And just so that people understand where I'm coming from about Bats as a character. I've always loved the Bats as detective battling, insidious criminal threats in Gotham. He's never been an all action hero to me, and certainly his skills were not meant to be all action but based on concealment.
The Dark Knight in his roots, is not at all like a mainstream hero, he's a a lot like an indy mature hero. So I've always felt like with Loeb and others, in trying to translate a mainstream Bats they've sought of abandoned the core elements of his character. IMV Bats isn't a show pony and wouldn't even think of engaging DS even with a mother box he would know better than that, he'd run interference for an ally (flash bombs whatever) but never consider something so ridiculous.
Meh! If I get too irritated with current Bats, I always have the Question. I wish they'd do an AU on Rorschach.
