Doesn't he burn a bat-insgnia into a criminal's chest so that he'll get raped and/or killed in prison? 

Look I like a darker iteration of Batman as much as the next guy, but this is just flat out not the character at all. 

The Bale version embodied heroism moreso while still being dark, "It's not who I am, but what I do that defines me", etc. etc. etc. 

And that's enough to call script shoddy ? Seriously ?

It wouldnt be the first dark version of Batman, nothing schoking compared to some comics, so it's factually wrong to say it's not the character at all because you dont like this version of Batman, there are several versions of Batman, he changes, evolves, makes mistakes depending on his experiences, just like the Bale version, there would be a lot to tell about the Batman in the last Nolan movie.

Yes I would say not understanding one of your lead characters is "shoddy" scriptwriting. Honestly it gets a lot wrong about Superman too. 

This isn't the first "dark" version of Batman, lol, Hollywood has been doing dark Batman since 1989 and profiting handsomely off it. 

This is the first psychotic mass murdering, gun totting Batman though. I don't see that as neccessarily true to the character at all though. 

In this movie if Clark's mother was named anything but Martha, he wouldn't been blugdeoned to death with a freaking dirty bathroom sink by Batman, lol. Even in the Dark Knight Returns comic, Batman is never that much of a murdering nut job (he fights Superman but uses a low does of Kyrptonite to teach Superman a lesson to stay out of his way, but never intends to murder him). 

If this is the "best" Batman, then IMO a lot of people don't understand this character at all.
