I've been watching my seasons of Justice League while grading (best money I ever spent. EVER.), and there was a really funny scene that I wanted to relate to you.
There's been this massive jail break, with all sorts of dangerous super-villains on the loose. There's also this one prisoner, who is just a regular criminal and was actually in a coma, and he's disappeared. Batman says that he's going to investigate this guy's disappearance (which is good since he is actually the one behind everything, not that there's any way Batman can tell at this point).
Green Lantern points out that there are many other much more dangerous bad guys to pursue, and that this one guy is just a nobody.
Batman replies with the story from the Odyssey where Odysseus pokes out a cyclops' eye, and when asked his name he replied that he was "nobody". So when the cyclops goes to tell his friends who poked out his eye, all he can say is, "Nobody did it."
Green Lantern seems placated, and responds, "Point taken."
What the hell?! That story has absolutely nothing to do with the situation, except for the connection to the fairly random use of the word "nobody". What a load of nonsense!
I guess the point of this whole bit is that Batman just wanted to go do what he wanted to do, so he gave this whole story, hoping to confuse Green Lantern and get off the topic. And I guess it worked, because Green Lantern either didn't realize that there wasn't any connection, or assumed there had to be a connection (because Batman is very smart, and he definitely wouldn't LIE, would he), and was embarrassed too embarrassed to admit he didn't understand it.
Batman just messes around with everyone else. I think that's what was happening.
