### Weaknesses

* **Humanity:** While Batman fights along side almighty gods like Superman and Shazam, he is still a human, and thus can still be hurt by things that would damage a regular person.
* **Strategy:** Bruce may be a brilliant tactician and formidable warrior, but he still requires preperation to defeat most of his foes, like his bouts with Superman.
* **Non-Lethal Arsenal:** His arsenal is mostly based on weaponry designed to incapacitate opponents rather than killing them, leaving it difficult for the Caped Crusader to land a killing blow.
* **Trust Issues:** Batman has a really hard time trusting people even some of his closest allies. Batman has a plan to take down his fellow Justice League of America members if they ever go rouge. This has lead many of his former friends to not trust Batman.
