Who do you think is the smartest, most intelligent person in the DC Universe?
For me Lex.

Currently should be Lex
"Dangerous Zombie! Transform!! Click And Load! Buggle UP! Danger! Danger! Death The Crisis! Dangerous Zombie!" Kamen Rider Gemn
(In first he's mysterious and evil and now he's psycho and crazy and insane and evil AND "The Meme Lord"LOL.)
Probably Lex, his own ego just gets in the way.
Probably followed by Mr. Terrific, The Brain...
I like the idea from Justice League Action that Mr. Terrific writes those "Smartest People Lists" and deliberately ranks himself lower than accurate so that people like Luthor will underestimate him.
So maybe I think it's Michael Holt!
Nah, it's Brainiac Five, hands down. But I like Holt up there on comparable ground with Luthor!
"You know the deal, Metropolis. Treat people right or expect a visit from me."
Well, according to Doomsday Clock it's either Bats or Lex, which makes sense, IMHO.
Keep in mind that you have about as much chance of changing my mind as I do of changing yours.
Batman should never be the smartest person on earth.
Thats fucking asanine and character shilling of the highest level. Luthor ? Maybe. His whole schtick is to be the Brains to Supermans brawn. But Batman ? Fuck off.
Brainiac
If it's just human, Luthor
The New 52 lineup for smartest people trying to cure Superdoom is Luthor, Batman, (I forgot if Holt is included since he transferred to Earth 2 at some point), Ray Palmer, and Cyborg (instant internet download)
I don’t think their should be a clear cut smartest. I also don’t think their should be a clear cut strongest or fastest. Ambiguity is way more interesting then certainty in fiction.
If I had my way it would be Mr. Terrific as the smartest man in the hero column. Lex Luthor the smartest man in the villain column.

Cyborg and Brainiac have the benefits of their tech to boost their processing power and information storage. Although Vic Stone was a fairly smart dude even before his accident if I recall correctly, even if he was prized mostly for his athletics.
But as far as natural intellect I think it's Terrific or Luthor.
