Was Batman in the right to have such deadly contingency plans for the League? Pretending to be friendly with them just to find out their weakness? Should he have at least told them prior to when all hell broke loose?

>Should he have at least told them prior to when all hell broke loose?
Yeah. What Batman antagonist is going to be a threat against Superman or Wonder Woman or Green Lantern?
Joker Poison Ivy Prometheus Scarecrow and Clayface have defeated all 3 of those characters
Hal Jordan got beat by those guys?
Yep. He also got beat by Batman and Robin so no surprise there
>He also got beat by Batman and Robin so no surprise there
ASBAR requires everything to be stupid to work anon.
>Tfw Clayface absorbed WW back when she had the Clay backstory
That’s pretty wild in concept
whatever antagonist has plot armor that week
I always wanted to see Riddler go against Superman tho
>Clark uses his reporting/investigation skills to defeat the Riddler
Would be kino
>deadly
Did he kill them?
He purposefully designed them to be as non-deadly as possible. He makes a paragraph how it’s hard to make contingencies for Clark because Kryptonite by its nature will kill him if he uses too much, so he had to make a new type that is crippling but won’t kill him no matter what
I mean he gave The Flash epileptic seizures at the speed of light that felt like they lasted for days when it was only 20 minutes and Wonder Woman was gonna die for a heart attack
That's pretty deadly imo
it's alwasy right to have contingency plans for worst case scenarios, and for what I remmember they weren't that deadly, plus it has the benefit to been usefull in cases of other characters with similar powers.
He should have told them that the plans existed but batman must be batman and be an asshold from time to time
what's the contingency plan against Batman?
Failsafe (a robot Batman)
>is defeated by Batman anyway
>surviving an orbital drop
Show him a criminal/terrorist assassin pussy
psychological attacks and to be cut from his resources
he has a soft spot for his dead parents, but like the fuck is that gonna do against an evil Batman?
tell him Gotham crime has plummeted to 0% and the Joker has reformed
The Justice League itself. Even Batgod can't take on everyone swarming him at once.
Yes he can. The recent Failsafe arc confirmed he was lying to them to be nice when he said that, Superman himself said out loud the league can't take him when he has contingencies against all of them. That's why he built Failsafe.
Oh you sweet summer child
They had the element of surprise and he STILL fucked them all up
and that's while he was good, imagine if he turned evil and became The Batman Who Laughs...
I always liked how Jason instinctively knew some bad shit was about to happen and tried to fire off at Batman but was half a second too late
female Joker clone that's asking to be raped
Yes. We've seen countless universes with evil heroes and mind control is a frequent occurrence.
>Batman can come up with ways to permanently disable the members of the strongest beings in the world yet can't stop a guy with clown make up robbing the same bank every week
It's been a while, but from what I remember the real problem wasn't so much the contingencies but Batman's years of being a jerk who didn't trust any of them and thus gave them no reason to continue trusting him.
Only person on this board who actually reads comics before positing about them
If he told them about the plans then if they went evil they'd take him out first, defeating the whole purpose
Heck, in a more recent issue Hal confirmed if he went evil he would kill Batman first specifically because he knows Batman has contingencies and is therefore the biggest threat
