As far as that goes, the 2003 version made Atom seem to be very different from earlier versions in that he simply would not accept to fact that some people were evil. He tried to change them, & occasionally [as I recall] succeeded. Granted, 80s Atom constantly strove to change Atlas' attitudes toward humanity, & eventually succeeded, but so much more in the '03 version.
