[DC, General] How far does Batman plan?

We know he's the essence of crazy-prepared, but how many contingency plans does he have for any given situation? Sure, there's a Plan A, a Plan B, a Plan C... but is there a Plan L? A Plan Z?

How much does he plan for the everyday stuff, versus the special occasions? How does he compare to other chessmasters like Luthor?

Batman works with, fights against and in some cases is friends with people who have the power to completely destroy the world without too much trouble. It may seem that whenever a world-ending threat pops up it gets defeated, but that only happens because someone with the brains and the ability has put in place the groundwork to be able to defeat that threat. While there are many, *many* heroes, how many think about things like this and how many just hit the guy/girl in front of them. 

Batman cannot fall back on his powers or strength to win the day, he will often only have what is in his belt, on his body and maybe one of his machines to fall back on, so he can't make a single mistake. One slip and he's dead, maybe we're *all* dead. 

Batman has thought about how he might fight every hero and villain out there and in many cases, where he would need special equipment or circumstances, he has put this in place, just in case. As well as that he has backups and backups to those backups for the biggest threats. 

He has also thought generally about scenarios and how he could and would deal with them, from a mass joker gas attack, to the raising of the dead. Again, he knows what he would do and is ready for it. 

On a day to day basis he is ready to deal with any scenario he has judged to be anything more than possible and has the supplies for a more general response to a whole lot more. Batman's whole thing is that no matter what comes he is *ready* and if he's not then just wait 30 seconds for the backup plan to kick.
