Batman, nowadays mostly portrayed as the all-knowing, undefeatable badass, makes a very human mistake in Justice League #34 and messes things up. He admits to it, literally saying he "blew it" and that he was "stupid."
It's about time someone actually wrote a story like this and I'm curious if it's going to lead to a self-aware introspection for Batman, realizing he's NOT perfect and NOT the smartest/most skilled in a room, and that he's a human being capable of making mistakes.
Do you think this is a step in the right direction for Batman? Or will it be forgotten once the arc is over due to the public still fawning over BatGod?

Have you not been reading King's batman? Or Tec?
Have you not been on these boards since the start of Rebirth?
Wasn't that what War or Jokes and Riddles was all about? Didn't he Just say that in his own title just weeks back?
Hasn't that been the theme since Rebirth and still people can't get enough. Batgod will be back I'm sure but right it's okay to see his imperfections that just makes his achievements greater when you know he is so flawed.
Truth is Bat-God or damaged man child who makes mistakes, talks to his dead mum Bat people love him regardless.Last edited by CPSparkles; 12-06-2017 at 02:41 AM.

Well said. Also, if you read this week's Batman, the way Superman talks about Batman is pretty great, and in this vein.

Batman makes all sorts of mistakes under Morrison, Snyder, etc. So it's always a good bit of exaggeration to say he's never presented as making mistakes or being defeated.
Writers always have Batman suffer some losses to villains in arcs before he finally corrects course to defeat them.Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

They don`t always show him being vocal about it but that`s the majority of depictions you got since the heyday of the Grim era.
Maybe we are witnessing the comeback of the Bronze era Batman who was not above admitting his shortcomigs and actually looked human.

I do believe a transformation for Batman heavily required. As technology progressing, so does the characters need to change with time.
