Should Batman leave the Justice League ?

[TheDarkKnightReturns]

Someone else stated this.

On the Justice League you have;

A guy with knowledge on advanced alien science that can think at super speed
A guy with a ring that taps into an ancient universal database of knowledge
A forensic scientist who can think at super speed
A living computer that can tap into almost every system on earth and process them at super speed
A king with access to advanced ancient technology
A princess that was raised to command an army of warriors

As a Batman fan myself, I would not mind Batman leaving the Justice League. Let face it, Batman cannot contribute anything of value in the Justice League and he is cleary misuses. He is human after all. Not his fault. Grant Morrisson knew this from the start. He was looking at giving Batman aka Bruce Wayne a meaning outside of Gotham and the Justice League with Batman Inc. Batman Inc. is where Batman/Bruce Wayne cleary belongs, fits. Leave Gotham at the hands of Batman/Dick Grayson and him too does not need to get involved with the Justice League.

But no, DC thinks Batman should stick in a team composed of godlike creatures. Batman Inc. is clever, fresh and really plays on Bruce Wayne's inner strengths. It something grandiose and realistic for a guy without superpowers. It should be Bruce Wayne logical progression as a crime fighter. Because at the end of day Bruce Wayne is a crime fighter not a godlike being.

Well, I know I would be completely fine with Batman removed from the Justice League roster.
But I have no faith that it will happen (or if it does, that it would be permanent), He's simply too popular.

I guess his purpose on the team is to ground it by not being godlike. I also think he's a lot more logical than the other members of the team.

[Baggie_Saiyan]

The team is hardly full of godlike beings, that is such an exaggeration, the only two that are close to that are Supes and WW hence why they were not affected by the Amazo Virus. Batman fits fine imo, also he makes a good leader because the other members seem soft. Though I guess WW and AM wouldn't be bad leaders.

Batman in his own books has been pulling power armor that pretty much makes him on par with the other League members recently, he only doesn't seem to do that in the League books themselves.

But would sales of Justice League drop without Batman?

[Black Angel]

I honestly wouldn't mind but i doubt it shall happen.

He's a member of the Justice League because he's the best tactical mind on the planet and one of the best heroes in the DCU
That's what it used to be about nowadays people think its a group of the most powerful beings in the DCU(which wouldn't include Flash,Superman, or WW)
In any case if there's any doubt about why Batman's on the League he's been proving it a lot lately what with taking on Darkseid and beating the entire JL in endgame

I'm sure DC will remove its most popular character because he's the only one without powers since that's the rationale behind the argument for Batman not being needed on the league.

Who knows maybe Batman v Superman will finally kill this argument for good

[Sirzechs]

Well no he shouldn't unless your ignoring his area, "Street level".

In what was some of the laziest writing I have seen. He literally beat Barry by making him trip.

As for the question it won't happen because Bruce is too popular and is considered a character for the readers to relate to.

No. It's been done before, and I don't believe it made either the BATMAN or JUSTICE LEAGUE franchises better.

It sure wouldn't help sales-wise, that's for sure.

[TheDarkKnightReturns]

It sure wouldn't help sales-wise, that's for sure.

Removing Batman from the Justice League should not be a problem sales wise if DC reintroduce Batman Inc. as a regular series to compensate for the predicted lost of a Justice League title without Batman.

I honestly believe that a well written Batman Inc. book can outsell the current Justice League tittle sales.

Removing Batman from the Justice League should not be a problem sales wise if DC reintroduce Batman Inc. as a regular series to compensate for the predicted lost of a Justice League title without Batman.

I'm not sure sales would be transferred in total, though. There would be quite a few Batman fans who would be annoyed that the most popular superhero of them all was leaving the title featuring the world's greatest superheroes.
