Hal Jordan does it again.
Batman watched as everyone rallied around Jordan, wanting to accept him because it seemed like the opposite was just too much to consider. Then again, he expected something like this.
If they'd let Zatanna back into the League after what she'd done, then letting Jordan in was a formality. It would never stop. Anyone who'd betrayed them, who'd killed or mesmerized someone could provide their sob story and get a free pass. It seemed to Batman that there was no longer any accountability for actions taken and something inside him broke, because he'd wanted to believe, with all of his heart, that the Justice League was like him.
He'd wanted to believe that the Justice League of America would /never/ compromise.
"I've heard you, Jordan, but the things you've done aren't things I can let pass. Everyone's made mistakes, Arthur, but he's killed people. He tried to kill all of us and he would have succeeded if not for Oliver Queen, in the end.
I cannot and will not be a member of an organization that compromises itself on account of friendship. The world will accept the Green Lantern again because the Justice League does, but it won't stop here. Soon, we'll be letting in the likes of Deadshot and Ra's al Ghul because if they come up with a convincing tale of redemption. I'm not going to be here on the day it does." Batman says, turning to go.
"Consider this my full and final resignation from the Justice League, effective immediately. I'll be watching. Stay out of Gotham and don't contact me again." Batman says.
And now, he walks toward the elevator.
