I don't want to tell you how to do your job Lex Luthor, but I think you should have spent the laser-building time to find a cure for your receding hairline. You don't need a Power Neutralizing Ray to take away their fantastic belt wearing ability. The belts fasten right in the front. Use your Super Thumbs to Unhook the Bat Buckle, and Super Pull the Belts off their pants. Then use your Laser Of Put The Belts In A Different Room. Why would you care if they have their belts anyway? As cool as everything in them is, most of them are still just bat shaped sticks that he throws at you. Send a guy to fight him who won't die if he gets hit by a stick, and you'll probably be fine.
