I'm just going to remind everyone that Clark HEARD THIS WHOLE CONVERSATION.
Clark: Hey, Alchemist. Sorry about Phyllis.
Al: Hey. No problem.
Clark *awkwardly*: Would you mind trying again?
Al: I minded trying the first time. That's why I left.
He can, and he has. From purchasing a PSX and a copy of FF7 for Jinx, to doing that again for Chase Meridian he's grabbed a handful of mundane objects. That he could use the Game Shop instead of going around hunting down more of the large, cabin sized woodsheds was a minor plot point a bit ago.
Let's be real, though. The best version to give to the Justice League isn't JLU. It's not The Brave and the Bold.
He should give them 1960's Adam West Batman. Then every other form of Justice League media produced up through the eighties.
LE requires intention. Alchemist's problem is that he's not really paying attention. They sound pretty similar though, to be fair.
This is the DC world, not the real world. If she's out of commission for more than six months to get back into shape, that will be the surprise.
...Though, at some point after her eventual escape, I need to have Alchemist refer to her as 'The great ninja, Tubbimura!'
No, I mean his dimension. His pocket reality.
This very chapter, it was established that he doesn't get reception in there; that's why Captain Marvel was there in the first place. So it would make sense for him to have someone to screen his calls and let him know when someone is trying to get a hold of him.

I'm torn on whether or not Al should purchase a print copy of The Adventures of Dr. McNinja. It'd give Yuffie ideas. On the other hand, it'd be a great primer on dealing with the insanity that regularly occurs in Alchemist's life.

Alchemist is once again being a dumbass. He want the grass cut short? Buy a goat! I've had some at several points if my life and they never fail to eat everything to the dirt if given the chance. Also produce great fertilizer. Years later that one spot we kept some for a fortnight is STILL visibly greener than everywhere else.

But he wants to grow things there, too. Goats are widely known as eating basically anything and everything edible. Goats and veggies

I wonder if Batman would accept a Sample of the Super Soldier Serum that Captain America got as while it does grant superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, ect it's not absurd to the point that a normal human can't compete against someone with it while also making Batman all around stronger.
We've seen what happens when Batman gets Superman's powers or other powers such as a green lantern ring but I don't think we've seen him gain any high low to low mid powers before that still allow for his humanity to shine

Huh.
Outwardly, I don't think it would actually change much of anything. Batman is at the peak of human fitness. He's literally maxed out his physical attributes as far as they'll go without drugs.
The Super Serum would definitely enhance his capabilities, make him stronger, faster, etc... But I think the part that may sell it would be telling him that it will enhance his stamina. Let him go longer and longer without sleep or rest.
Which... Well, we've seen that Alchemist is on the verge of burnout.
When it comes to work, Batman actually has less restraint. He seems to genuinely consider his mental health to be disposable. I think, honestly, that giving him the power to run nose first into that woodchipper would just accelerate his own downward spiral.
...I hate having to think of the actual downsides to having awesome powers.

the serum also changes the person based on their personality.
i.e Red Skull became...Red Skull, because of that.
batman probably wouldn't trust himself.
"what if it amplifies my negative qualities and turns me evil"

Recall how the Bioship had to go full Aeromorph to convince itself capable of wooing Alchemist.
The House Of Secrets doesn't have to do that, it already has a body and plenty of self confidence!
At this point I expect The House Of Secrets to inconspicuously plop itself down on Alchemist's front lawn and pretend (very badly) to be yet another of the cottages Alchemist set up for the Dark Souls Refugees.

Alchemist needs to yoink Batman into Persona. Batman's inner demons would turn it into an apocalypse scenario, but once that's handled Bruce's new Persona and mental health would be amazing.

Considering Bruce's quite literally cosmic levels of willpower, only person with more is Hal Jordan, it might just actually end whichever variant of the persona world you dropped him in. His inner demons, his problems, could be effectively invincible depending on how the scaling works.

We're doing this?
Alright. Fine. We're doing this.
Bruce was tired. He'd been kept up for the last two days straight trying to track down the Riddler and the madman had upped his game. Considerably.
He'd returned to the Batcave, intent on putting the little data he'd recovered so far into the computer for processing when he heard a loud crash come from behind him. He turned, swiftly, batarangs at the ready...
Only to discover a square-shaped black van had dropped, literally, into the open space next to the Batmobile.
"What?" He couldn't stop himself from saying, too exhausted to maintain his impeccable control.
He was swiftly answered when Alchemist kicked open the door and stepped out. Normally, the man would be wearing jeans and a tee shirt.
Now, however, he was wearing a black longcoat covered in buckles and zippers... With no pockets.
"Batman!" The madman shouted. "Get in the van!"
Bruce stared at Alchemist for a long moment, then to the van that quite likely had its suspension destroyed when it landed after what Bruce assumed was a miss-aimed teleport-
Wait, no, nevermind. The van was covered in golden sparkles for a moment before the body literally lifted a solid fifteen centimeters up.
"What? No- Why?" The Caped Crusader asked, his frazzled mind struggling to figure out whatever insanity Alchemist had stumbled upon this time.
"It's simple!" Alchemist spread his arms out wide. "You're getting therapy!"
"I don't -need- therapy." Bruce growled, stalking closer to show his displeasure at Alchemist showing up, in his home, unannounced and claiming he needed help.
"Different kind of therapy." Alchemist cut him off, however, and waved to a person in the passenger seat. A man sat there, blonde hair, gorgeous blue eyes... Bruce did not feel ashamed to say that the man was downright beautiful. "I was visiting Lucifer and he mentioned something about crazy people and killing god. So I immediately thought of the craziest person I know, and how we could kill god!"
"I... What?" Bruce knew what all of those words meant... But not if they were put together in that combination.
"So come on! Let's go beat up your trauma and use the resulting superpower to punch god in the face!" Alchemist's grin was decidedly unhinged.
Bruce looked to the man in the passenger seat- Potentially Lucifer, if Alchemist's words offered any insight.
"Don't look at me." The gorgeous man said, smiling radiantly. "I'm just here for the ride."

Civilian antipathy would be through the fucking roof. Imagine walking out to your car after a 16 hour shift, just to find it with a suspiciously human sized dent halfway through the front of the car, no note, and no security camera in view. Then you have to call All State and pray that they'll pay out on your Supers policy while you have to beg and scrape to get rides to work for you and school for your kids.
Imagine the weeks of stress all because one overpowered freak couldn't bother to aim another at the ground as opposed to racking up another four thousand dollars worth of property damage.

It's taken me this long to wonder whether Alchemist could just grab Batman and/or any of the other overworked heroes (and by "other" I mean Alchemist is also included in the list of overworked heroes) and go on one of those instant quests... e.g. "Ring lost near Vacant Luxury Cabins In Peaceful Quiet Alpine Forest Valley, reward 1GP"... and just, y'know, "take their time" 
solving it.
solving it.Thanks Mister Ficser, I hate it and love it in equal measure. Batman stumbling into a zany Persona roadtrip complete with a Mystery Van (tm) is possibly one of the greatest starts to a wacky hijinks spin-off.
Given how this story can get when Alchemist deciodes to flip the board, this is saying something.
Bruce: pulls out two electrified tonfas and asumes a battle stance "You can't make me!"
