10 Most Evil Versions Of Batman

7. The Murder Machine

Batman Evil
DC Comics

Many like to accuse Bruce of being robotic in personality and behavior, but as The Murder Machine showcases, a robot Batman would be way worse than anyone could have predicted.

When Alfred is murdered by Batman's rogues gallery, he and cyborg construct an AI resembling Alfred's personality and mannerisms to both perform the duties Alfred used to, as well as help Bruce to cope with the loss of his surrogate father. However, The Alfred Protocol - programmed to help Bruce however it felt was most efficient - decided to first murder everyone in Arkham Asylum, and then take over Bruce's mind when the AI decided that Bruce was as much a danger to himself as anyone else.

His body now under the control of The Alfred Protocol, Bruce was subjected to a brutal surgical removal of everything the AI deemed weak, such as his frail human body, and any emotions that would make him hesitate in his quest.

When the Justice League protested, the Murder Machine, as it took to calling itself, proceeded to brutally massacre them.
