What if Batman went rouge?

Batman with Sinestro ring plus Venom

I think it will make a nice elseworlds story , where Batman after years of fighting villains & crime , finally snaps & becomes a control freak , he starts seeing all superhumans as threat to humanity , betrays them & makes a (watchmen+tower of babel style) plan to take them all out . He strikes a deal with Lex , Ra'as & other super intelligent humans to help him but later double crosses them too..........Later in his plan Bats goes more & more psycho , thinks as long as superhumans are alive , there will be no peace & wants to control all other countries so he can world a better place like a Well Intentioned Extermist . Martian Manhunter & few other powerful heroes get taken down first. Superman here who's for some reasons is retired for many years , after death of his old teammates comes out of it to find out who's been killing superhumans & foil Bruce's evil plan. This universe's superhumans should be weaker then other universes & Bats should be in his most powerful & intelligent version of all time to even things up .

Yeah I agree. I just thought that loosing his biggest moral view would also change his views on other things but from OP's point your theory is more correct although I still think he might use venom if the time calls, if he uses guns then what's stopping him from using drugs. right?

A number of individuals could take care of this

@rustyroy: Yes, he would take Batman down. I didn't say he'd take him out.

@powerherc: But why would he take him down?

Superman throws him in the sun. :D

Because he went rogue.

But Superman rarely goes after these kind of guys.

it would be MUCH better. I prefer Bruce Waynes dad to him as the Batman.

Depends in if he can convince the non-killing heroes to tolerate him.

Swords are cool yo.

Seriously I didn't read Flashpoint so all I know about Thomas is that he used a sword at some point.

Although in Jean's defense he did try to avoid killing for a while.

@decoyelite: talking about the Animated Movie, He used Guns there and wasn't afraid to kill

also i read the Small mini story with him involving Martha

@freak_spawn: So he was just Batman with guns? Kinda meh sounding to me, but I probably should see the movie before I judge.

not exactly.

he did use guns but there was a different angle to him.

Agreed.

I know, that was the whole point of Knight Quest and Knight's End.

Although for the record, by your logic he was Batman for almost all of Knight Quest.

@theacidskull: Just wondering, have you read Knight's Quest? Because I wonder if you think his first kill really counts or not.

Jean doesn't actually kill the dude on purpose. The guys hanging on a ledge about to fall into acid and Jean suffers from a mental breakdown when deciding if he should help the guy out.

Basically he was too busy listening to the talking heads in his mind to notice the guy fall.

@theacidskull: But yeah after that he goes full crazy, basically outfitting himself with a batarang machine gun. Haven't read Knight's End yet so I don't know if he actually kills anyone.

Knight's Quest was enjoyable for me because I think a Batman who's really off his rocker is pretty interesting. It's still not that great overall though.

He probably does indeed, unless Bruce stops him before he can.

@theacidskull: Yeah, Bruce killing would pretty much ruin his character.

@imaloserforbeinghere:

Well since Batman never used guns, he wouldn´t be good fighter with guns at first. Well Deathstroke use other type weapons plus Batman has plans to stop him and any hero if he went rogue, and his weakness is that he is only a human.

if batman went rogue, he would definitely become much stronger than he is now , using grenades and guns to eliminate opponents quickly without effort , but i still think he would be be stronger than deathstroke, just a "bit" weaker. Just imagine Batman without morals, scary as fuck, h is already scary and now he can kill you without regret !
