Besides always being booked in feuds with guys who are supposed to be heels, I mean? Seriously, what face characteristics does he have in and of himself right now?
It seems to me he generally comes off as much more of a heel...
-He throws temper tantrums and abuses opponents after he loses.
-He's been the beneficiary of decisions by authority figures, including changes of the rules of matches in mid-stream.
-He randomly attacks opponents in non-match situations without being physically provoked.
-He has an arrogant, sense-of-entitlement persona.
Really, during the entire feud with Edge, if it weren't for the facts that Edge had been established as a heel by how he won the belt and the way he's booked, Davey wouldn't have looked like a face at all. It seemed like a heel-versus-heel matchup.
So what face credentials can Bats claim? The guy is pretty over, I'm sorry to say, but why do the WWE marks love him so much? Will they just cheer for anybody the E tells them to cheer for? Would they stay as loud if he officially turned heel?

"That's my belt and come Sunday I'll be needing it back" is something I would expect from a heel.

Batista also shoots the crowd with a machine gun before his pyro goes off...
Really, tonight's Smackdown really confused me.
Khali is excited to be world champion. So excited that he throws a party. Batista crashes the party and demands a title match, insulting the champion.
The champion, not enjoying the rude behavior, say, "No." Therefore Batista attacks Khali without warning as Michael Cole seemingly orgasms as "The true champion" takes charge.
It is a truly good question. How is he the good guy again?

The fans cheer him seems like a good reason.

They're all very valid points. Hopefully it won't be too long before the fans get tired of him.

Same thing that makes Cena a face: kids and screaming women who think they have a chance.

I dont know that he's ever truley been a face. He powerbombed Triple H through a table. But he just wanted his belt and was sick of being treated like a sidekick to Hunter. So he turned on him and took his belt.
Later in the year when he's on SD, he never trusted Eddie Guerrero's "friendship" and even sarcasticly discussed it all the time. A true face usually accepts any explanation, no matter how stupid when someone goes from heel to face. Look at Sting for instance. He got turned on how many times for trusting everyone?
Ive always seen Batista as a tweener who just happens to get overwelmingly cheered. Theres really nothing that he does that makes him a face charecter wise.

I think they are trying to make him an edgy face Character. Comes across as a jerk to me though.

RAW and SmackDOWN were both strange.
Carlito makes a mistake and apologises to Lashley immediately and publically, yet Lashley pummels him and....this makes Lashley a face?
Khali is having a celebration in a manner appropriate to his culture and is clearly overjoyed and Botchtista interrupts rudely and strikes the champion without provocation and....this makes Boretista a face?
Very odd.

I always disliked Batista. I don't get the appeal and for the reasons listed above.

They should start planting a puppy near the entrance so he can kick it on his way to the ring every week.

Because he was mean to Triple H. Anyone who beats up a heel HHH is automatically a face.
