They recognized it was a mistake and apologized years after the event. Some of his 'closest friends' erased his mind and then proceeded to live their lives as though nothing had happened.

Batman, who formulated complex plans on how to take down his closest friends, designed a flipping satellite to spy on them

And I can see why, given what happened to him when he did trust them.

I'm not defending OMAC, but I'm just saying, maybe the JLA shouldn't have given Bruce such an excellent reason to assume they weren't to be trusted. By which I mean, shouldn't have had Identity Crisis written onto them.

Because Bruce was a complete and utter cunt who was quite happy to put the lives of an number of loved ones of his collegues in danager by saying "you can't remove the information from the villain's mind, despite their avowed promise to spread it".

While I can just about overlook the Joker's script immunity and Bruce's direct culpability for that lunatic's kill count, it was pretty much IDC that booted Bruce squarely into irredeemability. They should have told him to fuck off out of the League the moment he was willing to put himself (and, you know, ignoring a very very obvious remediation technique for his rogues galllery) ahead of the lives of innocents.

You mean Bruce is a 'cunt' because he believes in the sanctity of the human mind.

How dare he react violently to being mind-wiped by people he trusted. How dare he think that any solution that aims to break people instead of curing them, that violates their self, is wrong.

They should have told him to fuck off out of the League

No no, instead they chose to keep on using Batman's skills and remove the obstacle that stood in the way.

Yes he is. He'd rather his principle be more important than the life civilians and loved ones. They were excising a specific piece of information (and possibly also the memory of having committed the rape) from Light's mind.

You'll notice I said nothing about approving of their appallingly bad decision to mindwipe him, I said they should have told him to fuck off the moment he put himself before his duty to others. After pointing out the number of people who have suffered and died because of enemies knowing who they are.
