>I won't kill you but I will wall you up in the sewer with no way out to slowly starve to death if you don't asphyxiate first from the gasses.
>>154716640It's fine. KGBeast survives this only for Batman to abandon him with a broken neck alone on a mountain decades later.
>>154716661Comics are so retarded.
>>154716640Imagine doing this to a nobody like KGBeast. The same villain who jobbed out to Tim Drake and the Huntress.
He's a better fighter than Batman (he would have kills Batman earlier but mistook Batman's defeat as a feint) and braver than him (when Batman trapped his arm he cut it off). The whole issue is building up to Batman not being able to punch or think his way into winning a fight, and even if he did the guy would be released by the police due to politics. It's an interesting take on "would Batman kill? When and why?" Later they retcon'd it into something that made no sense.
Batman was ok doing this stuff at the time. If a villain gets themselves killed that was on them. Joker mainly killed old rich people and henchmen so no one was wondering why Batman didn’t kill the guy who poisons babies.
>>154717668This wasn't really Beast getting himself killed. bats lead him into a trap. and purposely locked him in.
>>154716640He was the worst villain of all, a communist!
>>154718015he took the bus to work?
>>154717668I remember an issue where Joker murders a family and Batman vows to end him once and for all but then he just got over it I guess
>>154716640It's so wild that KGBeast used to be a threat.
>>154718170a really big one too. he was like Bane before there was a Bane
>>154718196He was actually going to be Bane at one pointThe early pitch for Knightfall was for it to be KGBeast doing it
>>154718170If you don't get a good showing in an adaptation then you're basically doomed to become fodder.
>>154718445That would have made a lot of sense.
>>154716640Didn't they walk this back after Starlin left? Supposedly Batman told the cops but by the time they got there he had escaped or something vague?
>>154718659Even if they didn't overtly walk it back it's the most obvious kind of non death death there was. He could have had him fall off a great height and it would have been less obvious.
>>154717843Yeah?
>>154718170if I wrote Batman I’d make him a threat again because why not
>>154716640dont worry. it was retconed like a year later
>>154720674Aww, did he awsow give the poow bawby wayby criminaw a dicky sucky whucky too?
>>154718445That explains why Bane is vaguely Cuban too. They still wanted to have Communist adjacent character.
>>154716640Reminds me of that scene where Lex Luther asks to fight clone superman and the clone jsut picks up the room Lex is in and chucks it.
>>154716640Then this writer went and killed Robin...Some people can't be trusted with a typewriter
>>154716640What’s funny is that, even in live action Batman also kills KGBeast shooting him with an M60 in BvS (yes, Lex Luthor’s final goon is KGBeast)
>>154717656This comic is so underrated
>>154717656> he would have kills Batman earlier but mistook Batman's defeat as a feint) and braver than him (when Batman trapped his arm he cut it off)That just makes KGbeast seem retarded, he basically became a perpetual cripple because he couldn’t escape capture otherwise, despite any low level criminal in Gotham escaping jail week;y.
>>154716640kGBeast always came off like a tryhard. Looked utterly ridiculous too.
>>154717588That's why we love them.
>>154720674What did he expect the police to do to mega assassin
>>154721719>Starlin got royalties for the use of KGBeast's real name but not for the use of Thanos
>>154721719>KGB>imperial eagle and orthodox cross tattoo??
>>154716640Yet he'll go out of his way to save the joker.
>>154725310Joker can't kick his ass. It's more surprising why he hasn't killed Bane.
>>154725320He had one of those am better than you because I don't kill moment
Is this the place to talk about NKVDemon?
