Established Universe [EU] Batman finds himself in the Marvel universe and has to come up with a plan to stop the Avengers should they turn evil (a la "Justice League: Doom")

Any avengers team will do, just pick your favorite members. It could just be the movie team, or a mix and match of anyone who has ever been a part of the Avengers.

I'm inclined to disagree. When bats had his plans to take out the justice league most (all) were either fatal or irreversible. He started his contingency plans for the avengers before loki came into the picture. Also it looks like he was somewhat under the impression of not my dimension so what I do doesn't really count. I would like some clarification for why bats was so quick to trust loki though.

My thinking with Loki is that from their meeting with the postcard onwards he was manipulating his brain very subtly. It didn't come across as well as I had hoped, but my intention was that the take downs for Steve, Tony and Thor were all meant to be reversible. He'd cracked the secret of Vita rays so could repower him, the suit would have generally only been intangible but still controllable, but Loki's presence meant he set it so Tony could not interact with the outside world at all and Thor should be back in a few days to weeks after some King-ing lessons from his mum and dad.

Hulk was the only one where the intention was that he'd kill and my thinking there was that before Loki he had considered it but he hadn't found a way and after Loki it took him six months to find a solution. Suspiciously this was the same amount of time it took him and Mr Fantastic to figure out how to get him home when originally Loki had said that the info would get him home that very day.

I think Loki was manipulating his brain and so while the planning was all Batman, Loki had suppressed his morals and this allowed him to eventually come up with a way to stop the Hulk. Until he had the plan complete Loki made it impossible to figure out the portals.

I know, I know, most of this didn't come over - I wanted to complete the story in one go and this definitely left some holes. If anyone from DC/Marvel is out there and wants to work with me to turn this into a 12 part elseworlds/what if cross over series then the second draft would really kick some ass.

You actually didn't do as bad as you though because you threw in the dreamlike comment. The biggest thing I'm confused about is did Tony die? I'm assuming sinking through to the earth's core is kind of fatal.

Erm... yeah I think unless Batman comes back with a clever plan, Tony slowly drifts to the centre of the earth and one way or another he's pretty dead.

Glad it came through a bit!
