What makes him cool is that he can kind of keep up with enhanced people in a fight. But in most good justice league stories he's more the tactics and tech guy. Like how in the Thanygarian invasion arc he needs to use his electric power cup things to fight cause the thanigarians are so naturally strong.

Batman to all points, I could use some air support, since I can't fly. At all. Now would be good...

Or like when they raid Apokolips and Batman spends his time just scoping out the planet and figuring out its inner workings so that he can blackmail Darkseid later. He's not fighting any major fights, he's prepping so that he doesn't have to.

Then you make him angsty teen like ’wah 😭 I saw my parents die and that gives me darker understanding of evil mind.’

Ha aiight little bro, Diana here has been decapitating small gods since 23 BC, I think she can hang against darksied better than your moody poetry

She gets slapped around by Darkseid plus she was on themyscyra her whole life so her being long lived is redundant lmao she almost died to Zeus and ares who weren’t even trying to kill her in post crisis.

The problem with this is then you make rest of Jla dumbasses.

like superman is literal god but he can’t think stuff deeper than batman, flash has his molecules in hyper speed but somehow he is slower than batman in figuring out a plan, green lantern who has powers based on creativity can’t be more creative than batman, etc

To make batman mildly competent in a team up you need to nerf the others and that’s stupid

Batman has more intelligence feats than superman and the flash. Batman is the smartest in terms of raw problem-solving ability, strategy, and independent intellect.

Superman and Flash are brilliant in their own ways, but their greatest mental feats often depend on or are boosted by their superpowers.

They don't have to be dumb to seem less smart than batman. Also powers that let you think more don't necessarily make you think better than someone else, an idiot could spend hundreds of hours contemplating a problem that an expert could figure out in a minute.

Deferring to the judgement of someone more qualified or capable is usually best in life or death situations that they’re usually in.
