The problem is that, when you start talking alien/inhuman powers, you move from "superhero" to "SUPERhero". As a vigilante detective, Batman is a great character. But you can only develop your physicality so far, and your gadgets and toys to a certain degree. Batman and Green Arrow just can't match up against an altered/stronger being. Spiderman, The Flash, Green Lantern, even Aquaman and Wonder Woman... all have powers or an unusually stronger physicality that has a background reason for it. So, in any JL film, they'd have to do the same thing for Batman that they did for Captain America: create specific scenes for him to show, "hey, look, he's contributing!" Batman would have to do it by coming up with the ideas and plans, or noticing something about how the enemy is attacking, etc.,. And of course his toys would come into the mix. But hand-to-hand he wouldn't be doing a whole lot against any opponent with more-than-normal power.
