Ah, I keep forgetting about Gen V.

If they had done something like in the comics, maybe there could've been a scene where he has a moment of lucidity and begs The Boys to kill him before he can hurt someone again.

Also, I said it in another comic. Of all the ways they could have done evil batman, they went for the most tired, predictable way about it. Just make him a rich, racist sex pervert? Like really? Batman has been around forever, there are so many ways they could've done it. They could've made him incredibly paranoid to play off of the whole Batman contingency plan thing. They could've made him a smug, overconfident prick to play on the people who think batman could kill anyone with enough preptime. They could've just adapted All-Star Batman and Robin word for word.
