We May See Batman at His Darkest in ‘Dawn of Justice’


Batman is pretty much known in the DC Universe for being the one of the most passionate heroes. The Caped Crusader is hell bent on fighting crime in Gotham using whatever means necessary. However, a new report by Cinema Blend has revealed that we may not have seen yet what the Dark Knight is truly capable of.

In Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Batman wants to take justice into his own hands. It looks like the hardened superhero has considered murder an option to restore peace and order.

Producer Charles Roven recently sat down with Empire and explained how Bruce Wayne turned into a cynical judge of justice.

According to Roven, Bruce suffered so much death around him via unnatural means, such as his parents gunned down and Robin killed by The Joker. Since Ben Affleck's Batman saw "the worst of what man can do," he will reportedly be willing to go the extra mile to fight the bad guys.

Roven said:

Batman is not giving people a chance... He is more than a vigilante. He has become not only the cop, if you will, he has also become the jury and executioner.

It wouldn't be surprising that such tragedies would harden even the most compassionate heroes, especially Batman.

In fact, Roven said Bruce will be so paranoid about Superman that he's willing to "destroy him" under any circumstance, even being brainwashed by Lex Luthor, to save mankind.

Since most modern adaptations of the Caped Crusader has shown him unwilling to kill for justice, it's a bit disturbing if we see Wayne actually killing someone in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

It's already known that Superman and Batman will eventually team up in the film, it's still interesting to see what looks like Batman's darkest version yet.

We'll just have to wait until March 25 to see what Gotham City's hero is really up to.
