10 Times Batman Was Humiliated

3. Creating Brother Eye (and Being Found Out) - Various

It's worth addressing from the very start that, despite what it becomes, Batman's initial reasons for building the artificial intelligence surveillance system known as Brother Eye were actually very fair. After discovering that the Justice League had wiped his memory, the Dark Knight is understandably a little miffed, and uses this anger to create the A.I, intending to prevent a similar scenario happening again.

While this in theory is all well and good, it's worth mentioning that Batman doesn't tell anyone that he's built a robot that watches and judges their every waking move. Even after Ra's Al Ghul uses this database for evil shenanigans, Batman refuses to accept that Brother Eye is too dangerous to keep running, meaning that yet another villain gets their hands on its capabilities before the rest of DC's heroes are even told that the machine exists.

Not only does this earn Batman the ire of basically every superhero going, but it also creates a huge problem when the machine goes rogue that requires Batman to recruit many of his furious teammates to sort, likely causing the Dark Knight to lose even more sleep than he does already.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
