Yes, Justice League Doom.
Yes, Justice League Doom.
I still liked it. They brought in some cool characters and made it interesting for me still.
Here's a panel where Prometheus, who is basically an evil Batman, takes down Flash and Green Lantern at the same time. While the Green Lantern thing is a little screwy, he manages to neutralize Flash simply by lying about motion detectors that will set off bombs if Flash moves faster than a normal person:
Terrorism != winning. Flash still wins the fight, he just kills a bunch of innocents. Which presumably there aren't in a straight battle.
Eh? Flash doesn't win anything; he gets straight-up shot in the chest. Prometheus only loses due to some questionable writing involving Catwoman and, I believe, Batgirl trading costumes to confuse him, allowing them to beat him in close-combat. No actual members of the JLA are involved in taking down Prometheus because he beat them all.

Stretching his "power" to much just breaks the stories. No one wants to read about how Batman defeated the 5th dimensional god using a paperclip, a straw and a rubber band all by himself while the rest of the JLA got shit on. It's silly.
That's true, but if that's the case, there's absolutely no rule that Batman is going to wait around to get his but kicked. His entire "power" revolves around the need to fight on his terms, so if he is caught off guard in a situation he's not prepared for, there's no rule that says he can't fall back to collect himself.
That's true. His power isn't a crutch for bad writing. All I'm saying is that for Batman to even exist in the same world as the other JLA members, his "power" has to be taken as far as theirs. Basically, his "strategery" is on the same power level as Superman's bullshit, Flash's speed, and Plastic Man's plasticity.
finally some real logic!
That's my point. He shouldn't be at their level. You don't see Nightwing running around space and shooting Gods with guns or killing white martians by himself. They should just stick him in Gotham and keep him on the Justice League as purely a reference.
I think that's the issue, though: Nightwing isn't on the JLA, so he's not meant to battle the same types of threats. And I'm not arguing whether or not he should be on the JLA; all I'm saying is that the Batman that is on the JLA and the Batman that's fighting in Injustice is the Batman whose power of being a badass has to be on par with all of the other crazy powers that exist in that world.
Psssht, haters gonna hate.
I honestly don't know a great deal about the Flash, but couldn't he pull something crazy like vibrating his hand through Superman's brain, or some equally ridiculous feat?
I don't think its as free as it sounds. Otherwize the Justice League wouldn't need anyone else to do anything.
Flash beats Superman all day any day. The character is busted, however he will probably lose the popularity contest every time because all he does is "run fast".
