JLA: Tower of Babel

"JLA Secret Files & Origins #3" goes much further in depth into the formation and theft of Batman's contingency plans. It is included in the storyline's trade paperback.
When Ra's al Ghul steals Batman's contingency plans to incapacitate any rogue League members, he puts the following Batman plans into action:

J'onn J'onzz is covered with nanites that convert the outer layer of his skin to magnesium, causing him to burst into flame on exposure to air. He later survived by wearing an airtight suit, then waiting until he had shed enough skin cells to function normally (something Batman had ignored because he had not been trying to kill J'onn).
Aquaman is rendered hydrophobic with an altered form of the Scarecrow's fear toxin, although he depends on water to survive for more than a few hours. J'onn uses his telepathy to help him overcome the effects of the toxin.
Plastic Man is frozen solid, then shattered with a hammer by one of Ra's' henchmen.
Kyle Rayner is rendered blind with his own power ring using subconscious commands while he sleeps.
Thanks to a nanite through her ear, Wonder Woman is trapped in a virtual reality battle with her perfect challenger that would eventually cause her heart to give out.
A specially designed "vibra-bullet" strikes The Flash in the back of the neck, causing him to experience multiple seizures at lightspeed.
Superman's skin becomes transparent after exposure to Red Kryptonite, which causes him to suffer a power overload.

Even though Batman claimed that the measure began when the Secret Society of Super-Villains swapped bodies with the Justice League with the aid of Agamemno years ago, "Identity Crisis" would reveal that the Justice League had betrayed Batman first, some point after the event by removing his witness of Doctor Light's "mind-wipe" from his memory. Eventually Batman recalls, which would lead him to the creation of the "Brother Eye" A.I. satellite, a much more extreme contingency plan.

Trivia

The now canceled movie Justice League: Mortal, featured a somewhat similar plot, with the plot to immobilize the Leaguers using nanites. However, it was Maxwell Lord who orchestrated this plot, not Ra's al Ghul, Wally West was a supporting character, in favor of Barry Allen, and John Stewart replaced Kyle Rayner as Green Lantern. Plastic Man is also absent from the movie's script. Recently, a new movie (Justice League: Doom) uses the plot, but with Vandal Savage instead of al Ghul.
