After Supergirl crash-landed on Earth, she had great difficulty adapting to her newfound powers. To ensure she didn't misuse her strength, Wonder Woman transported her to her home, Themyscira, for training. Because her cousin, Superman, disapproved and Batman didn't trust Supergirl, the two superheroes headed to Themyscira to monitor her.

Meanwhile, the Lord of Apokolips, Darkseid, learned from a vision that Supergirl was destined to become a harbinger of death. Desiring new ways to wreak havoc upon the cosmos, Darkseid opened a Boom Tube upon Themyscira and sent an army of Doomsday clones to lay waste to its inhabitants while his lackeys kidnapped Supergirl.

Despite the fact the island is populated by Amazons, Batman put himself in the frontline against the Doomsday, only armed with an axe. Not only that, Bats is the one who leads the charge!!

Now, everyone loves Bats but it is ludicrous to watch the Dark Knight effortlessly take down multiple incarnations of a monster stronger than Superman. Although these creatures are described as "animates" and so, wouldn't be as strong as the original Doomsday, this moment still comes across as pure fan-service.
