Maybe... but then ... You don't see people saying how lame Thanos is losing to stark. You don't even see any memes about it.
Quite the opposite.
But ultimately...
Me niether, but I gotta say...
You have the Narrative wrong. The basis of what your saying is STEEPED in having the narrative wrong.
In ancient times yeah there were countless stories about mortals who tried to challenge the god and were punished.
Our MODERN NARRATIVE is that Man kills God(s). Not Giants. Not titans. Man.
Look at every story that isn't a HORROR story.... and even in some of them and its Cthulhu getting knocked out by a boat.
Men defeat the Gods.
We steal fire from them, we lock them away, banish, them, Ignore them into submission.
Yelling that "HE'S JUST A MERE MORTAL" adds to Batmans mythos more than anything else. . .
and yes I get it... Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest
To many people look like "Bmx Bandit/Angel Summoner" but we've long sense left that idea behind and just accepted that Batman ans superman are a team that needs each other... for... reasons.
So much of what everyone says here is just echoing Captain Atom from that one cartoon.

and as funny as that is...
We just had Dark Knights metal...
At some point you should look at it from the narrative sense that there is SO much more going on with this guy that just "My power is money" ...
You ever check out One-Punch man and realize... this guys some kind of high level reality warper? Think that Marvels sliding time scale is a joint whammy set forth between
Franklin Richards and the Scarlet witch?
There are some things in comics that don't make sense unless you MAKE them make sense.
But you're not likely going to get bat man to go back to being Sherlock Holmes: Ninja.
Its silly to me to even think that we could get back to there.
You'd have to remake the universe and erase everything that has ever been done with the trinity, and even then... soon as someone wants to do a worlds finest story.
You're stuck with
A. BatGod
or
B. Everyone else is an idiot, and lack rudimentary problem solving. because great mystery? Its really hard to write, people.
Thats just my thoughts.
