Okay, let's just stuff the friendzone stuff into a cupboard for a while and talk about nerdy things.
The title says it all. What so-called heroes are actually terrible people?
I'll start with the example that made me think of this thread; Batman in Arkham City.
It kinda becomes clear when you complete the main campaign. SPOILERS ON THE STARBOARD SIDE!
Also, he's a goddamn Liar. Think about it next time you interrogate someone for Riddler secrets.
"I can hurt you more than you can ever imagine"
"Okay! I'll tell you everything I know, just don't hurt me"
"You've been so educational"
*MASSIVE BAT-FIST TO SIDE OF SKULL*
I'd love it if occasionally, someone said "Y'know what? No. I've seen what you did to the other guys, I'll tell you what I know and then you'll just give me brain damage anyway. Gimme some food, at least."
So, what characters aren't as goody-goody as they're made out to be?

Thus, you hear inmates complaining about being hungry more often than before. Some of them say stuff like "This is getting ridiculous...they gotta feed us, right?", worrying that they've been left for dead. They've went from the tyranny of strange, to Tyger trying to blow them up, to starving slowly to death and occasionally being beat up by batman because one of their guard group decided to take bribes from Riddler.
So, Batman, how 'bout you go back to the whole social activist thing you were doing before being arrested, and convince someone to get some proper food in there, maybe arrange for prisoners to be transferred, hell, you could always slip back into the Batman costume and help out. Batman? Batma-
Oh. You're busy. Busy collecting Riddler trophies and chasing a cryptic Asshole in a robot-templar costume.
Yeah. Just keep an eye out for people trying to eat each other, kay?
