Once Again, Batman Is Allowed To Stick His Nose Wherever He Likes

About the new Justice League International book. Since it's supposed to be composed of heroes from all over the globe, do you think DC should have used that as an opportunity to spotlight someone from Batman Incorporated? Maybe Nightrunner (or Batwing, to help promote his title) added to the roster instead of Batman?

I'm not surprised Bats would want to be involved with a super-team that's going to be active across the globe. If nothing else, he can take things he learns there and feed it to his agents if he thinks they're better suited to dealing with the problem than the JLI. By the same token, if Mr. Unknown 2 comes across something he thinks is out of his league, he can pass it along to Batman, who can then sic Guy Gardner on it. Or the other Justice League, I guess. No, not the one with Constantine. The other, other Justice League.

I guess I'm surprised he was allowed on the team. Unless this is a new, friendlier Batman who plays well with government officials. I doubt it, since he's going around deputizing people without concern for what the local governments might think, but you never know. Batman wants on, but the U.N. won't let him. They don't trust him not to pull the team out from under them. However, they recognize someone like Batman would be good to have, so they approach someone who's already proven themselves skilled enough that Batman trusts them. Naturally it turns out whoever they selected won't be controlled anymore than Bats would, but it would explain the initial selection.

Maybe Bruce Wayne greased some palms to get Batman rubber-stamped.
