Second, they repeat "Goddamn Batman" constantly which wasn't funny to begin with & is just being done cause fans complained about it. Third, Bats bags Black Canary with masks on, way out of character. Fourth, even more out of character is Bats becoming worse than the Punisher in treatment of criminals.
