to reach the same level. Bruce didn't start his carreer as early as L did for the simple reason that he didn't need to, and as soon as he needed, he showed natural potential on par or above L. And it's quite frankly silly to compare the two. Death note is built with realistic intelligence in mind. No matter how smart, the characters are still humans and make human mistakes. DC on the other hand is completely unrealistic. Brainiac is a 12th level intellect, with a 9th level intellect being smarter than the entire human race combined. And batman was still able to deduce stuff faster than brainiac. He's simply not a realistic human so there's no point in comparing L to him
I feel it would be fairer to use batman from one comic run because the character has had so many different interpretations it's hard to argue that they are all really the same character
The reason why Batman's detective skills are usually overlooked is because the best versions of Batman were created by people who understand that a story is only as smart as its creator, and so they focus on his physical feats. Should they focus on his detective skills, it'd be very damn easy to think of some grand scheme of a villain, only for it to have one obvious fatal flaw that no one in the story even thinks of. There are fewer issues in focusing on his physical prowess.
Probably not. Talons and immortality are just too much of an obstacle. Even if he figured them out, he does not have political or military power to bring them down. Reminds me of that quote from glass onion “I am a detective, but I am not Batman. I can find the clues and shine light on the truth…. But that is where my specialty ends - I cannot bring criminals to justice myself”
You could've just compared how each of them would do against Light. If Batman catches him in less time he wins, but if he takes a long time to catch him he loses.
@@JasonDevil06Yeah but he wouldn't. Because of either bruce wayne or gordon. It's obvious one of the two has to know batman's ID, so light would just sack both to get it and be surprised "oh it's bruce wayne."
@Oznerock Batman works in the shadows and light would most likely have no way of following his trail. Especially if Batman is the one pursuing Light in secret, he most likely isn't going to approach the situation like L or Near, letting Light know he's being pursued.
@@JasonDevil06Don't forget the only reason L died was that there was a second Shinigami that killed him of her own volition. Once a shinigami decides to kill you, you die. It's not like Batman would have survived that either.
@creepykoala7255 the point with L I was making was that he still died and didn't catch Kira if batman caught him at all he'd be better than L by default
Ngl I feel like L would figure out Batman is Bruce Wayne is less than a few days. He would figure out when Bruce does what and would eventually figure out where he lives. The only way Batman wins if with combat and he would be able to figure out L too
Anyone could figure out who the batman is they probably just don't say it. Rich, has lots of money, needs control over most things, is a great fighter in decent physical shape, height, weight, etc. Not hard to figure out that dude is batman, most just don't say it because plot.
Damn I Have Nearly As High IQ As Light's Father Nearly Without Trying By Holding Back - 121 IQ Vs 128 IQ And My True Level Of IQ Is Around ~ 175 [Close To That - 171 IQ], But I'm Usually Hiding That.
Once again, its a shame that the Death Note author is by and large smarter than Batman authors. So we're just told Batman would be smarter instead of shown that.
*Using only intelligence isn’t enough. You have to work hard to build your mind, body and spirit so that you’ll be able to guide your intelligence smoothly.*

Honestly, I think it's a bit of an unfair matchup since Batman's intelligence is far more cartoonish in nature; nobody questions it since his deductions, while often Deus ex machina-ish in nature, gets the job done anyway
In an intellectual battle, L would have the upper hand, but if it came to a physical confrontation, Batman’s combat skills and resources give him a significant edge.
I feel the difference between them is that Batman specializes in Gotham specifically, while L is more generalized. I feel L is the better detective because he can come to conclusions in a really speedy way regardless of criteria, while Batman is only a good detective in Gotham. Yes, Batman is smart, but most comics and media nowadays overcompensate.
I completely disagree. Batman's feats aren't as impressive considering the world he lives in. L by comparison is leagues above any other human on the planet besides MAYBE Near and Mello. Batman is on par with the peak of humanity in his world, L is far above it.
@@bobdafishyes6536 But more people are at the peak of the DC multiverse, making that a normal. DC characters are practically pampered into being superhuman. L is more impressive considering the world he lives in and his detective prowess outclasses that of Batman. L is not just L but countless other detectives on the "Greatest Detectives of all Time" list simultaneously. L is such a good detective that he plays the role of many detectives at once. He's never been seen yet solved every case he worked on, and yes, that includes the Kira case. he knew Light was Kira as soon as Raye Penber died, he just wanted hard proof. He managed all of this without any knowledge of the Death Note.
