Having this team fight large numbers of heavily armed men with training was stupid except for these dudes having Star Wars Trooper Syndrome. Sights - we don't need no stupid sights - We will shoot twenty feet away from you.
Robot Chicken and one graphic novel had it correctly with the mocking of Bats and GA by Guy with a Rock and in the latter, having Amazo bust up GA to make him nuts.
A recent SWAT (gun magazine) had a column making fun of tactical archers who are channeling Walking Dead Daryl and GA and thinking that arrows really would work in our world. Where I live, some guy saw his car being jacked and ran out with his bow - to be shot.
