10 Different Ways Batman Has Been Defeated
6. Sent Back In Time By Omega Rays
Final Crisis is a fantastic comic book. It's also almost entirely illegible without either an intimate knowledge of the minutiae of the DC Universe stretching back a good half century, or an innate tuning into Grant Morrison's frequency (a thing which few people can boast; even Morrison at times is second guessing himself).
Despite being so hard to grasp at times, it's one of the more daring and experimental crossover events in comics history, with cosmic villain Darkseid achieving his ultimate victory: in a world where good always prevails (ie superhero comics) the bad guys finally won. Superman was gone, Wonder Woman become a villain, everyone else otherwise incapacitated.
It's up to Batman to take down Darkseid, by using a gun that fires an omega ray bullet which travels through time. Which promptly explodes, sending the Caped Crusader into the distant past. Which was Darkseid's plan all along, meaning he's probably the only person more over-prepared than Batman.
