Batman and Failsafe - The Creator vs the Creation
The first time they battled was when Failsafe was activated when Batman was framed for The Penguin's murder and tracked him down, challenging and defeating him instantly. Batman could barely escape, multiples of his bones were broken with a near-fatal punch to the chest.
After narrowly escaping, the aggressive android tracks down Batman again, this time with the Bat-Family present. He targeted Signal and Spoiler's heads and necks, leaving them badly injured. After, he moves on to Cassandra Cain and beats her up with a motorbike. Then, when all of them are taken out, Nightwing is the only one left standing, barely.
Tim Drake and Batman escaped to the Batcave where Batman turned into Zurr En Arrh, a more reckless and vicious version of himself, leaving Tim very confused.
They didn't have much time to prepare though since the implacable Failsafe came crashing through the ceiling. Batman ran at him, going in for hits, making himself bleed with his body broken. This also made Tim a target, he got injured and Bruce needed to fight his other personality to save himself and Tim.
Pushing Tim out the house, he prepared to fight Failsafe alone, face to face. Failsafe set a fire at Wayne Manor and with one more hit, Batman collapsed.
Just as he thought it was over, that he was going to die, faithful friend Superman showed up, putting out the fire and fighting Failsafe. Unfortunately, he was one-shot with a stab, as Failsafe maneuvered to use Kryptonite to stab him. The Justice League then arrived and Failsafe was battling evenly against them as a team. Batman, Robin and Superman needed to get into a jet and fly away until Batman jumped out into the sea.
The robotic killer flew into the centre of Gotham, a place that Bruce Wayne owned. Wayne owning an area means contingencies are in place. Hawkgirl was thrown against the wall with magnets, Black Canary got shot with a device that held her scream in until she passed out. Martian Manhunter got set on fire. Only Green Arrow and Nightwing were left, and they didn't fare well.
Batman woke up two weeks later, in Atlantis. He knew he still didn't have much time since Failsafe took care of Gotham and half of Earth's heroes.
Eventually, Failsafe appeared, completely took out the army of Atlantis and stabbed Aquaman with his own trident. He reached Batman's room to find he had already disappeared. With that, Batman was in the Watchtower, coming up with another plan. Within minutes, Failsafe was there again. Batman's plan wasn't well-planned or sufficient enough, but he used one of the strongest weapons there to open up a hole in Failsafe. The voracious Failsafe was unaffected and then went into the teleportation room, where Batman reversed the controls, making it blow, and the Bat flew into space. Failsafe was still back on Earth though, so Batman used an engine from a destroyed jet and a gas mask to fly back to his planet.
The mask was destroyed when the engine burst on fire. He needed to rip a part from his cape to use as a mask and prepared for impact.
When he landed, he was right by the Fortress of Solitude. Tim and Superman were there and he needed to install a virus, the virus would make him compassionate, to stop hunting and trying to kill Batman. Superman came out to distract Failsafe, who had once again tracked him down, getting hit on a pressure point and getting seriously injured.
Just in time, Batman ran out and gave Failsafe a barrage of attacks, using the virus and making him run into the Fortress. He came out with a gun and shot Batman, knocking him out and teleporting him to Gotham, in another universe.
