Why do people call Batman's morality "Kantian" when Immanuel Kant supported the death penalty?
>>18580667The reference to Kant is focused on his deontological philosophy, not political opinion.Regardless of this, the real reason Batman has his no kill rule, is because DC wants to market him to kids. Originally he had guns and killed people.
>>18580726>Market him to kids>Still allow him to brutalize goons and poor people, breaking their spines, skulls, leaving them in vegetative states>The real bad guys, the big bosses like joker, get a slap on the wrist and hugs and batman even shares a beer with them and laughs at their jokes when not fightinghuh, so this is good morality to show to kids according to historical american values
>>18580726>Originally he had guns and killed people.lol, wut? where?
>>18580819>>Still allow him to brutalize goons and poor people, breaking their spines, skulls, leaving them in vegetative statesTbh , you are asuming he doesn't fix their spines later.
kant is a retard for losers, same as camus
>>18580819>>Still allow him to brutalize goons and poor people, breaking their spines, skulls, leaving them in vegetative statesPeople always say this yet I can't recall a single instance where this has ever happened, and I'm a faggot loser who has actually read some of the comics.

>>18580819>good morality to show to kidsLol. They are selling comic books not morality.
>>18581656Lol
>>18581682Batman never goes out of his way to kill people but he also won't help criminals who get themselves killed by their own actions
>>18581689>their own actionsLol
>>18580819>wahhh Batman beats up poor people!>hes evil bc hes rich!>he needs to give away all his money to gay NGO grifters we need mo money fo dem programs!congrats, you've outed yourself as an insufferable piece of shit
>>18581698It's not Batmans fault that the villain happened to be leaning against a non-OSHA compliant railing over a vat of acid that happened to break when he punched him
>>18580819Batman correctly realized that the only way to keep high-profile villains from terrorizing regular people was to give them high-profile enemies like himself. By propping up high-profile villains and putting them in an Asylum that's literally designed to be easy for them to break out of and not outright killing them it also prevents other high-profile villains from popping up as it's too competitive of an environment. He knows how this works because it's a reflection of the business world he's apart of as Bruce Wayne
>>18581702>their own actionsThe criminal probably built the non-OSHA conpliant rail, so maybe it is his fault after all.
>>18581682You seriously can't be relying on his first appearance when the character still wasn't fully fleshed out. Plus, that story isn't even canon to the character anymore.
>>18581698Old testament Batman.
>>18581711So Batman designed a system to waste their time and energies with the catch-and-release game in order to prevent them from causing real damage or being replaced by more dangerous criminals.Good guy batman. Real law enforcement should take a page out of his book Hell, make his comics mandatory training manuals or something
>>18582170>Real law enforcementWhat do you think all of these never ending proxy wars are?
>>18582170>prevent them from causing real damage
