    I love how the Dark Knights have just one aspect of the Batman proper mixed improperly.
    Love for Alfred, paranoia, will to save, hatred of criminals, trauma of losing his parents, desire to work above the law with his own rules, just one aspect that manifested too strongly and turned him wrong

      What's really “evil” at the end of the day?
      To me Red Death also wanted to save everyone in the first place just like the Drown and the Devastator. And the other Batmen just lost their mind but didn't choose to become like this, they were made this way by the harshness of life, it's just a mental illness, that's called sociopathy and it started the knight Bruce's parents died. I mean, regular Batman is already pretty much a sociopath himself.

By killing every villain and thugs Batman fights, Bruce would in turn, would not have to enter any kind of combat that could result in injuries. I believe that is also why the program made Bruce into a machine, it does not feel pain, easy to repair, etc.

    this whole series really puts into perspective how Batman is teetering merely *INCHES* away from the edge, with only his moral code keeping him in check. if he were to give in to his inner demons, then God help us all...
    thankfully he's just a fictional character though, so there's that. also, I think these are the greatest Elseworlds stories that never were. but the brevity of each hits harder than a full blown story would.

    Batman Who Laughs: Fear that in his efforts to defeat the Joker, he'll become something just as bad if not worse, and shame over his inability to find a way to stop the Joker without ending his life.
    Devastator: Fear of Superman going rogue, how important their friendship is, and shame over the fact he can't fully trust the Man of Steel to always and forever be on the up and up.
    Merciless: Fear that if he were to kill for any reason, he'd devolve into a mindless butcher who kills anyone and everyone indiscriminately, the importance of how Wonder Woman helps him see the good in others, and shame that since he never kills and thus his foes always come back, his war on crime can never be truly over.
    Red Death: Fear of not being fast enough to save the people he loves, shame over those he couldn't save(IE Jason Todd), and deep down fear of getting old and that impeding his ability to effectively fight crime.
    Dawnbreaker: Fear of getting superpowers and letting it go to his head, the importance of his adult discipline, like Merciless fear that if he were to kill for any reason at any time he'd become a bloodthirsty monster, and shame over his inability to get past losing his parents.
    Murder Machine: Fear of losing Alfred and how important their relationship is, fear of losing his humanity, and shame over his over reliance on technology and that 's not as self-sufficient as he may say.
    Drowned: Fear of metahumans, his shame in that fear, and going too far against metahuman adversaries, fear of losing himself to vengeance, how important his relationship to Catwoman is, and shame over how hard a time he had with trusting other people.
    Grim Knight: Batman's infamous fear and hatred of guns, like Merciless and Dawnbreaker, fear that if he were to be a killer he'd become a mindless, bloodthirsty killing machine, and fear of losing the trust of the GCPD and how important their working relationship is.

      I think its devastator, having the powers of DoomsDay allows him to regenerate and be immune to anything that killed it the 1st time. By theory Devastator can get him. But DawnBreaker definitely OP for sure. Hell Red Death a major problem too. Wishes they made a Martian ManHunter Batman that would be dope

    Interestingly enough the way the guardian implied that the darkness would consume all and that it was a protocol suggests that they had made it as a contingency but one that was a last resort not a main use...
    After all any green lantern knows of the meaning behind Darkest night.... but what about brightest day? Well since the black light entity is nothing but the absence of life then to kill the white light entity you must use the black light.... but not be consumed by the black lantern.... making this technically the only viable way a living person could use black light

      Well there wasn't exactly a red one around. Pretty sure that the red lantern corps was created years after the Waynes' death. And in that moment, he felt intense willpower to bring justice, only then he took it over with that sheer willpower.
