Full disclosure. This writer loves Batman.

However, part of loving someone is being able to tell them they have a bit of mustard on their shirt.

Having said that... Bruce, you're too powerful.

There seems to be nothing Bruce Wayne can't do as Batman. His intellect, training, toys, and money allow him to eventually work his way out of virtually any problem, even being killed by Darkseid and traveling through time to get back home.

He has shown time and again that he has contingencies in place to kill all his partners in the Justice League, and then has back-up plans to back-up plans. He plays dirty when he needs to and uses people to carry on 'the mission.'

The most realistic part of Batman's character is that DC has shown us several times that eventually, being Batman wears Bruce down until he needs an exoskeleton like in Kingdom Come or armour like in Batman Beyond.

What keeps him from being boring is his personality, his rogue's gallery, and the wide variety of Batman Family members who keep Bruce grounded and remembering that under all that latex and Kevlar, there's still a scared little boy who watched his parents die.
