Warren Ellis is writing a Justice League story starting in JLA: Classified #10. This should be fun because he often refers to spandex costumed heros as having "pervert suits."

It occured to me that an awful lot of trouble in Gotham City could have been averted a long time ago if Batman had just ripped the Jokers nipples off. I mean, treatment doesn't work, does it? They stick Joker in the nuthatch, he comes out again and does the same things.
A man with his nipples ripped off does not make the same mistake twice.
"Batman, I've heard disturbing reports that you ripped the Joker's nipples off."
"Choke on my fuck, Comissioner Gordon"
"...okay."
I mean, crime in Gotham City doesn't exactly seem to be affected by a man dressed as a bat flapping around the place. But no-one disobeys a man wearing a necklace of human nipples.
"I'm Batman" isn't cutting it in the striking-fear-into-their-hearts stakes. But "I am Batman - and I'm here for your nipples" is an entirely different proposition.
Criminals would see the error of their ways after a man in a black leather pervert suit had their nipples off with the edge of a Batarang, you mark my words. Or a Bat-Denipplizer.-
c. Warren Ellis. This is why I love him.
