[quote]No, Batman is a superhero. He's not morally flawed. He fights for good.[/quote] He's a madman who happens to be pointed at other madmen. And Sentry fights for good as well. Or at least tried to. He's easily manipulated. [quote]People like the Punisher who quite clearly have morally questionable tendencies, but generally try to be good, are antiheros. Sentry falls under that category, Batman does not.[/quote] Dressing up as a bat and dishing out his own brand of illegal justice (and by that I mean going out to beat street punks within an inch of their lives) is pretty morally questionable, broseidon. He has his "no killing" code and a strong belief in justice, but his means of doing so are pretty grey. He's not as bad as other antiheroes, such as Frank Castle, but he's still an antihero.

[quote]He's a madman who happens to be pointed at other madmen. And Sentry fights for good as well. Or at least tried to. He's easily manipulated.[/quote] That doesn't change his morality. He's never compromised or teetered on the lines of good/bad. The only time he came close to killing was when he threatened Joker, and that was about it. Sentry and Punisher offhandedly kill people without a cursory thought, whilst trying to be good. That's anti heroism. [quote]Dressing up as a bat and dishing out his own brand of illegal justice (and by that I mean going out to beat street punks within an inch of their lives) is pretty morally questionable,[/quote] By that logic, Superman donning a spandex clad suit whilst dishing out his own brand of illegal justice makes him an anti hero. Vigilante =/= antihero [quote]He has his "no killing" code and a strong belief in justice, but his means of doing so are pretty grey.[/quote] Because he's slightly grittier than other superheroes? Sorry, that doesn't classify him as an antihero. [quote]He's not as bad as other antiheroes, such as Frank Castle, but he's still an antihero.[/quote] No, he's a superhero. His very description attests this.
