JLA: The Tower Of Babel
Presuming Justice League does well in November, we can probably expect many sequels to pop out in the future. Once they wrap up the Darkseid arc that they seem to be building toward, the next thing the studio tackles should be the acclaimed “Tower of Babel” storyline.
In it, Batman is at his most paranoid. It’s revealed that he has intricate failsafes designed to kill or incapacitate every single Justice League member by exploiting their weaknesses, whether it be mental or physical. Of course, that information falls into the wrong hands and the League is practically wiped out.
Not only would this present a great challenge for every League member to face, but it would also cause an intense rift between Batman and the rest of the heroes. Sure, he developed ways to kill all of them, but is he wrong to have that in case they go rogue? The entire DCEU is built on the idea that the world is sort of afraid of these super-powered beings, which leads to the establishment of the Suicide Squad. It’s that sort of depth that these DCEU movies should strive to have, not only because it gives them edgier material to work with, but also because the idea of Batman kicking every hero’s butt is basically a dream come true.
