Superman needed him because they're butt buddies. Kyle, Wally and J'onn never voted him out in the first place.And I like Batman just fine but you're kidding yourself if you think theres anyone on the team less useful than him.

It's not just analytical things that is useful to get the job done. Flash may be able to process things at a high rate, but he is still lacking in the areas that Batman brings to the table for the JLA, hence WHY THEY HAVE HIM! And it isn't just strategy that he's good for (however, he is the leader in that area). As Kahn has said, he brings knowledge of human technology, criminology, forensic science (which they use a lot normally), deductive reasoning, detective skills, psychiatric knowledge which allows him to trace all the steps and think like the criminal they are actually trying to capture. His psychiatric learnings is what has lead them to successful missions in the past, because he knows how to think like a criminal. All of his uses are practical when you consider what they usually do. He also has plenty of connections that they use all the time, and he funds their equipment, AND he brings equipment to the table as well. Arthur may be rich, but he isn't the one who helps out the League in the funding department. Like I said, Batman definitely has his uses in the League. He isn't the least useful in the group. Plastic Man is just another body for the League. He's a waste of space. He doens't provide any strategic compliments to them. ONCE AGAIN, I'm gonna mention the fail safes he's made for everybody, which is EXTREMELY usefu. 😗
If the JLA lose his wealth, they have Aquaman. If they lose his genius-level intellect, they still have Superman and Flash’s abilities to think things up on the fly. If they lose his experience with coming up with strategies, they still have the combat experience of Wonder Woman and MM. If they lose connection to his weapons, they still have access to Superman’s weapons; or better yet, the GL ring. They may not use any of this as long as Batman is around, but the fact of the matter is that they CAN.
The JLA can still function properly without him. They just have to work a little harder.

Batman’s knowledge over the criminal mind may come in handy dealing with guys like Joker, but practically any member can easily apply themselves to become just as intelligent as him. Flash can study it in moments, Wonder Woman now possesses both the wisdom and eyes of a goddess, Superman has his advanced Kryptonian mind, etc.If the JLA lose his wealth, they have Aquaman.

Yeah, I'd agree. 😬 However, it just irks me when people give him the title of completely "useless."
