You know, you'd think Batman would know better than to attack a father and his kid walking home in an alleyway.

Oh yes, Martha is the only thing that can restrain this Batfflek from his killing and over the top ways. Terrible.

What's worse Batman taking him down in front of his daughter or Deadshot continuously pointing a gun at his daughter like he did? The second his kid step in front of him he should have turned the gun away.

I'm gonna play devil's advocate here. Although I didn't really like this movie, I was alright with this scene, and I'll tell you why.
Deadshot was the world's most deadliest assassin. Batman has shown himself to exploit weaknesses from time to time if he has to. I'm not sure why people wanted Batman to wait for Deadshot to be alone instead of taking him down when he had an opening. If he waited, there was the chance that Deadshot would go killing more people. I don't really think the daughter excuse grants a get-out-of-jail-free card, either. Deadshot was the world's most lethal assassin. He killed people. A ton of them. He
liked
killing people. You do not take chances with someone like that. Now, with Batman saying, "I don't wanna do this in front of your daughter", I looked at that as him saying, "I'm taking you in. Let's just do this the easy way so I don't have to beat you up in front of your kid". That's only my interpretation of the scene, though. To quote a favorite film of mine, Batman was essentially saying, "come quietly, or there will be trouble", Deadshot resisted, and Batman had to throw him a beating. I didn't like the idea of Batman having to be tipped off regarding Deadshot's whereabouts, or his overall lack of detective skills, which as we know as fans, could've provided better, more interesting circumstances through which he could've captured Deadshot, but unfortunately Ayer and Snyder refuse to explore that.
Furthermore, I'm not sure the alleyway argument works in this continuity considering Thomas and Martha Wayne were gunned down on an open sidewalk.
Logan, buddy. It's me, Deadpool! I shot youuuuuu.
