Request: the best (or worst) of Batdickery

[starwolf_oakley]

During the 30 Days of Scans, many of us have said Batman's biggest flaw/drawback/etc. is when he's a jerk to other superheroes. Sometimes Batman is a jerk for a reason, sometimes just to be a jerk, sometimes because he's Batman.

So, how about some examples of Batman being a jerk to other superheroes? And if Batman is being a jerk just because he's Batman?



From INFINITE CRISIS #1.


From JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #0.

Wow, uh when did all three of them become douches?

I know Batman is typically a loner, but he's been a people person at heat. Robins, bat girls, extended characters, the league, he's quite social. AND as the only full blooded human, who lets face facts is smarter than half opf the league (Saying Wally, Plas, etc) it'd make sense he'd have plans.

GBatman is soooo easy to write terribly, it's quite sad.

I agree with this comment.

Personally I think he should not be in a League at all. He works best when he is a Detective in the crime/spy/adventure genres where he deals with more grounded situations. Brave and the Bold and B:TAS did this well, imo.

The logic there could be that he surrounds himself with people he approves of, who meet his rigid standards of character - in the League, he can't do that, and that makes him cranky.
