After all, no heroes are "welcome additions" to crime-fighting right now--that wouldn't be broody or sacrificy enough. Every hero has to be Silver or Bronze Age Spider-Man or Hulk, hunted by the police or opposed by the U.S. military, constantly saving us even though we distrust and hate them.
Still there's a chance a modern Man-Bat headline wouldn't just be the "Threat Or Menace" variety.
No, the nu52 headline would go
MAN-BAT SLAUGHTERS CHILD PORNOGRAPHER WHILE HIS CHILDREN WATCH
with the sub-headline
BATMAN LOOKS ON APPROVINGLY
sigh...
From Batman Family #18 (1978)
