10 Times Batman Acted Like A Horror Movie Villain

4. The Warehouse Scene - Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice

Batman rescuing Ma Kent from a warehouse full of Lex Luthor's goons is undoubtedly a highlight of BvS. The scene showcases just how adept Batman is in hand-to-hand combat, although the wanton murder spree he goes on in the process could be taken directly from Maniac Cop.

Before the Dark Knight even arrives on the scene, he makes sure to use the bat-guns on his Batwing to blow up a few henchmen. But this is just a taste of what's to follow.

Batman proceeds to dismantle a room full of heavily armed thugs, breaking limbs and using their own machine guns against them. At one point, Batman stabs a thug with a malicious gleam in his eye straight out of the Freddy Kruger playbook before it's implied he crushes the henchman's testicles in his hand.

Batman tops it all off by breaking through a wall and then cold-bloodedly burning a henchman to death by setting his flamethrower on fire.

This massacre shows that this version of Batman is a remorseless killer that's nearly unstoppable and has a body count that would put Jason Voorhees to shame.
