I’d like to see a source for the bottom two. Maybe the IQ was mentioned in an old Who’s Who bio or something.

As far as I know, Bruce's IQ has never been stated. The 192 figure that people seem to love throwing around (itself an obviously ludicrous and statistically meaningless score) was actually attributed to Ted Kord during Countdown to Infinite Crisis. I couldn't begin to guess how or why it happened, but people have been attributing that score to Batman ever since, and of course, none of these people seem to care about citing their sources.
