Two Great Tastes That Do Not Taste Great Together

You know, like chorizo and marzipan, or something similarly dissonant.

This has been around, but it bears mentioning that I love Dostoyevsky, and I love Batman, but Batman makes a lousy Raskol'nikov. True, both have feelings of righteousness and superiority. Batman, however, has a singleminded, maniacal compulsion to rid the world of crime, while Rodion Raskol'nikov had delusions of being an "extraordinary" man to whom the law didn't apply (I think--it's been a while since I read Crime and Punishment in college, and literary analysis was never my strong suit).
