No, because terrorist groups, like rebels and uprisings throughout history, are just the natural consequence of a third-world nation rife with corruption and poverty and with heavy military occupation.

So even if he goes in and arrests every single current member of ISIS, unless he somehow can fix the climate, economy, quality of living, government and foreign relations of the various middle eastern nations, more are just going to come to take their place. In fact he'd be making a martyr out of ISIS and cause an even more violent group to replace it.

Now what if Bats takes on this new more violent group?

Then he'll just continue the same cycle forever, just like he's doing with crime.

It would just escalate interminably until someone finally had the good sense to nuke Syria.

No, traditionally, Batman hasn't been very good at permanently stopping international networks, even in his own rogues' gallery.

Batman couldnt...but billionaire Bruce Wayne could by using his wealth and influence to better the middle east region and drive fanatics out.

>>93480474
It depends. Does ISIS get prep time?

No. Batman/Bruce Wayne has proven that you cannot defeat a systemic problem with your fists and your money alone. There must be significant social, political, economic, educational, etc changes that must be met to reduce extremism. You cannot solve such a complicated issue by punching it or blowing it up.

What you're really asking is can Batman stop the League of Shadows from sponsoring terrorists.

What was that 90s JLA number where this new member joins, and he's a bit of a hothead, and he takes out this Middle Eastern dictator and it causes an even bigger mess and gets a lot of people killed? Anyway yeah...it would be more or less like that.
