I think Scott Synder only nerfed the JL for Endgame and Metal also Metal downgrade hasn't been that bad. I don't remember the other times he screwed over JL so bad.

Thats what I was thinking, Barry simply went to the guy he knew could figure it out.
It's not so much Scott alone, it's the whole trend of different writers doing it to varying degrees and characters.
Like you have Scott and his Endgame and now Metal (agree that it's not serious here yet)
But then you also have stuff like Injustice where every single member of the League save Batman turned evil.
And you can sort of see the pattern being repeated elsewhere now. Teen Titans is now mostly a Damian book and Suicide Squad is being lead by the fruitcake Harley Quinn.
Depends if the reader was already on the fence about that book, or if they realized they may be going a bit overboard with the amount of bat-books they take home.
I would argue that you really dont need to be that smart to take out a bunch of people you regularly encounter and who you eventually find out have some weakness' that can be exploited.
Not to mention that more than a few times do plans like these require the 'defender' to pre-emptively strike and take the target down before they have much of a chance to fight back.
I can understand having your top character get the win. My question is why we need the battle at all. Is there some reason we need Batman to show up the League as opposed to beating Zod, Cheetah, Ares, Sinestro ... As annoying as the Bat-god idea is I could probably accept it better if it wasn't automatically conflated with the Marvel approach of needed the good guys to be at odds with each other rather than with villains.

This argument gets used to counter the "Why doesn't Batman beat his rogues" question a lot, and it never holds water with me. Batman can spend a billion dollars to build a warsuit that lets him stomp the entire Justice League with contemptuous ease? Then why doesn't he spend $250,000,000 and build a suit about a third that powerful and sweep Gotham's streets clean in a single night?
Joker, Riddler, and Bane are smart, but they've never demonstrated ANYTHING that leads one to believe they'd have any answer for something like that. Then, Bruce just needs to devote some more money to once and for all build a prison that his enemies CANNOT escape. At least not nearly as easily as they escape Arkham, at any rate.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
--Lord Alfred Tennyson--

I wasn't remotely saying I root for the supervillains. I always want the superheroes to win. But unlike in reality, the vast majority of readers like the Joker, Lex, the Cheetah, the Rogues, etc. to return every now and then to mix it up with their favorites. This has been going on since my parents were babies during WWII and I imagine won't change in the future.
