 Far less favorable views of Anarky have also been offered . Newsarama contributor George Marston was especially scathing of the character 's politics and costume , placing Anarky at No.8 on a list of the " Top 10 Worst Batman villains of all time . " Deriding the character as a " living embodiment of an Avril Lavigne t @-@ shirt " , he pointed out the pointlessness of being inspired to super heroics by radical philosophy , and the contradictory nature of fighting crime as an anarchist . He concluded by referring to the unsuccessful Anarky series as proof that " bad decisions are timeless " . Similarly , Cracked contributor Henrik Magnusson listed Anarky 's debut at No.3 on a list of " 5 Disastrous Attempts at Political Commentary in Comic Books . " Magnusson 's scorn focused on Anarky 's poorly written speeches , which he derided as " pedantic " and laden with " pseudo @-@ philosophical catchphrases . " Referring to the original identity of Lonnie Machin as a " naive pre @-@ teen " , Magnusson considered this fine satire of " base @-@ level philosophy " and teen rebellion . However , the understanding that Grant had intended Anarky to be a vehicle for his personal views , and that the " Anarky in Gotham City " narrative describes Batman as sympathetic to his goals , if not his methods , upset Magnusson .
