Will Batman use any of his vehicles besides the Batwing? I know it's good for aerial transportation, but I'm sure there shall be some ground missions or something. When he was in the sewer hunting down Aquaman's assassin, he could've been using the Batcycle or the Batskiboat (like the one from Batman Returns; that was pretty cool).
He could've also boated across the area over Atlantis in the Batboat. I hope they make use of the Batmobile. And I also hope for an appearance by Nightwing, Robin, or Batgirl. Like Batgirl should be talking to him via his cowl earphones that connect to the Batcave. I'm glad we've seen glimpses of Clark Kent's apartment and the Batcave, but we should see Alfred or the Batmobile, or the suit containers, in the background for one of them.
Well post your thoughts here.

Well...here's ONE reason the Batboat wasn't used. If it gets attacked, and Batman has to jettison, unless GL is thinking fast, the water pressure kills Batman...
As for the sewer. The cycle barely fit in there. A Batskiboat? I don't think so...

Not necessarily. Batman has scuba gear in his Batboat, probably in a container. He's been in situations like that of which you've mentioned before, and I'm sure he'd survive. Green Lantern doesn't need to act like a bodyguard to him. Though in "Secret Origins" Wonder Woman flew with him hanging onto her hands...

You've got a point Batwing, but if he goes with them, who stays behind and alerts them about the melting ice caps? Lol.

Well, deep down in Atlantis, probably, but if you remember Batman Forever, in front of Riddler's Lair, the Batsub gets totaled, and Batman pops out of it in scuba gear and saves Robin

Ack, I think their doing just fine with the Bat-Thingies. I think the Batwing is the Most appropriate, if you NEED to see Batman in certain scenes. Where as everyone else flies, except Flash.
Honestly though, for the flow of the episode, how do you think Batman would be able to get the Batski boat down into that sewer, in time to catch Deadshot?
i think there will be a time and place for anything Batman oulls out of his belt, or whatever vehical he has. Like let's say the injustice gang, informs the league to meet them on some large sea vessel. You may not see him drive it there, but if for whatever reason the Batboat shows up in that episode, it would make more sense. As the Bat had knowledge that they'd be in the middle of the ocean.
Anyone see those Taser Kncukles Batman had? Pretty cool!

Aw, come on! Eight posts and no one has mentioned the coolest Bat thing of them all?
The Whirlybat!
The name alone denotes coolness! :rolleyes:

LOL yes the Whirlybat. Or the "Flying Batcave"!

the problem with vehicles is that they get destroyed....especially ones that are used underwater
and since bats lacks flight ability or any super-swiming power, it makes sense for him to stick to the good ol batplane (which lately has become my favorite bat-ride)

While I like the Bat Team, I don't think they fit well into the JL animated series. We already have 7 main characters that need air time. Lets focus on them and their villains.

Nightwing would do well. Robin wasn't much help in Superfriends, and Batgirl wouldn't serve much purpose either, but I'd like to hear Batman talking to them while they're in the Batcave. It's Batwing, not Batplane. A common mistake.

Plus the Batski would literally mow down Deadshot's motorcycle. Deadshot's artillery would also be useless, as most Batvehicles are equipped with bulletproof glass and armor (except for the Batwing from "Batman" 1989; one shot from a mere modified Colt pistol and it goes down).

The reason the Batwing went down was because that was an explosive shell, in effect, a grenade...

Also, there was'nt enough water in that sewer for the Batskiboat, to chase deadshot with.
This is the JLa, they all can do great things. I Like Batman and all, but I would be really upset if every episode was catering to his lifestyle, by showing Nightwing, and Robin all the time.
I still want to see these members in their off time. I'd Like to see John, Bruce, Clark, and Diana outside of costume, in one of these episodes.

Of course. So do I. My 2nd favorite member of the JLA besides Brucie is Supes and then 3rd is Green Lantern, 4th Flash and least favorite Hawkgirl. Wonder Woman is better than her. And you're right about the Batskiboat having too less water for it to travel through. Though the sewer in "Batman Returns" wasn't that filled up either; but filled up enough for penguins to swim through, though.
