Barry I have a bomb tied to Iris's neck.
If I die she dies. Also I kidnapped her and I am not telling you where she is. Also I threw a few poisionous snakes in there too.
So you can kill me or you can scour the entire planet looking for her. Buh bye now.

Remember when Batman outwitted Darkseid at the literal end of all time, moments before the death of the universe? Yeah.

Oh please. Hed snap all ten of his Lee Press-On Nails in one swipe at Supermans chest, and then spend the last four seconds of his life crying like a bitch.

This is *protection* not attack.
A pretty sound argument could be made for Batman having a contingency for every hero trying to attack the person he is protecting.
But if you pushed it - only WW has never been stopped by Batman. Flash has.

With that roster? Me and GL will fly out into space.
The Batman vs all scenarios are stupid, because it's just major plot armor for batman. The Flash wouldn't even go anywhere near present batman to beat him. He'd just go back in time and stop him being born.
Superman would just fly at lightspeed, pick up batman and take him off world at a moments notice causing him to suffocate in space.Same goes for the Lantern.
Everyone could kill Batman, it's just stories are written for him in such a convenient way that he gets out of things.

Prep time Batman is the dumbest 8-year-old-on-a-playground shit ever and I refuse to acknowledge it.
Flash is the correct choice.
Flash can move faster than light. He could scour the entire planet 1000x in less than second if he wanted to. Or travel back in time.

Flash and Green Lantern are the only real options since they could both take you places the other characters couldn't go. And even though Superman could follow Green Lantern into space, if it's Hal or Kyle they'd whip Supe's ass anyway.
Pick anyone else and Flash kills you himself in an attosecond.

Bat's if his contingencies are up to date, Flash otherwise probably.

Batman's power has never been prep time. It's always been plot armour.

Bruh.
Superman would never even see T'Challa until after being depowered, if at all. Second he signs up to tussle with the Panther his kind is well and truly extinct.
A predictable boyscout is no challenge for the King. Clark would regret ever crossing into Wakanda airspace.
Supes would destroy GL easily.
Why would the Flash let Batman kidnap Iris? lol. If he knows 9 superheroes are after him, he knows what they can use as leverage and will make sure they cant.
But apparently one of the contingency plans is something that can happen before the Flash can react?
Anyway, I was talking about the Flash being the protector. I dont see Batman doing anything that will give him access to the person Flash is protecting. He is just too fast.

Depends on the writer. I bet even Robin could beat Supes or The Flash if the writer so desired.

If Flash is the protector then you can be sure it's on Earth, unless it's that silly Flash that can run through space somehow.
Main problem with Flash being the protector is he could take you to an alternate timeline/future/past/etc...
So yea Flash as protector is probably the winner.

I'd pick Wonder Woman. No reason other than I love the idea of Wonder Woman protecting me. Not sure if she's capable of beating all or any of the others, but maybe before Batman and Supes are about to kill me I'll tell them my mom's name is Martha.
I'd go Batman considering if most of the justice league is trying to kill me their going to use all at their disposal including the watch tower. Batmans hid from the justice league b4 for years. And also batman the type to turn their resources against them like blowing up the thing up then hiding me deep underground lead based bunker. While he slowly takes them out 1 at a time, or just hide and continue working out plans to stop them longer batman has the more screwed the others are. Flash would be the only problem but with 2 day prep time i think batmans got this.
Flash could run me to another universe but it isnt like batman superman and co dont have the means to go dimension hopping.

I'd actually want doctor fate to be the one to protect me

How does he find GL? Dude knows his way around, and also can open space warps to get to far-away places faster.
GL just has to take me to a red sun system and I am all set for however long this is supposed to last.
Batsman would get owned by any one of those other superheroes.
People give his prep time shit too much credit. The only hero on that list he may have a chance at his tony stark/iron man. And I think they are pretty equal, but Tony is smarter.

Well wheres the challenge then? I'll take on all 10 at the same time just because.

Surprised more people aren't picking Green Lantern. He's the most versatile of the bunch with a ton of hax abilities. He can also travel to places where the others can't follow.

Unless Bats gets the speed force, he ain't doing shit to Flash and, by extension, whomever chooses to be protected by him.
Superman can follow, which is enough to keep me from picking any Lantern. Well, maybe Sodam Yat.

As I and someone else said before Batman's power is plot armour. Remove that which he wouldn't have in this scenario as you're the protagonist and he gets immediately owned by everyone.

I don't even know but the responses to this thread are gold so I'm subbing for lols.
Which Green Lantern are we talking about?
If it's Hal protecting me then just give me a gun and I'll shoot myself, save everyone some time.

Batman sucks at escort missions.
Superman will just say 'Martha' and he will just let him laser eye your ass

I figured it was Hal since he's the most well known one. What makes you think he'd be that incompetent?
Bravo.

Superman wouldnt have to enter Wakanda airspace. He could drop the moon on Wakanda.
Black Panther wouldnt know what hit him. Hell, he got smacked around by Bucky Barnes in Civil War. Thats barely above getting beaten on by green-panties-era Robin on the scale of embarrassing fight moments.
Hal Jordan would either get drunk and run you over or just bore you to death. That's if he doesn't snap and destroy the entire universe.
Choose wisely.
"Yo Peter you still got that lab? Cool, here is the lowdown on these fools"
Cause very few people read the original story?
Marvel heroes are more grounded in reality; many are 'simply' superhumans as opposed to gods.
You can mask bad writing by simply overpowering a hero to a galactical degree, which often happens with Superman. It's no wonder (no pun intended) that Batman is the most popular DC hero cause he is somewhat relatable.
Spider-Man's actually not a terrible choice considering the ridiculous events he always manages to become involved in but ignores comic book canon to overcome and survive.
He's inexplicably punched out Superman level foes like Firelord and Hulk.
Not only survived but defeated the Sinister Six
Single-handedly defeated the X-Men
But then, you have to factor in the Parker luck (which is almost always bad) and, eh... yeah, I think I'll stick with Supes.

Even crazy-ass Frank Miller, the godfather of prep time Batman, just admitted that it's all bullshit in the last issue of Dark Knight 3. Bruce was left profoundly shook while watching Supes dispose of a bunch of kryptonians in an instant. He finally realized that he's never actually fought him at anywhere near full power.
Parker luck only ensures his girlfriend fucks some other dude while he is busy saving your life
