Who are DC's Best tacticians?

[JackDaw]

Midnighter, of course, because of his ability to compute millions of scenarios till he finds right one. Effectively he’s got the power set needed to achieve Batman type feats.

But...on same logic...any character with a good brain and ability to think super fast ought to be a good to great tactician. So Barry Allen ought to be up there. And Superman ought to be near top, if we reject modern tendency to write him as a wee bit thick.

Being intelligent and being a tactician are not exactly the same thing. Though with Rebirth Superman being the same as Post-Crisis, I would say he is a tactician, but maybe not the best.

In the early JLA comics it was always Hawkman or Atom who came up with plans....but obviously that changed

[Flash Gordon]

Superman, when written correctly.

Lol at Tim Drake and Nightwing. I think Jason is the only Robin I'd put up there.

Seriously?

I don't think Jason is better at anything than any of those 2. Mayb he can outfight Spoiler or something, but that's about it as bat-people go.

[Lee Stone]

Old school Amanda Waller.

[HandofPrometheus]

Old school Amanda Waller.

Was just about to say Amanda Waller.

[Tony Stark]

You should Read more Red Hood like UTRH and Lost days. You're leaving Jason way to short on credit here lol.

[Photon Torme]

Krypto!!!!!

[Rac7d*]

Bruce Wayne
Lex Luthor
Tim Drake

So what happened to Tims plan in Forever Evil

[Elmo]

He's brilliant in his own way but nowhere near the intellect of Tim Drake or Dick Grayson

[My Two Cents]

I would add The Riddler to the list.

[Robotman]

Constantine could be in consideration but the problem is that he doesn’t care about who gets hurt or killed on the way to getting the job done. He can match wits with anyone but he doesn’t always play fair.

Jason always gets pushed as the dumb reckless one that they ignore his intelligence. I agree with Tim being a great tactician but not Dick. Dick is a great leader but not a really good tactician, those two are not the same thing. I think it was in the Morrison Batman and Robin book where Dick says that he 'likes to jump first without a safety net' or something along those lines.

Thats very dependent on the writer, Dick has been written smarter than in his current incarnation, Tim was originally not as smart as his current incarnation and Jason is really poorly treated by the current Batman writers.
