10 Most Badass Batman Moments Ever
3. Batman Defeats A Criminal With A Motor Neuron Disease (JLA: World War III)
Prometheus is essentially the opposite of Batman. His parents were dirty hippies who murdered and committed crimes indiscriminately with their son in tow. Their crime spree ended when law enforcement finally tracked them down and riddled them with bullets, something Prometheus witnessed, making a promise to himself that he would make it his life’s mission to kill anyone who upholds the law.
Spending his formative years training his mind and body to become a more effective killing machine, Prometheus’ physical and mental abilities are said to rival that of Batman (well, almost).
Prometheus faced off against the Caped Crusader a handful of times, proving himself to be a worthy adversary. Batman deduces that the helmet Prometheus wears is capable of downloading skills and strategies directly into Prometheus’ brain a la Keanu in The Matrix, which gives him a significant advantage in battle.
To get around this, Batman tinkers with Prometheus’ head gear, replacing all of the fancy fighting abilities with the motor skills of Stephen Hawking, the brilliant scientist who has ALS. Prometheus declared that Batman had cheated; Batman simply retorted “Not cheating. Winning.”
