Doesn't matter. Evolution believes in them.

Or stealth like taking on the strongest being in the world by standing by a bright spotlight?

He could've done a bit more.
And here we, once again, come back to the obvious.
This is not Bruce Wayne at the point that we usually see Bruce Wayne.
This is a Bruce Wayne who cares a lot less about his secret identity, and the trappings of said.
And that decision made a lot of sense, yaaaah?This is a Bruce Wayne who cares a lot less about his secret identity, and the trappings of said.
People keep looking at this portrayal of a character through the lens of what they wish he was, or what they think he should be and finding fault with the lack of certain classic elements of the character, which are intentionally subverted here.
Then this is true.

Damn, Daniel, they're back at it again with the "preconceived notions" argument.
Tell that to Zod's snapped neck.The meme is dead. Bury it...

So, do you think this was a wise decision at the outset of a DC cinematic universe? To feature an old, bitter broken Batman who has shunned his life? Or do you think it just happened because Zack Snyder (mis)read The Dark Knight Returns one too many times?

Most of those people are wanting that because we want him to have the opportunity to finally be done right in this series, though.

It's called putting things into context.
A fireman carries an axe on the job because it is needed to chop through obstacles (such as doors and walls) and to clear debris out of his path (such as fallen roof material and furniture) as they look for people to rescue.
A crime fighter carries an axe on the job because it is needed to chop through obstacles (such as murders and terrorists) and to clear debris out of his path (such as thieves and those who park in handicapped parking spaces when they aren't really handicapped) as they roam the city.
Turning a character into something that goes against the morality of who they are is always wrong.
Come again? Only WB can say what's the right way to portray Batman? No offense, but if you want to think that way and be a fan who accepts what ever he's given just because the movie people decided that's what was best, then that's up to you.
I, and anyone else, have the ability to think for myself, and the god given right to say what we think is right or wrong for these characters. The only thing WB has final say on is the choice of interpretation to use because it's their movie. Them having final say on that doesn't make their choice right.
I've no idea what you're talking about. I am factually showing you that killer Batman has always gotten a backlash from fans because it's a bad characterization.
You trying to say it's just a different version is a weak attempt to white wash a bad characterization into simply being something different. You could call an awful characterization something different, but it's still wrong and awful.
Nolan's Batman didn't go around needlessly slaughtering criminals. He didn't brand them for death in jail. He didn't hospitalize innocent security guards.
If they didn't think their original versions were wrong, they would have spoken about it being unnecessary to change Batman's code. When you think it was a total around for the character, it's not a minor change that was made. The character is saying killing is wrong, which means what the character originally was is wrong. Finger had no apparent issue with that.
I don't see how it's debatable considering that's who the character is and has been for over 75 years. You turn the character into something they are not, that goes against a moral value that defines them as heroes and people, there's no grey area here. That is wrong.
