Failsafe is a complex android created by the Batman, in order to neutralize the caped crusader in case he ever went rogue. He built from technology from a number of sources, including the Amazo android. Batman designed Failsafe to know his plans and moves, as well as to be stronger and faster than him. Failsafe is also specifically equipped to combat the members of the Justice League. Despite his deadly functionalities, Failsafe is not designed to kill. Failsafe is programmed with vast fighting knowledge, allowing him to easily overpower even highly experienced fighters, such as Batman, Robin, Orphan, Spoiler, Signal and Nightwing, even when some of them were mounting a combined assault.
Enhanced Abilities: Failsafe has vast superhuman strength, agility, speed, endurance and durability.
Invulnerability: Failsafe is practically impervious from both a hardware and software perspective. He is highly resistant to both physical and energy attacks.
Energy Projection: Failsafe is able to project destructive blasts of energy.
Enhanced Senses: As an android Failsafe possesses senses greater than any human.
Flight: Failsafe is able to fly thanks to several propulsors installed in his body.
Force Field: Failsafe can make and generate defensive shields.
Magnetic Manipulation: Failsafe is able to manipulate magnetic fields.
Mechanokinesis: Failsafe can directly interfere with technology, as he was able to block the signal between the Bat-Family's coms, so they couldn't communicate.
Mind Control: Using a specialised helmet, Failsafe is able to control others into performing surveillance using their own skills, such as Oracle.
Thermokinetic Claws: Failsafe is equipped with scorching hot claws, capable of wounding both Martian Manhunter, and Aquaman. He can stretch these claws.
Weaponry: Failsafe can shoot target-seeking missiles from his body and is equipped with three Green Kryptonite blades.
 
Origins:
 
In the process of creating failsafe plans to stop Justice Leaguers in the event that one of them went rogue (a process that would later lead to the Tower of Babel incident), Batman activated his artificially constructed Zur-En-Arrh persona and had him create an android capable of stopping him in case he ever took a life using technology from various cybernetic villains previously faced by the Justice League, including Amazo. After creating it Zur-En-Arrh removed the event from his memory so that in the event of a confrontation between a rogue Batman and the android the former would have no advantages.
Failsafe remained dormant in the Batcave for years until The Penguin faked his own death and framed Batman for homicide. The news of Batman now seemingly willing to kill people activated Failsafe who immediately started to hunt his creator. While there were provisions in its programming for Batman being framed, unfortunately, they needed to be activated by the late Alfred Pennyworth.
