It's been said that batman has a contingency plan to defeat every hero or villain should the need arise. Having said that, I can't imagine what Batmans plan against a champion of shazam would be. I mean captain marvel is basically magic superman with no specific weaknesses. I mean i know he's vulnerable as powerless Billy batson, but he transforms with but a word, so how would batman do it.

Which Batman are we talking about? In the N52, Batman would wisely ask Superman and Diana to help if Billy went rogue.

In the Post-Crisis Tower of Babel version, he would hypnotize Billy and force him to say the word. Then beat that 8 year old into submission....

I'm not kidding, his plan for GL is to hypnotize him.

He probably would get a recording of Billy saying SHAZAM press play and grab his mouth before he can change back.

The same way that Luthor beat Mazahs

@black_arrow: Luthor beat him because they have the same voice, Batman doesn't have the same voice.

Uses a recorder. Mimicks the voice of Billy (in pre new 52 he could do that, I am not sure in new 52)

@ultrastarkiller: @black_arrow: No, it has to be Billy who calls the name and with good intentions for the lighting to come. Think of it like Thor being worthy.

You are right, I reread the Shazam story in Justice league. We don´t know if Mazahs's powers work exactly the same as Billy's powers.

Aquaman thinks he has a plan for shazam

Tricking him into saying his name.

Taking him down while he is a kid. Duh. I mean, he is a master at stealth.

I wonder if damian can beat him he can mimic voices which can fool batcomputer

This and this,really Billy is the easiest to beat.

"Which Batman are we talking about? In the N52, Batman would wisely ask Superman and Diana to help if Billy went rogue."

Boring. Any good writer would eliminate that as an option because it's too damned easy and Batman doesnt need to ask, Superman would already know.

Batman calling upon Superman and Wonder Woman is deus ex machina bad writing and an admission that the writer is uncreative. Batman might as well do this every time he's in a tight spot, say the word Superman enough times for Clark to save him. I sigh in disappointment anytime I see the Superman I-win button being pushed. -Why?- Because we've been denied a clever, tension filled resolution.

In the New-52 I believe he can say the magic word without transforming, after all his name is now Shazam.

Trick him into saying his name. It shouldn't be too hard for the Greatest detective and one of the smartest characters in DC to trick a Superhero with the mind of a kid into saying his name.

Cool

@jordanwise73: and this is why Geoff Johns is a horrible batman writer.

PIS.

This is pretty much on point. It wouldn't be hard to get a voice recording of Billy screaming "Shazam" or tricking him into saying it himself. Lex Luthor did something similar to Alexander Luthor in Forever Evil.

I guess by playing on his immaturity

Yes.
