They've done the Mirage/Image equivalent of what, say, Daredevil, has done. They're your typical street level vigilantes who beat up street punks, alien Dinosaur Metas, super ninjas, etc. Miller's Daredevil was the mold the turtles were built on and a parody of. If you read their origin story it's actually depicted as a parody of the accident that gave Daredevil his powers as well (radioactive canister falls off speeding truck and strikes kid in the head, causing him to drop his pet turtles in the sewer where the ooze from the canister mutates the turtles).
Since the Turtles aren't from Marvel or DC, are from a universe not overly saturated with Superman-esque characters, and most people only know them for the Saturday morning cartoons, they are viewed with a lot of skepticism. Couple that with the fact that a person having access to scans of them is rare with the price of acquiring them relatively steep, and you wind up with the inevitable "TMNT Vs. Batman", by himself (Smh...), thread, because the Comic version of the Turtles, and abilities of their rogues gallery, are unknown to the majority, and people are already operating from their mainstream biases.
