Recently, in a controversy, the community accused Batman of being a superhero just because of his money. While there is a grain of truth, claims that Batman was a hero only because of his wealth are unfounded: Bruce Wayne is also gifted with an alien intellect. Let’s try to take stock of his IQ.
In the numerous iterations of the DC Universe that have occurred over the years, some details of the characterization of superheroes like Batman have remained unchanged. Regardless of the universe in which it is located, Bruce Wayne has always stood out for his intelligence, as well as for his legacy.
Determining Bruce Wayne’s exact IQ is an impossible feat. With a publishing history as long as Batman’s, Inconsistencies are inevitable. However, there are some parameters of the DC Universe that can help us, such as the 12-point intelligence scale, introduced in some stories published in the 1960s.
In the DC Comics comics, the alien race of the Coulans created a number system that classifies a creature’s level of intelligence in 12 levels. The average Coulan has an intelligence level of 8. Brainiac, Superman’s villain who was created by the Coulans, is rated at level 12. among the brightest creatures in the DC Universe.
If you only consider humans (excluding Superman, whose intelligence level can increase due to the radiation absorbed by the sun), the most intelligent people on the planet rank themselves on an average of 6. In Doomsday Clock # 2, Geoff Johns reveals that Bruce Wayne is the second smartest person on planet earth, with first place occupied by Lex Luthor.
If the Superman villain is generally considered to be between 7 and 9 intellectually, Bruce Wayne is expected to rank between 7 and 8. In terms of IQ, Batman is often compared to a score of 192, although based on what we’ve seen, the real IQ is Bruce Wayne it should be over 200 points.
On the other hand, one cannot expect anything less from an experienced polyglot, strategist with degrees in criminal psychology, natural sciences, mathematics and economics. In short, in the DC Universe You won’t become the best detective in the world by accident.
Next year, Batman’s detective skills are slated to be the focus of the new Batman feature film that stars Robert Pattinson in the title role. By the way, The Batman logo and poster have been officially released.
