There's no doubt that recalling the fate of his parents is Bruce's biggest fear and regret. No matter who kills Batman's parents in different media, it's the catalyst to the person he becomes. Bruce spent all his childhood and early adulthood scared of remember what had happened.
Batman worries about things like his loved ones dying, failing to save Gotham, or his successors becoming evil. Unfortunately for the Dark Knight, these fears have often manifested in reality, with Bruce Wayne having to face his worst nightmares and push his mental limits.
Batman #109 brings Batman face to face with Scarecrow, revealing his deepest, darkest fear: never recovering from the guilt and trauma of his past. Warning: spoilers ahead for Batman #106! In his latest adventure, Batman isn't just fighting Scarecrow, he's fighting his greatest fears.
Batman's biggest weakness is his inability to do that which is necessary. He prides himself on his willingness to push himself harder than any of the other DC heroes, and he understands the calculus of reality, but his reticence to maim and kill whenever possible is indirectly responsible for the deaths of many.
You could say Joker, since the things he does push him to abandon his morals, which is a major fear of Batman's.
The Joker (real name unknown) is a homicidal maniac with a clown-like appearance, bent on creating havoc in Gotham City and fighting a never-ending battle against Batman.
Batman fears neither Bane nor the Joker.
Last year, Batman went to Bane's hideout to retrieve Psycho-Pirate, because Batman needed Psycho-Pirate to help Gotham Girl. No fear.
The Hulk is one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel universe. He possesses incredible strength, durability, and the ability to heal quickly. His strength is almost limitless, and he can easily defeat practically any opponent. Batman would struggle with Hulk's raw power and incredible strength.
1 Batman vs Joker
A battle almost 80-years in the making, Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo gave fans the ultimate Batman vs Joker battle in their epic story, "Endgame." This is a story that sees Joker poison everyone in Gotham and Batman turns to the Court of Owls for help.
Deathstroke. From Lady Shiva to Lobo, there's no end to the number of deadly assassins in the DC universe, and Batman has gone toe to toe with many of them on various occasions, with Deathstroke being arguably the most formidable of them all.
To Be Forgotten. While fans got to hear many memorable quotes from Joker in Batman: Arkham, the series also revealed what his greatest fear is supposed to be. As it turned out, The Joker feared being forgotten more than anything else because it meant nobody was afraid of him anymore, rendering all his crimes void.
Bruce Wayne of The Batman and Bruce Wayne of Ego come to the same realization: Batman must be more than fear to overcome evil. He must be hope as well. “As much as Batman is a terrifying symbol to the underworld, he is also a symbol to the good people of this city,” the Bruce Wayne of Ego decides. “A symbol of hope.”
Batman techniques and methods make them fear of him. Batman enemies knows that he doesn't kill but the fear of Bat makes them weak. His interrogation methods make them talk no matter what. He won't kill you but he will make you bleed to death.
As I mentioned in the opening, Batman's obsession is his mission to rid Gotham of crime. In Prey, we see a Batman who's consumed by his mission.
But this Batman doesn't quite "swoop in" on bad guys...at one point he even appears to be afraid of heights for a brief moment before diving off of a building. He gets hurt, he miscalculates a few jumps.
The page everyone remembers from Batman: Knightfall is Bane “breaking the Bat” over his knee. But Bane beat Batman by working smarter, not harder. Bane was able to defeat the Dark Knight physically by first exhausting him spiritually (and, well, also physically).
Mild spoilers for Batman: The Knight #10 aheadA lot of people think that Batman's greatest skill is fear because it's a powerful weapon against his enemies, but Batman's actual true power is compassion. Bruce may use terror to keep criminals in line, but when it comes to actually saving people, fear doesn't help.
Batman, well, he's got some money and nifty gadgets. When it comes down to it, in every aspect, Superman is better than Batman. Superman is stronger, he's been around longer, he's a hard-working man, and he's just a better person.
So, without a doubt, Kiteman is the weakest of all the villains. The character appears in the animated series Harley Quinn, in which Matt Oberg voiced him.
Furthermore, Batman is mysteriously able to see Luthor despite his blindness, the implication being that the darkness is selective at the whims of Abyss. Regardless, Batman's capabilities as a fighter are proven extremely well with the absence of his sight.
Again, direct admission in Dark Knight Rises is Batman's fear of death. Wayne's fear of dying is an impulse of his spirit that's played on philosophically by the Blind Prisoner. This fear gives his soul the strength to get on and get going with his vigilante mission. Bruce fears to die in Gotham whilst his city burns.
This is Batman's nightmare. His deepest, darkest fear. And it's the horror facing Bruce Wayne in Scott Snyder's new mini series, The Batman Who Laughs.
Batman doesn't Fear anyone or anything, but HIMSELF. let me explain. Batman has faced down the Scariest Villains and has broken down the obstacles and the barriers of Fear, even the MASTER OF FEAR himself Scarecrow has failed many times in trying to crack Batman. Over his life Batman has had many fears…
