...But Anarky is a Batman villain, not magical >.> <.<
It might help if the Zatanna bio followed the established CS, yeah. Although I'm not the GM.
Batman brought his jet around under Superman's orders, not that he wouldn't have moved in to catch Robin before she fell anyways. Sure, he could have been the one giving the orders but it was good for team unity for the others to see Superman in a position of authority. He was something of a symbol after all, not just to the other heroes here but to the world at large. With that in mind, he should probably formally introduce Madison to the rest of the League members here ifs he hadn't introduced herself already once this was over. Her reaction would probably be an even more intense version of the sort of enthusiasm she applied to her work as Robin, which...could be interesting, he supposed.
To ensure that that meeting could properly take place he retracted the canopy again and swept low nearby the robot, slowing just enough that Madison could make the jump back into the cockpit safely and use the jetpack for insurance if she missed. He might trust her enough to scale a giant robot with some help, but it would be meaningless if she got too excited from the fact that she'd just helped destroy a giant robot, miscalculated the jump and had to be rescued from plummeting into the sea at terminal velocity.
Once the robot inevitably fell Batman would make sure to remember its' position in the water exactly and plot out where the ocean currents might have caused any stray pieces to drift or wash up. The right sort of carefully executed bribes and even more carefully executed legitimate paperwork by Bruce Wayne would ensure that the inevitable salvage or clean-up teams were blocked from delivering the robot or any of its' parts to Luthor. The last thing any of them needed was Lex weaponizing alien technology after the League practically disarmed and gift-wrapped it for him right off of Metropolis' shores.
A little more careful paperwork and a few more bribes would ensure they instead delivered them to one of several high-security storage bunkers that just happened to belong to a subsidiary of a subsidiary's subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises. Lex not being good enough to deserve extra-terrestrial toys didn't mean Batman shouldn't know the best ways to break them if more showed up.
But first he had to catch Madison. Then, even more dangerously, he'd have to survive her squeeing.

Batman circled in the jet while the others formulated a battle-plan, observing the fight from on high. Something about all of this still didn't add up correctly, specifically he noticed that the tendrils were still almost exclusively targeting Superman. The only other attack so far had been on the news helicopter and that practically reeked of baiting, true the robot could just be prioritizing the strongest threat but Wonder Woman and Green Lantern's arrival both nullified that possibility. Better to conserve ammunition for now, since the 'bigger guns' he'd been stalling for were on the scene and not incapacitated...yet.
He noticed that Madison was attempting to scale the robot, probably as part of one of Oliver's schemes involving an arrow. Oliver needing someone to plant the thing rather than taking the shot meant that he either didn't know exactly where the target was, or it was too difficult even for him. Probably the former, the man's ego would likely never let him admit he might miss. some kind of 'hacking arrow' was the most likely ordinance then, with Madison instructed to find a weakpoint to plug it into. A risky, potentialy stupid plan considering the robot they were trying to hack was entirely alien in origin and no one had exactly had time to analyze it's operating systems so the arrow working would be sheer blind luck, but the girl still jumped right into the fray. It was her first real sortie with the League and she was doing admirably. Bruce had to grudgingly admit she-
was about to be carelessly crushed by a giant robotic fist! Batman dropped the Jet into a dive at the fist, knowing he might not be able to blow it off or halt it in time since it had already been poised to strike, planning on intercepting it physically. Then Aquaman stepped in the way and stopped it with his bare hands. You had to admire that about Arthur, really. The world thought of him as a complete joke, but he still leaped right into danger without a second thought.
Noticing that Aquaman was struggling to hold the fist back, Batman pulled up and armed several high-explosive missiles before firing them right at the elbow joint to blast it off, then immediately fired the last of his 'Freeze Missiles' at the metallic stump to prevent more tentacles from forming.
"Now we're even!" was about all he said to Aquaman over the intercom.

Right, I think I managed to finish up Strix. He's now a 'paranoid' conspiracy theorist detective who dresses like a creepy owl creature to hunt down the totally real and not at all in his head conspiracy that killed his parents while using their fortune and massive multi-industry company plus his own technological and physical abilities to keep himself viable when said conspiracy includes super-beings and supernatural forces while spending his off-hours as John Keller, totally-not-crazy-conspiracy-nut and upstanding CEO, Inventor and Philanthropist.
Also he sometimes fights crime along the way. XD

I might just edit the Strix sheet to fit this concept better, since it would really just mean doing that to his personality section and part of his bio.

Perhaps they could. They're both non-powered highly-skilled martial artists and detectives. I'm not sure what his status with the League is other than financing it if he's involved.

I think I will go with a high-functioning paranoid conspiracy theorist like The Question then, with Batman's wealth, use of Gadgetry and some of his backstory and the detective and martial arts skills common to both. I could have him be involved with the League and his technological skills and money could be useful to them, I just don't want to step on an already established character's toes.

It's okay if there's another Batman type I guess. I was actually maybe planning on making him quite a bit more crazy and paranoid than Batman since I've done that in some other RPs and it's worked out well enough then, so a bit more like if Batman were crossed with The Question from JLU I suppose, if The Question were capable of functioning in society.
Also the fact that I'm playing Batman in another RP helps lessen my concerns. XD
With those things in mind I might remove him from affiliation with The League and make him more of a crazy, myth-shrouded conspiracy theorist at least at first? I'm not sure unless you have suggestions. I might wait until you finish Pariah before I write the rest of him up so they don't get too similar? Because if Pariah is ALSO a crazy myth-shrouded conspiracy theorist who dresses like a creature of the night or something, well that would just be silly.
Although if it IS the case that he's a crazy-prepared conspiracy theorist which seems like the kind of person you'd give the name 'Pariah' to, I have other angles I can approach Strix from.

I was thinking that after this thing with the Robot, Batman could go and investigate and/or have a "Chat" with Lex Luthor, since I was thinking that the thugs he was interrogating on the roof during the OP could have been smugglers that were sneaking disguised Lexcorp weapons to radical elements in Khandaq maybe?
I feel like it makes sense for a weasel like Lex to be secretly playing both sides for maximum profit.
