Geoff Johns hates Batman

It's quite clear to everyone that Geoff Johns hates Batman:
Green Lantern- Rebirth: John Stewart says (to Bats): "Why are you always laying into Hal? Is it because you work on fear, and he was the man without fear". Oh, and Hal smacking Batman in the face!

JSA 67: Doctor Mid-Nite's narration of the events of Identity Crisis: "Mr Terrific is a leader. By the time the funeral was over he'd thought on several ways the murder could have been conducted, even some Batman hadn't thought of"

Flash 214: Green Arrow says "Sue and Ralph just wanted to help people without the need for a Bat-signal"

In Issues 17-19 of Teen Titans the team gets flung 10 years into the future and meet their future selves who have gone a bit "fruity". Tim Drake has now become Batman and uses a gun (the one that killed Thomas and Martha Wayne). Robin absolutely depises his future self, especially the fact he has become Batman. This underpins all of Johns' abuse. There's even a line where Superboy says "Batman sucks. You rock". Whatever that means. At then end Tim is debating whether to talk about recent events and decides to thinking "I stop thinking like Batman... and start thinking like a Titan". I know this is Robin acting completely out of character and the whole thing is Johns' fault.
There are plenty more examples. I'm scared how bad the Dark Knight is going to come out of "Infinite Crisis". Just like the plotlines have been simmering for years, so has Johns' hatred of Batman...

He's worse than all the Batman villains combined.

As part of his role as continuity-chief it wouldn't surprise me if he tried to retcon Batman out of existence.
