AAH! no! It was a set of great comedy series(es) made in Britain starring Rowan Atkinson. I'm actually surprised you didn't know that. Anyway, here's a quick link to the wiki. Anyway, here's a quick question: should anti-hero's count?

Anyway, here's a quick question: should anti-hero's count? Yes, as long as we can keep their actions in perspective. For example, The Punisher does rid the streets of NYC of drug lords and what-not, but at the cost of his humanity.

Yeah, i was going to say him. I wouldn't say he looses his humanity though. I would rather say that he's actually more useful and humanitarian than other hero's. Joker has killed at least 2000 or so people. Batman keeps putting him in arkham but he always gets out. The punisher could have killed him and saved many of those lives. Which is more humane? saving a criminal and killing 2000 civilians, or killing the criminal and saving all those people?

The problem with killing Joker, though, is that Batman will become that which he fights; a blood-thirsty monster. The reason why he [Batman] keeps on sending Joker back to Arkham is because he believes that Joker can become a productive member of society.
