    I agree that it did feel like some sorta editorial comment Winnick wanted to make personally, but it touches upon the age old question held over Batman, whether his presence causes or necessitates the existence of his rogue gallery.  Winnick clearly feels it is the former, whereas I think it is the latter.  I mean it’s analogous to the argument politicians have been making for years that violence on TV or video games cause crime.  My feeling is that if Batman were not there to stop the likes of Joker or Killer Croc, Gotham would be in a whole lotta trouble, and that the notion that the concept of his existence somehow gives people like a sub-conscious suggestion to become a crazed, maniacal costumed-killer is to me irrational.

    I agree (though a shared universe makes the existence of any one specific hero less important when it comes to stopping bad guys, IMO). But it’s possible that Winnick feels the same way. If the woman in his analogy gets raped, it’s completely the rapist’s fault and not her fault at all. Likewise, the costumed loons who tend to pop up around Batman are not Batman’s fault. I don’t know if that’s what Winnick intended to say with the line (because, again, it’s terrible and out of place), but it might be.

    Wasn’t it Max that said the line? I don’t know if I would attribute it directly to Winnick. I thought Winnick thought it was the sort thing Max would say. I think Winnick thought it was a clever, if evil, analogy. I agree it came off as a bit much.

    For me, the choice is either "that line came directly from Winnick" or "Winnick is really terrible at writing Max," because it’s not the way Max talks. Since Winnick writes Max pretty well overall, I’m choosing to believe that he (Winnick) just really liked the line and wanted to get it in the book.
