To be fair, I think Brubaker and Rucka probably got pushed into doing that iteration of Batman - the jerkass version - again once people like Loeb and Lee came in to do Hush, which was the story that did the 180 on Bruce's attitude again.
You can't, after all, expect them to go against the grain there. Loeb/Lee were the bigger creative team and set the tone for the next few years. And I don't think Murderer/Fugitive fizzled out to nothing. To me, it carried along and wrapped up quite a few plot points quite well, as well as involving a good amount of characters in a natural way.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
