Batman's power is his brain. If he can't defeat his enemy in physical combat, he thinks up some other way to win.

In the DC Universe all Martians lose their powers when they're exposed to open flame (it's a psychological weakness). Of course, all DC Martians are also shapechangers, so the key to their defeat was figuring out that they *were* Martians. The other members of the JLA were fighting them one-on-one, and losing; Batman figured out their secret and took out three of them by himself.

Incidentally, that story appeared in JLA (latest volume) #1-4, by Grant Morrison and Howard Porter, and was collected in the trade paperback "New World Order".

Hmmm--I'm thinking of treating myself to the comic-book store for my birthday--maybe I'll look that up. I'm also thinking of getting some more "Essential Spider-Man" reprints and some manga. Have to think about what else. . .

But...but...but what about the Bat Utility Belt?
