Perhaps the Guardians of Oa don't have the same ethics as Earth and beating criminals to death is just part of the job. It isn't an abuse of power but an exercise of it. It's your fault for committing the crime. To quote Judge Dredd, "I am the law!" This would also give a "hero" strong enough to take on Superman.
In your scenario Lobo would be the greatest hero in the galaxy. :D
If Aquaman was a despotic ruler on his realm he would be interesting. Give me Namor over Aquaman any day.
I see Bruce Wayne becoming a cross between Lex Luthor and the Kingpin from Marvel. He's tough enough to fight but he doesn't sully himself to wear a costume. He'll let his army of teenaged mercenaries break your legs and take over your criminal empire to make his grow. He'll spend fortunes collecting every milligram of kryponite so he can enslave Superman and use him against his enemies.
In fact I see Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor as the Professor X and Magneto of Earth 3. Both have opposite visions of how the world will be and struggle against each other to win. Both are narcissists though and believe the other to be the only one truly able to provide a challenge so they fight the fight through pawns. Luthor has the Justice League (Joker, Green Lantern, etc.) and Wayne has his mercs (Robin, Nightwing, Oracle, etc.)
