A lot of people were also disappointed in Batman for using a gun, since that's a trait that's really stuck ever since it was implemented, it's worth pointing out. Not that anyone in the Nanohaverse has a particular dislike of guns, but it's still a bit unpleasant, mostly because it's just Tsuzuki liking robots that led to them using these weapons.
Besides, that's giving the Huckebeins a bit TOO much credit. At that point Darkseid was causing the entire universe to die by existing, I believe. Poisoning a world or too doesn't really match up.
