Round 1: The weird part about this is, these fights take place in a context that DD would never be in. He'd never be fooled by any of the illusions, and therefore would have caught on to Mysterio and never have let his guard down in the first place. However, even if you just literally just drop DD into the fight right before the trainyard, I still think he gets the jump on Mysterio by knowing exactly where he is and taking him out before Mysterio can adjust and issue a kill order. At that point, he didn't have the entire Stark Fleet of drones dispatched (they come out for London), so DD wouldn't have to deal with nearly as many.

Round 2: Dropping him in right before the battle of London is too much for DD to handle, he gets overwhelmed by the sheer firepower and protection that Mysterio has for himself. But again, this is putting a character in a situation that they wouldn't have let themselves get into.

I very much agree with the OP, and though there are many things at play here (JLA Batman vs. Gotham Batman, Greatest Detective Batman vs. Survivalist Batman, etc.), I do find that Snyder's Batman has had too many instances where he is basically invincible, at least physically. I do like that he has been challenged on an intellectual level and is not seen as constantly being prepared for every possible situation, no matter how far fetched. The problem is, despite being mentally fallible, it doesn't matter because he's physically unstoppable. The maze during the Court of Owls arc proved that this current incarnation of Batman is not bounded by even the highest of human limits when it comes to strength and survivability. Bruce gets IMPALED, straight up, and then proceeds to defeat a peak-level fighter (someone who's all but defeated him previously, when he wasn't impaled), only to hold his breath for long periods of time and swim in freezing water to safety. Sure he was helped out, and should have been dead, and then he was shocked back to life by a car battery. Currently, he's been electrocuted by a tool used for literal death sentences. There's so much to like about this incarnation of Batman and the Bat-family, but they've given Bruce way too much survivability. It's one thing to make Batman unkillable, which he always has been, through his combination of physical toughness and mental prowess, but it's another to simply give him a Wolverine-like invulverability to injury.
