I mean if Batman was  written in JLA like he is in Batman, Darkseid would've blinked and Batman would've been dead. "Oh, I'm sorry. Did I just kill the World's Greatest Detective?" Only in comics like Watchmen are the differences really showcased as it's a non-continuing series. 99.9% of characters from the big two vary in power depending on whose writing them.For example, good old Spider Man. One of the first things that happened when he got the Spider Armor was he was shot. How many times has he been shot in such a fatal area? Not too often before and I'll bet not too often afterwards.</blockquote>
