Batman may be lauded as a tactical genius, but really he's just a pessimist. A recent battle with Green Arrow shows that Bruce expects the worst even when the evidence suggests otherwise, getting credit for his insight when he happens to be right.
The most recent mistake that Batman has made revealed the reason why he’s regarded as a genius in the DC Universe. Although the Dark Knight lacks powers, he makes up for it with his mind.
Throughout his comic book history, Batman has gained a reputation for his high intellect and detective skills. Each of his rogues tend to challenge one component of his abilities. Whether it is Bane challenging Bruce’s physical strength, or the Riddler testing his investigative obsession, there haven’t been many times when both have come into play at once.
Similarly, Green Arrow had thought Bruce would be a vampire by this point. In contrast, it makes sense for Oliver to be afraid, as it would be game over if Batman had joined their legion. After the scene concludes, both heroes brush it off. It’s especially embarrassing for Bruce, who should know better by this point.
He once had detailed plans for how to take out each member of the Justice League if they ever turned against him. At the time, it seemed to be a responsible, logic-based strategy, but now such a plan comes across as fear-based and paranoid. Batman has essentially made his whole career on expecting the worst, leveraging his primary mindset of pessimism. A lot of the time, he turns out to be right. With such apocalyptic circumstances, it’s easy to empathize with Batman on this one. .