@@DestroyerApollyon true if we take it as a competition or being more impressive than L is far more impressive in a standing of being better than people in your verse be is clearly #1 in his verse I basically just said that Batman would win because his cap is higher than L’s
@@bobdafishyes6536 I still think L would win a duel of wits. Batman takes all night and needs to find every clue to solve the Riddler's puzzles. L would have figured it out as soon as he sees the first clue. evidence: he's done more with less. in one move, he confirmed that Kira was real, needed at least a name and a face at minimum to kill, lives in Kanto, and was a student. he went from knowing that people were dying coincidentally to basically knowing the identity of a serial killer who doesn't need to be at the scene of the crime to kill.
@@DestroyerApollyon I can’t really argue die to the ungodly sized intellect difference between Batman’s dumbest and smartest renditions like you pointed out he sometimes takes days to solve admittedly almost impossible riddles their still just riddles and if it’s one of those dumber renditions then yea I don’t think either of us are going to disagree that L pretty handily takes it their but when Batman is bullshited in the intelligence stat where he’s competing with a 12th dimensional or level intellect like Luther then I think bats takes it there e just ti much difference between them to say he either takes it or dosent I feel like you have to specify a little more So basically dumber bats losses pretty hard and smarter bats wins pretty hard
as far as I am concerned personally, if we are comparing people from any comic universe, we have to draw a clear line between what is realistic and unrealistic for the portrayal of characters, as a general rule this bars stuff like pre crisis of infinite earths, instances of time travel or dimension hopping and so on. Whilst this does mean you dismiss many big feats it allows a more (in my view) fair analysis in these types of comparisons.
Fun fact batman was so popular that dc renamed themselves after his comics showing that even going back about 100 years people still liked batman more intensely than superman so that's got to say something about humankind, we would rather read about a flawed person than a perfect person for at least 100 years now
It's simple really. Batman is so intelligent that he can accomplish inconceivable things. Like the alien tranalation feat for example. For L, you can understand how or why he comes to his conclusions. For Batman it's just, he's Batman. And that's it.
Batman would obviously lose. He's part of DC and L is clearly neurodivergent. DC characters aren't allowed to do ableist things like take down a neurodivergent person. L would have plenty of time to deal with him before the writers swap out Bruce with a character that has enough oppression points to be allowed to even attempt to confront him as Bruce Wayne is the only thing keeping the company afloat atm.
Batman deals with magic and alternative universes so he's probably got a lot less ego about sloving crimes. Hes also just better at working on a team so he's less likely to loose since he'd call in help if he hit a dead end. But Batman is also just harder to pin point because there are so many verisons of him. The batman weve had in comics since Tom King is too demotivated and honestly kinda overemotional and sometimes downright evil so he'd lose. All star batman would get wrecked by L too. But a properly written Batman would win for sure. Now do Tim Drake vs L lmao
Batman takes the Archetype of The World's Greatest Detective and accelerates it to mythical proportions by making him A Detective-Polymath Hybrid. He's not just phenomenonal at skillsets inherent to being a detective, but he has used his abilities as a detective to gain extra curricular skills not inherent to a detective to make him a universally functional Detective against any tier of criminal with any tier of specialized training. It's Detective Inception. He uses his skills specific to being a detective to gain expertise transcendent of that of a detective, all to make him a better Detective.
Batman would only win if light has to write "batman" thinking of the bruce wayne face. (because he identifies as batman not bruce) but I think the book uses birthname. Or, since everyone knows he's connected to batman in some way, just write down "Bruce wayne reveals what he knows about batman and dies" or "Gordon reveals what he knows about batman and dies". Batman loses because too many weak links exist when it comes to his identity, even if it's secret. Meanwhile L's identity was nonexistent to anyone without shinigami eyes, because he didn't have a real life outside of L. Batman is a better detective but he couldn't solve the Kira case before he dies. Superman clears both by my kira case metric tho-
Batman can solve ANY problem, given enough prep time, while L is merely human. L is dead, which means he has permanently run out of prep time, while Batman continues to live on, and will probably continue to live on for many more decades. As long as he lives, he is perpetually preparing. He knows that he will one day have to go against Deadpool, so he already knows the power of the fourth wall & can fully utilize it in any situation. This alone makes him invincible.
