* BrokenBase: The fanbase likes to debate over whether or not the edit to the hostage scene was justifiable (edited to where Batman disarms his opponent as opposed to shooting them). Supporters argue that it 'fixes' Batman's character, detractors argue that it [[{{Bowdlerization}} bowlderizes the scene]], doesn't fit Frank Miller's [[AntiHero characterization]] of [[SociopathicHero Batman]] and dilutes the effectiveness of his BoneOneLiner.
