Sweet. Minus side, no "Dark Knight Returns" or Batman by Neal Adams, Marshall Rogers, Jim Aparo and other great Bat Artists. Plus side, no Joel Schumacher Bat-Movies.

As a result of this incident, Bruce Wayne began his crusade against crime by gunning down the Joker, the Cat, the Penguin and Two-Face. However, as Gotham was quickly eradicated of "super-villains" or indeed criminals of any kind, Batman was eventually reduced to tasing people who asked nutty questions of famous politicians. ;)

The best thing about this origin would be no chance for Frank Miller to make Batman a friggin' psycho for 9 issues.