Batman: I concede, L. You win. You're the superior detective. L: Well I'm glad you could see things my way, Dark Kn- Batman: *Proceeds to break every bone in L's body 15 different ways* Gordon: I... Batman: Don't worry Jim, he's a criminal. I'm the world's greatest detective.
Okay but objectively, Batman's stories are written in such a way that he has access to whatever information is required for the plot to move on, while L was written as "best detective in a setting that is normal aside from the existence of the plot item". Also, there are so many iterations of Batman that it becomes nonsensical to say "Batman would be smarter than L". Which Batman? All of them? Like, every single of the easily 500+ iterations?
So main argument is that: He beats the guy who beat the guy that defeated the smartest guy in DC, so batman outsmarts the riddler who outsmarts lex luthor who beats brainiac. Fair enough I can't say anything against that.
I dont think its fair to say L doesnt have feats on par with Batman. L went from noticing a bunch of seemingly unrelated deaths were probably from a supernatural killer (which had no prior cases) to pinpointing exactly who the killer was in the entire world in just a few days. Sure, he wasnt able to "catch" Light in the end, but thats only because he was working inside the confines of the justice system and needed to be able to prove a supernatural case in court, something undeniably difficult to do. But make no mistake, he *knew* who Kira was before he even met Light. Batman gets to look smarter because when he has a hunch he just goes and punches it, making it look like he solves cases faster. In reality they both solve them at the same speed, just L goes the extra mile to prove it in court. The only reason L lost to Light is that he had no way to know anything about Rem since there was no history of him to study or anything like that. Even then he was able to predict what would happen enough to know when he lost.
What's interesting is that Batman would have died instantly in Death Note. He called himself Batman under the lasso of truth so that's not a pseudonym. 😂

The thing that separates Bruce from L is that Bruce wanted to be smarter and placed just as much commitment on sharpening his cognitive prowes as his physical abilities.
This thumbnail is really funny if you assume it's a fist fight
L would actually do better than you think. Bruce would still definitely win, but L is a master of multiple martial arts, primarily Capoeira. L is no slouch in a straight fight, but yeah, Bruce would definitely win.
I mean, one of them is somewhat grounded in reality and the other sometimes also but other times he just figured out stuff because we were told he is smart.
That is how superpower of intelligence is also a superpower.
Same with Sister Sage in Boys. Being smart to that level IS superpowered
Good video, but yeah this wasn't even a competition to be truthful, some would argue it's the longevity of the character, and sure that has a PART to do with it, but also L is written as a genius within normal humans, Batman is written to be SO SMART he can actively be the detective, tactician, scientist and engineer for the JUSTICE LEAGUE, the same team which includes a forensic scientist who can think faster than light can move from one molecule to the other and a literal Kryptonian who are born with OP levels of intelligence
Not to mention that he has been written by gazillion different writers and isn't even consistently smart in all of them. It is honestly why I prefer L over him as a more realistic detective character.
@@nnnnmhughuuhhjiijj9457no one cares what u like
I mean even if both figured each other out it’s not like they’ll kill each other.
Batman is very strict on his no kill rule, while L is alittle more in the grey area when it comes to killing, but it’s only to those who really deserve it like Kira.
If anything Batman would just give him a stern talking too about killing and L would just shrug it off but respect Batman’s determination.
One thing for sure is that they would bond over the fact both are orphans and their butlers are their father figures.
Yeah Batman’s more of the “beat you to near-death” sort
Batman isn’t strict about his no killing role unless you’re talking about a specific version of Batman but if we talk about Batman’s history and combined it as one Batman then Batman killed A LOT not just in movies but in comics too
L wouldnt kill either because he considers that "losing".
If the events of the Kira case happened but L survived, Batman would probably also shit all over L for announcing his existence to Kira. Batman wouldn't have made that mistake, he'd have just solved it
big dub bros, interesting to specific smart categories being included in these long videos. If you wanted to overkill you could have shown his mind being relative to the Batman who laughs or things like constructing a platonic bullet, which is almost insurmountable perceptual reasoning and abstract thinking.
