Worst armor ever?

[captainbellman]

Well, it's not armour, it's skin.

But-- but what happened with Dreamslayer?!

BATMAN: "I *did* fight an entire nation. And I won."
KILLER FROST: "Well, with the help of a small army of that nation's insurgents, not to mention the rest of your team. I mean, the book's called JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA, not BATMAN AND SOME GUYS HE FOUND ON CRAIGSLIST. In fact, it was Vixen's poisonous-frog maneuver that really--"
BATMAN: "Nope! It was all me."
LOBO: "Somebody read a bunch of those old JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL comics and really bought into the part where 'Batman's a huge dickburger to everyone,' didn't they? Feetal's gizz, that's supposed to be MY thing."
BATMAN: "I flattened this whole country with one punch."

Also:

BATMAN: "Civilian custody for super-terrorists doesn't thrill me, Vixen. I mean, I love Jim Gordon and all, but Arkham Asylum is about as secure as Donald Trump's Twitter password. I also hate when the government does it, because then you get a Suicide Squad, and conscripting old villains to do hero's work [looks around at Lobo, and Clayface who's wandered in for some reason] is just indefensible. What I'm saying is, imprisoning super-people should be the super-people's job, and since I don't trust any non-Gotham super-people that much, except maybe Clark this week, I feel like WE should be the ones--"
VIXEN: "Sorry, Batman, but if it makes you feel better, I funded these cells myself and got them developed by your old friends at WayneTech."
BATMAN: "...I guess that'll have to do. [mutters] Really need to start paying more attention at the board meetings..."

I unironically love what an asshole, frat boy, fan boy JLA!Batman can be.

[joetuss]

All I got from that was Batman is awesome.

[cygnia]

"...it couldn't hurt to contemplate them..."

So, DC's version of Civil War incoming then...

[shadowpsykie]

huh? I don't get the connection...

[arilou_skiff]

Wait, what is Dormammu doing in the DCU?

[lizard_of_aus]

The Extremists are DC's designated stand-ins for particular Marvel supervillains, if ever they want to tell a story with them. Here, we see the counterparts for Dormammu and Doctor Doom. There's also versions of Doc Ock, Sabertooth, Magneto etc.

Uh, since when is Batman against civilian custody for super-terrorists? His villains go to Arkham Asylum, not Takron-Galtos. Bruce has never been in favor of superpeople running their own justice system.

Depends how you define "Super terrorist", most of Batman's foes don't have much in the way of actual superhuman powers; Poison Ivy, Clayface (now reformed) Bane has enanced strangth... Most of the bad guys powers come from editorial fiat "Joker can be in seven different places across the country at the same time in "Death of the Family" just BECAUSE!

Vixen was pretty awesome :)

There's something about the poison frog's expression that just kills me. "Oh, wait til my Mum finds out about this."
