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. 

Actually, in the original comics, Batman uses guns all the time. People seem to either have a selective memory, or they just like to complain about things that they have little knowledge of.

In more recent comics, Batman drops Lois Lane from a building as a gamble to regain Superman's senses. If his gamble did not pay off, Lois would be meshed in with the pavement. Batman has always teetered on the edge of madness. That is a crucial part of his character. Hence why the Joker is always trying to push him all the way over.

Also, Michael Keaton's Batman attaches bombs to random goons, and he smiles when the explode into nothing but ashes. Again, something people seem to collectively forget so they can make a criticism based on false claims.
