Batman violates the law left and right, and is hunted by the police of very city he has sworn to protect. Robin is too. Steel wastes his talents by putting on a crude suit of armor and punching things.

Anything they 'get done' is usually undone the next day. Put a drug dealer behind bars? Another mook is on the same corner the next day. Beat up the Joker tonight? Tomorrow comes the Penguin.

Life on a treadmill.

They fight battles. I wage wars.
