Well true you're right. Overall Batman isn't as gory as AVP, though at times the themes are a lot darker. My original point is that if they can bring out a toyline based off these "gory" comics the same as they would a saturday morning cartoon show, and they can water down a R-rated franchise to a PG one, whats to stop them from marketing it towards kids. The statement was more tongue-in-cheek than anything, although clearly that was lost on this board.
