10 Worst Things Batman Did To Villains

1. Driving Joe Chill To Suicide - Batman #673

Regardless of whether Thomas and Martha Wayne were as horrible as they were presented in Joker or as flawless as they are usually depicted in the comics, killing them and inflicting such massive trauma on their child is pretty horrible.

Throughout Batman #673, Batman visits Joe Chill every night. He doesn't harm the criminal, instead only taking down his guards while quietly threatening. Finally, Batman hands Joe the gun used to kill his parents, loaded with one bullet in the chamber. The outcome of this is obvious.

Some may argue that psychologically torturing Chill is an appropriate punishment for what he did to Bruce, yet doing so to the extent that he felt suicide was the only way out? That's undeniably a disproportionate response.
