Ozymandias from Watchmen was literally the smartest man in the world. Also, I think that he might have been richer. He would have hired so many people just so he could make his plan a reality. I could see it now:

Superman: Ozymandias, I'm glad we got here before you went through with all this "assassinate Batman" stuff. I mean, did you seriously think that you would actually do it.

Ozymandias: Clark, I'm not Lex Luthor. Did you actually think that I would tell you my master plan with there being a slight chance of you stopping it. I did it thirty-five minutes ago.

Then Superman would start crying like a damn bitch.