Ay thanks bro, using these scaling systems and explaining them will give better perspectives for the audience. And yuh I think in the future we can include the overkill Batman feats against possible people to match his IQ 🙏
@@AventSir Conan vs Johan
Brother, ʟ don't remember him unless Batman was laughing, then he was sure that Batman was the winner
Dropped while I’m at work thank goodness you saved me
Dm me what u think of the vid dawg
In the comics the people who taught Batman his Detective skills include Harvey Harris, Dan Mallory, Arthur McKee (disquise, undercover work), Henri Ducard (Manhunting), Aurelius Boch (Toxicology), a hunting tribe in Africa who taught him tracking, he spent 6 weeks as an FBI agent. He also trained under an unnamed coroner and archaeologist before training under the bounty hunter Willy Dogget.
There's also him training under the Shadow (though this is canonically debatable.)
He also got the journal of the previous person to hold the title of "World's Greatest Detective" and used the journal to reverse engineer his methods and add them to his arsenal.
So while people don't often take him seriously in vomparison to other famous fictional detectives but he does deserve the title as greatest detective in comics.
Batman would’ve found out light was kira in a day bro
Yeah.... like he deduced riddlers plan in a day? Or is Batman just declared the worlds greatest detective but writers don’t even bother to explore that much with his character.
Fr. And by the way he does things, would’ve destroyed the notebook and leave Light with fractures all over his body. Which would be well deserved
In a night
@@C6M6i mean batman is pretty consistently a detective. It's ingrained in his character so I'd the the former.
He'd likely just make a call with zatanna and it'd be over in a few hours depending on how fast his jet is
Man this is awesome i would like to see Sherlock Holmes Versus Johan Liebert 4 Sherlock Holmes Versus L
Oh my god mom get the camera it’s him
Imagine Batman in the field and L being his guy in the Batcave giving him intel?
W video, Ls natural intelligence over batmans is insane
W Nucha
"Natural Intelligence". Idk man, I think Batman still has him beat there.
@@DinkusDorfI don't think, Batman beats Him. L naturally is above him.
L is too smart for his Age, Wayne on other hand wasn't this Intelligent at his age compared to him. Bruce isn't Naturally Intelligent, coz he got Training while L is natural who solved every cases that existed at low age.
If L was at Wayne's age, He would've better and more Feats as well.
@@KiraLDeathNoteall the training in the world wouldn't change anything at bruce's natural intelligence. Talk to any martial arts expert and they'll tell you it takes years, if not decades to master one martial art. Bruce has mastered hundreds of those martial arts. Even with centuries of training a normal person would be unable to reach the same level. Bruce didn't start his carreer as early as L did for the simple reason that he didn't need to, and as soon as he needed, he showed natural potential on par or above L. And it's quite frankly silly to compare the two. Death note is built with realistic intelligence in mind. No matter how smart, the characters are still humans and make human mistakes. DC on the other hand is completely unrealistic. Brainiac is a 12th level intellect, with a 9th level intellect being smarter than the entire human race combined. And batman was still able to deduce stuff faster than brainiac. He's simply not a realistic human so there's no point in comparing L to him
If you ignore thousands of batman's intelligence feats then sure L is smarter but im reality is he not. Comic charactersdo crazy things its no joke
I feel it would be fairer to use batman from one comic run because the character has had so many different interpretations it's hard to argue that they are all really the same character
Didn't lex luthor once said batman was smarter than him 💀
Yes he was.
That was in dceased that's not cannon

@@AventSirLove the vid dawg. both are a great detective but overall i would choose Batman due to his feats outshine L's.

@@AventSir ty too for replying 👍
By the time you figure out I’m after you, I’m right behind you.
I remember watching young justice batman deduced deathstrokes entire plan based off reading his micro expressions.
I liked the formatting of this video.
But the way i was looking at it was from the sheer details
The reason why Batman's detective skills are usually overlooked is because the best versions of Batman were created by people who understand that a story is only as smart as its creator, and so they focus on his physical feats. Should they focus on his detective skills, it'd be very damn easy to think of some grand scheme of a villain, only for it to have one obvious fatal flaw that no one in the story even thinks of. There are fewer issues in focusing on his physical prowess.
