Lol, okay then let me answer the question. Do I mind it? No. Is it out of character? Certainly. Stargrave pretty sums it all up in this and I have to agree:
@lion - agreed. The problem isn't that Batman's brutal (Even though I don't want to see Batman like that anyway), it's that he's unhinged. Whatever line he had, he's crossed it, that's pretty obvious from his demeanor and Alfred's reaction, and Batman doesn't do that. Batman is nothing if not in control of himself. He is the quintessential stoic. He can be put through a lot of pain, but he knows how to push it down until the task is done and he knows how to maintain his composure under stress to the point of flaw.
Now seeing him go apeshit over someone we hardly know, and someone, if I get this correctly, he himself hasn't seen in years makes us cry havoc because if he's willing to do that for her, there's no telling what he would for someone he's more invested in, and that's against the core of Batman. He didn't do it when Babs was shot. He didn't do it when Jason was killed. He shouldn't do it now.
I suppose I just like seeing Bruce beat the crap out of people, whether it's in character or not.
