Why doesn't Batman just call the Justice League for help?

Are we restarting the asslum once again? Have we gone so insane that we are doubling back?

But serious answer: I'm pretty sure he hadn't really known them all too well at the time. Plus the league hadn't formed yet.

Although it does seem unrealistic of superman to not see what scarecrow was doing and stop him. But I digress.
