Random Death of Background "Extras"

[stephsvoice]

The most recent use of this was during Battle For The Cowl: Damian showing off the Batmobile to some random girl, gets a call to check something out from Oracle, Babs ejects the girl out of the car leaving her to fend for herself, Killer Croc eats her.  Whatever happened to our beloved characters feeling remorse for being even partially responsible for someones death.  Damian didn't seem to care that because of his showing-off a girl was killed, he was more concerned about Nightwing hearing him cry for his Mother.  Nightwing makes a joke about not telling anyone.  Batman (Bruce) would have removed Damian from any future hero work without a second thought.  This kind of 'no-care' writing has been going on for awhile now, background 'extras' die and the hero acts like it wasn't even worth noticing.  A lot of this happened in recent Robin comics.  What is the point of reading hero comics if the heroes themselves don't care for all life.  When Jason returned as Red Hood and planted bombs in drug labs, Batman went out of his way to save the dealers.

Love Batman or hate him: he set a standard of heroism, all life is to be saved.  All plans must be executed with a zero body count.  Tim, Dick, Damian, Barbara; they do a half-assed job now and that sucks.  No Batman, no standards.  Superman, Flash, Wonder Woman, they don't need standards because the world moves in slow motion for them, saving a building full of people is childs play.  The bat family is supposed to be at that level without powers or at least feel something when they fail to save everyone.

I'll stick to writing my own DCUniverse.
