10 Insanely Dark Batman Moments That'll Never Make It To Film

10. Batman Condemns KGBeast To Death

Batman's no-kill policy is the fine line which separates him from the psychopaths in his rogues gallery, but there are times when DC writers have declared war on canon.

In 1988's Ten Nights of the Beast story arc, the Dark Knight as good as abandons his number one rule when he locks the Russian assassin KGBeast in an underground prison with no food, water or chance of escape.

If that isn't callous enough, the brawl which proceeded the act wouldn't have looked out of place in a Roman gladiatorial arena - the Beast loses an eye in the process!

Well aware that this act of fatal imprisonment pretty much craps on the Dark Knight's legacy, future writers retconned the entire incident and would have us believe Bats later called the police to pick up the walking Cold War parody.

At least stand by your gruesome plot twists, DC.
