I love batman, but I fucking hate how overcompensatingly OP they make him out to be in a lot of his stories, especially ones involving other superheroes. He's borderline omniscient in terms of intellect, he's a master of every single fighting style known to man, has transformed his body to peak human perfection, has a master's degree in most major fields, is a master at every weapon known to man, is the worlds greatest tactician, detective, and martial artist, and of course his "prep time" means that he can invariably face down any entity no matter how powerful if he's given the time; half of these would take a normal human their entire life to achieve (if not multiple lives) and batman isn't extraordinary, he's still genetically a normal human. His prep time feats are the worst offender of him being OP, even going as far as him being able to conquer the multiverse when he turned evil (i.e the batman who laughs).

I see most of this as more of a consequence of him having to be written to be comparable to the literal gods he works with on the daily (i.e the justice league) and I think he works better when he's confined to stories not involving other superheroes. Superman can bench press a planet, Flash can run so fast he can outpace time itself, WW fights greek deities on the daily, the Green lantern has access to the most powerful weapon in the universe, etc. and so to compensate batman has to have ridiculously overpowered feats in order to lazily validate his existence among these characters.

I get it's all fiction and he can be written to be as OP as the writer wants, but speaking as a batman fan I prefer him more in stories where he's clearly above human but not vastly so. Putting him on par with gods like with the other justice league members requires a lot more suspension of disbelief and for me personally, makes him a lot less intresting.