WAKE UP BABE AVENT DROPPEDD
In an alternate universe he recreated the incident which turns Dr Manhattan into Dr Manhattan
Both the worlds greatest detective?
THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!
Its because batman is as smart as any given story needs him to be.
Which, while i like Batman, usually makes his comic feats largly inconsistent.
You should make a video called "can Batman catch and solve the Case of Johan Liebert"
If Batman was in Monster, the series would last like 5 episodes.
could L stop the court of owls?
(probably)
Skullker, nooooooooooooo,. OURS YESSS
Probably not.
Talons and immortality are just too much of an obstacle.
Even if he figured them out, he does not have political or military power to bring them down.
Reminds me of that quote from glass onion “I am a detective, but I am not Batman. I can find the clues and shine light on the truth…. But that is where my specialty ends - I cannot bring criminals to justice myself”

You could've just compared how each of them would do against Light. If Batman catches him in less time he wins, but if he takes a long time to catch him he loses.
I mean to be fair L lost to light. If batman caught him at all he'd win
@@JasonDevil06Yeah but he wouldn't. Because of either bruce wayne or gordon. It's obvious one of the two has to know batman's ID, so light would just sack both to get it and be surprised "oh it's bruce wayne."
@Oznerock Batman works in the shadows and light would most likely have no way of following his trail. Especially if Batman is the one pursuing Light in secret, he most likely isn't going to approach the situation like L or Near, letting Light know he's being pursued.
@@JasonDevil06Don't forget the only reason L died was that there was a second Shinigami that killed him of her own volition.
Once a shinigami decides to kill you, you die. It's not like Batman would have survived that either.
@creepykoala7255 the point with L I was making was that he still died and didn't catch Kira if batman caught him at all he'd be better than L by default
Ngl I feel like L would figure out Batman is Bruce Wayne is less than a few days. He would figure out when Bruce does what and would eventually figure out where he lives. The only way Batman wins if with combat and he would be able to figure out L too
Anyone could figure out who the batman is they probably just don't say it. Rich, has lots of money, needs control over most things, is a great fighter in decent physical shape, height, weight, etc. Not hard to figure out that dude is batman, most just don't say it because plot.
Batman still winning, L can't do shit
@@bottomtier3823 yeah when it comes to combat but if L figures out who Batman is which I think it won’t take long at all, than Batman has to fight him
The easiest way to scale young Bruce is to scale Damien who has many statements of being just like Bruce when he was young.
You should make a video about johan vs Sherlock Holmes

Once again, its a shame that the Death Note author is by and large smarter than Batman authors. So we're just told Batman would be smarter instead of shown that.
Can you do L vs Jigsaw killers?
L Lawliet solving and catching the Jigsaw Killers would be a interesting matchup.

To keep people engaged just edit (subtitles, graphics, pacing, sfx (sound effects) vfx (video effects) and your audio) make sure the video’s frame change every couple seconds to keep people watching or atleast be talking about something very interesting.
if Superman's strength is translated into intelligence that's how smart batman is
I watched fbi espionage movies, learned reverse forcing tactics, they only ocassionally work, but work
Honestly, I think it's a bit of an unfair matchup since Batman's intelligence is far more cartoonish in nature; nobody questions it since his deductions, while often Deus ex machina-ish in nature, gets the job done anyway
Are you sure he's still not being a detective in a lot of movies, he's just condensed,look
Light exists L:"There is 8% chance you are kira"
In an intellectual battle, L would have the upper hand, but if it came to a physical confrontation, Batman’s combat skills and resources give him a significant edge.
Forget Batman, I want an L/The Question crossover.
If Adam Waller was able to discover Bruce's secret identity, why not L?
I feel the difference between them is that Batman specializes in Gotham specifically, while L is more generalized. I feel L is the better detective because he can come to conclusions in a really speedy way regardless of criteria, while Batman is only a good detective in Gotham. Yes, Batman is smart, but most comics and media nowadays overcompensate.
