Does it really make sense for Bruce to quit being Batman over this? It's not like he actually shot the guy. and he still saved a girl's life who would literally be dead if he hadn't shown up.
It's not just that he almost used a gun. It's that, with everything else going for him, he still had a heart attack. He physically could not do it any more, and he was smart enough to know it.Ironically, I'll bet anything that his heart troubles are a direct result of steroid use when he was younger to boost his physical strength and stamina, precisely to enhance his ability to be Batman.
>>152799417He was struggling against common crooks, panicked, and drew a gun with intent to kill - something that goes against his code and ethics. It showed to him that he'd reached his limit, and if he didn't stop then and there, he'd do something he wouldn't be able to live with.
>>152799417buddyare you forgetting WHY he picked up the gun
I want to have sexual intercourse with InqueThat is all
>>152799417He's too old to continue
>>152799417Question for OP, why did you ask this question? Did you really not know the answer or did you want to start a Batman beyond thread and were too nervous to fully commit?
>>152799417Once again you are asking a stupid unanswerable question.
>>1527994171) He's Batman, and Batman does not use guns.2) He's used the gun as a last resort because his heart gave out on him3) His heart gave out because you can't actually go out every night risking your life beating up bad guys for years on end without it eventually catching up to you4) Even if it was to save his own life and/or the lives of others, he's still fucking Batman and Batman DOES NOT USE GUNSLike other anons have said, it was the moment Bruce recognized that at the end of the night, he's still just a guy in a bat costume, not an actual invincible super hero. He hit the end of the road and he knew it, so he stepped away
>>152799437>intent to killintent to threaten, for self-defensethat's the issue. Batman is supposed to make criminals scared. if they're only scared once he has a gun, he's fucked
>>152802377>he's still fucking Batman and Batman DOES NOT USE GUNSunless they're mounted on a vehicle, then it's fine
I mean he was getting bullied by regular guys even when using a suit that was still ahead of the game like a decade into the future, I can see why this was an eye opener.
>>152799430He was always disgusted at Venom use, I never got the idea that he did steroids. He would rarely sleep while always pushing his body to extremes and getting beaten up, that's why his body was falling apart. Being a 'normal' vigilante is bad for your health, and he had to deal with Justice League threats on top of all that.
>>152803469>Rubber bullets. Honest.
>>152799417>I'm ignoring that his heart was fucking assaulting him.
>>152803469The Batmobile uses guns, there's a differenceIf Batman pulls a trigger, that's attached to a thing, and the thing has guns attached to it, it's fair game
