When Batman and Wonder Woman are at odds over the fate of a woman under Diana's protection, Bruce employs a shockingly personal countermeasure.
Known as a master tactician, Batman always has a plan up his sleeve for any situation. Most famously, he's had a number of contingencies for his fellow Justice League in case he and his fellow heroes are ever at odds. Of all of these countermeasures, one of Batman's defenses against Wonder Woman may be his most disrespectful to date.
The moment comes in Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia by Greg Rucka and J. G. Jones. The 2002 graphic novel is Rucka's first turn on the character before later helming Wonder Woman's main title. The Hiketeia sees Wonder Woman take Danielle, a young woman on the run, into her care in accordance to an ancient ritual Danielle invokes for protection.

It is revealed that Danielle comes to Wonder Woman for protection for murdering sex-slavers in Gotham as retribution for using and killing her sister.
Batman, meanwhile, looms as a specter perhaps not of justice, but of retribution. Bruce has long held a more rigid code than Diana, and he feels that putting Danielle in prison is what's right. To meet this end, however, Batman makes his own moral concession. After multiple failed attempts to best Diana in physical combat, Bruce invokes the Hiketeia himself, hoping to keep Wonder Woman - now his protector as well - from physically keeping him from Danielle any longer.
Batman Struggles Against Wonder Woman More Than Superman The confrontation is an interesting take on a Batman vs. Wonder Woman fight, as she is quite possibly his toughest ally to plan against. Generally speaking, Diana lacks the major weaknesses of some of her fellow League members. With Bruce fully unable to physically best Diana , he resorts to twisting his friend's code of honor for victory.
