DC Is Pushing Its Character Assassination Of This Batman Antihero Too Far

It’s almost impossible to not love an antihero. DC Comic book characters like Jason Todd (Red Hood), John Constantine, and Harley Quinn bend the rules in ways that Batman and Superman can’t and won’t. This gives them a more realistic and relatable feel because they’re doing things many people would like to do. Sadly, there are moments when they do something that removes the hero from the title. In this case, there’s a Batman character named Lonnie Machin, aka Anarky. Thanks to soon-to-be ex-mayor Poison Ivy, Gotham City is currently ground zero of something that could lead to an extinction-level event.
