Okay this lack of foresight on Batman's part certainly knocks him down the 'world's smartest' list a little.

'I made him' girl, no shit.

'This won't leave you insane... forever', that's impossible to anticipate!

Unless he knows full well it won't leave him anything close to insane, never mind forever, and is just bullshitting him for effect

It's about time Batman learns to *checks notes*... not use psychedelic drugs created by murderous psychopaths to torture defeated enemies.

What the fuck, Bruce?

... Okay, now I really want this to end with the god damn gunrunner getting the crap kicked out of him by the 'kids' before Bruce tracks him down.

Babs hacks his tech, Cass hands him his ass. Easy-peasy.

Then Jason puts a bullet in his head.

So this is the issue when Batman operates primarily as an Avenger... er... Spirit of Vengeance... that is... a Punisher of... well, when he's more about making the bad guys pay then being a Defender (you know what, I give up. You know what I mean).

What he does here is inflict a terrible punishment on someone who has done terrible things. Not act to ensure that he's unable to commit such acts in the future.
