See what I don't get is when exactly was Batman the go-to guy for strategies in the JLA? Seems to me writers like to give him Brainiac level intelligence and dumb down the JLAers a bit just so Bats can actually do something. I have no problem with Bats being a really smart guy, but when the JLA, with people like Mr Terrific, Martian Manhunter and Superman, seem useless without him I get a little annoyed.
