Batman... officially hardcore.

This isn't because of the whole "sod you Darkseid, I'm going to shoot your arse, and it's your fault I'm using a gun" stuff from Final Crisis.
Or the years of being the smartest man around.
Or kicking all colours of hell while in the Justice Leage (AND, incidentally, the only one of the "core seven" who wasn't (1) an alien, (2) an immortal warrior princess (3) King of Atlantis (4) Having a magic ring or (5) super-speed. He was pure, 100% human.
Or scaring the crap out of an invading army, who have previously beat the hell out of every super powered being on earth with the phrase "I know your secret" in fiery letters (despite the fact that this IMO *is* the most crowning moment of awesome ever).

Rather it's Batman, after having his head messed with for months by a secret organisation. Drugged. His personality torn to shreds. His meaning of life destroyed.
All by someone called "Doctor Hurt".

Who is Doctor Hurt?
He's the bleeding devil. The. Devil. As in "God's number #1 enemy".

And what does Batman do?
Basically tells him where to jam it, and then blows up the helicopter they were in.
The Joker's only comment is to say "Told you so".
