10 Times Batman Proved He Was No Hero

8. He Fired Guns Into A Crowd

Batman: Odyssey may be the single most insane story ever told. From the art to the dialogue, to the nonlinear,and almost surrealist plot, it's overwhelmingly absurd.

One thing that stands out in this extended acid trip of a comic is the fact that Batman carried guns as part of his standard gear, and used them as a first resort, even with the intention of scaring random innocent people.

To be fair, he was trying to get them to run because that train car had a bomb on it, and he wanted people to run for their own safety, but still... putting aside the concerns this tactic raises regarding evacuation protocols, he could have easily injured or killed people by shooting at them to save them from a bomb. They most likely all ended up with severe PTSD.

Probably not the best way to handle that situation.
