The movie actually decreased Batman's coolness level.

In the original 'Flashpoint' comic young Bruce Wayne was the one killed in the alley that night. His father Thomas, a noted surgeon, decided to become the Caped Crusader. Mrs. Wayne lost her mind and became the Joker. Thomas didn't have years to train, so he used a dangerous, addictive version of the super soldier serum he got from a disgraced hero named Hour Man [because he was only strong for an hour][ yes, it's really stupid to let your enemies know your biggest weakness, but c'mon, it was created in the 1940s and the guy was an addict...]

In the comics, Batman was much more violent than we are used to.