Avent underrating DN Again..Yet Cooking somehow
I completely disagree. Batman's feats aren't as impressive considering the world he lives in. L by comparison is leagues above any other human on the planet besides MAYBE Near and Mello. Batman is on par with the peak of humanity in his world, L is far above it.
But the peak of the dc works is leagues above the peak of the death note world
@@bobdafishyes6536 But more people are at the peak of the DC multiverse, making that a normal. DC characters are practically pampered into being superhuman. L is more impressive considering the world he lives in and his detective prowess outclasses that of Batman. L is not just L but countless other detectives on the "Greatest Detectives of all Time" list simultaneously. L is such a good detective that he plays the role of many detectives at once. He's never been seen yet solved every case he worked on, and yes, that includes the Kira case. he knew Light was Kira as soon as Raye Penber died, he just wanted hard proof. He managed all of this without any knowledge of the Death Note.
@@DestroyerApollyon true if we take it as a competition or being more impressive than L is far more impressive in a standing of being better than people in your verse be is clearly #1 in his verse I basically just said that Batman would win because his cap is higher than L’s
@@bobdafishyes6536 I still think L would win a duel of wits. Batman takes all night and needs to find every clue to solve the Riddler's puzzles. L would have figured it out as soon as he sees the first clue.
evidence: he's done more with less. in one move, he confirmed that Kira was real, needed at least a name and a face at minimum to kill, lives in Kanto, and was a student. he went from knowing that people were dying coincidentally to basically knowing the identity of a serial killer who doesn't need to be at the scene of the crime to kill.
@@DestroyerApollyon I can’t really argue die to the ungodly sized intellect difference between Batman’s dumbest and smartest renditions like you pointed out he sometimes takes days to solve admittedly almost impossible riddles their still just riddles and if it’s one of those dumber renditions then yea I don’t think either of us are going to disagree that L pretty handily takes it their but when Batman is bullshited in the intelligence stat where he’s competing with a 12th dimensional or level intellect like Luther then I think bats takes it there e just ti much difference between them to say he either takes it or dosent I feel like you have to specify a little more
So basically dumber bats losses pretty hard and smarter bats wins pretty hard
as far as I am concerned personally, if we are comparing people from any comic universe, we have to draw a clear line between what is realistic and unrealistic for the portrayal of characters, as a general rule this bars stuff like pre crisis of infinite earths, instances of time travel or dimension hopping and so on. Whilst this does mean you dismiss many big feats it allows a more (in my view) fair analysis in these types of comparisons.
Fun fact batman was so popular that dc renamed themselves after his comics showing that even going back about 100 years people still liked batman more intensely than superman so that's got to say something about humankind, we would rather read about a flawed person than a perfect person for at least 100 years now
That I gained with boosting, my metapower
You should do can Batman catch johan liebert
Batman catching and solving the Case of Johan Liebert would be amazing.
@@MrLim-wq2gn exactly
It's simple really. Batman is so intelligent that he can accomplish inconceivable things. Like the alien tranalation feat for example. For L, you can understand how or why he comes to his conclusions. For Batman it's just, he's Batman. And that's it.
L as a character in fiction is technically bio engineered in a way
Was that Man in the thumbnail?
How fitting that L would use the Joker method of gripping the publics attention.
Batman like body intelligence, yes. Boosting
incredibly good
Batman would obviously lose. He's part of DC and L is clearly neurodivergent. DC characters aren't allowed to do ableist things like take down a neurodivergent person. L would have plenty of time to deal with him before the writers swap out Bruce with a character that has enough oppression points to be allowed to even attempt to confront him as Bruce Wayne is the only thing keeping the company afloat atm.
This explanation is so stupid that it is at the bottom of the comment section, literally.
i can't fucking breathe this is so funny
Batman deals with magic and alternative universes so he's probably got a lot less ego about sloving crimes. Hes also just better at working on a team so he's less likely to loose since he'd call in help if he hit a dead end.
But Batman is also just harder to pin point because there are so many verisons of him. The batman weve had in comics since Tom King is too demotivated and honestly kinda overemotional and sometimes downright evil so he'd lose. All star batman would get wrecked by L too.
But a properly written Batman would win for sure.
Now do Tim Drake vs L lmao
You should do "Can L Become Batman?"
