In case you think the final comparison is too harsh, just remember: This is the Batman that kills, uses a machine gun, drives around in a Tank running over innocent bystanders, kidnaps a 12 year old boy, forces said boy to eat rats, beats the crap out of Green Lantern, steals his Lantern Corps Ring, calls people retarded, tortures people indiscriminately, and slaps around women.

DC characters are iconic and idealized. They are characters you are suppose to want to be (For Example: the recent "Be the Bat" ad campaign). But I'm sorry, I don't think THIS version of Batman is the one we should be rooting for or wanting to be like.

Just my opinion!