This sorta thing would be like asking "could Bulma solve the Kira case?"
Well actually, would she? She might fall for Light, let's be honest...
Batman takes the Archetype of The World's Greatest Detective and accelerates it to mythical proportions by making him A Detective-Polymath Hybrid.
He's not just phenomenonal at skillsets inherent to being a detective, but he has used his abilities as a detective to gain extra curricular skills not inherent to a detective to make him a universally functional Detective against any tier of criminal with any tier of specialized training.
It's Detective Inception. He uses his skills specific to being a detective to gain expertise transcendent of that of a detective, all to make him a better Detective.
Only people who don’t know Batman is a detective are the current writers at DC.
Batman had the forethought to carry anti shark spray in a helicopter. Bruce knows no bounds
Id say batman since he outsmarted many smart characters like the joker and the riddler
Your content is very very good. ❤❤
Another great video
If you had watched Code Geass It would be very interesting to see some video about Lelouch 😊
Appreciate it, I have! Will have a vid related to Lelouch soon 💪
Batman would only win if light has to write "batman" thinking of the bruce wayne face. (because he identifies as batman not bruce) but I think the book uses birthname.
Or, since everyone knows he's connected to batman in some way, just write down "Bruce wayne reveals what he knows about batman and dies"
or "Gordon reveals what he knows about batman and dies".
Batman loses because too many weak links exist when it comes to his identity, even if it's secret. Meanwhile L's identity was nonexistent to anyone without shinigami eyes, because he didn't have a real life outside of L.
Batman is a better detective but he couldn't solve the Kira case before he dies.
Superman clears both by my kira case metric tho-
Batman can solve ANY problem, given enough prep time, while L is merely human. L is dead, which means he has permanently run out of prep time, while Batman continues to live on, and will probably continue to live on for many more decades. As long as he lives, he is perpetually preparing. He knows that he will one day have to go against Deadpool, so he already knows the power of the fourth wall & can fully utilize it in any situation. This alone makes him invincible.
L is more interesting and intelligent to me
No
Batman: I concede, L. You win. You're the superior detective.
L: Well I'm glad you could see things my way, Dark Kn-
Batman: *Proceeds to break every bone in L's body 15 different ways*
Gordon: I...
Batman: Don't worry Jim, he's a criminal. I'm the world's greatest detective.
Okay but objectively, Batman's stories are written in such a way that he has access to whatever information is required for the plot to move on, while L was written as "best detective in a setting that is normal aside from the existence of the plot item". Also, there are so many iterations of Batman that it becomes nonsensical to say "Batman would be smarter than L". Which Batman? All of them? Like, every single of the easily 500+ iterations?
Ranpo not a debate
So main argument is that: He beats the guy who beat the guy that defeated the smartest guy in DC, so batman outsmarts the riddler who outsmarts lex luthor who beats brainiac. Fair enough I can't say anything against that.
78 weebs didn't take too kindly to this video.
Great video, btw.
Ah yes let's compare toon force intelligence to realism intelligence.
W AVENTTTTTTT
Hope you enjoyed!
Truly observe batman in movies
I dont think its fair to say L doesnt have feats on par with Batman. L went from noticing a bunch of seemingly unrelated deaths were probably from a supernatural killer (which had no prior cases) to pinpointing exactly who the killer was in the entire world in just a few days. Sure, he wasnt able to "catch" Light in the end, but thats only because he was working inside the confines of the justice system and needed to be able to prove a supernatural case in court, something undeniably difficult to do. But make no mistake, he *knew* who Kira was before he even met Light.
Batman gets to look smarter because when he has a hunch he just goes and punches it, making it look like he solves cases faster. In reality they both solve them at the same speed, just L goes the extra mile to prove it in court. The only reason L lost to Light is that he had no way to know anything about Rem since there was no history of him to study or anything like that. Even then he was able to predict what would happen enough to know when he lost.
Lets be honest, If L was sent to the DC universe, he would do well in a narative sense
Could Batman catch Johan? Johan is basically a calm joker.
What's interesting is that Batman would have died instantly in Death Note. He called himself Batman under the lasso of truth so that's not a pseudonym. 😂
Your detective fan boys
L has batman DNA.
