Does it really make sense that Batman is against Police Brutality?
>>
>>215061969
If superheros existed irl they would be called racist since the people they beat up and arrest would disproportionately be browns and blacks
>>
>>>/co/
>>
>>215062001
Some people irl already call Batman a fascist because he beats criminal up.
>>
>>215061969
He’ll have some excuse on how his actions aren’t systemic or some gay shit.
>>
>>215061969
It's crazy that batman beats both criminals and police to a pulp pretty often in his comics
>>
>>215061969
>Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to fracture a jaywalker’s skull
>>
>>215061969
brutalizing mentally ill hobos and prostitutes should be a rich man's privilege
>>
>>215062001
if superheroes were real, they would be fighting supervillains, not random shoplifters, dumbass
>>
>>215061969
Batman is a product of a different time, when a rich man dressing up like a bat and beating up criminals, who stole jewels from other rich people, was something that people wanted to read about. Police brutality was never an issue for that Batman, because it did not exist. It was everyone's expectations that the police are good and virtuous.

We no longer live in this time, and so now we have Absolute Batman - a communist out to each the rich.
>>
>>215062413
Batman beats up street criminals all the time

Ahem, eat the rich

The hell are you talking about
>>
Batman has been fighting corrupt and abusive cops for decades in the books. Miller's Year One was a parallel story about both Batman and then Lieutenant Gordon dealing with the corrupt Gotham Police.
>>
>>215062528
Absolute Batman is an alternate timeline / Elseworlds series by Scott Snyder that started a year or so back. Bruce is cut off from his inhertance and his mom is still alive as a rich socialite.
>>
police have rules of when and how to use force, with some dispensation for extraordinary situations. if they can't abide by their own rules then they're no better than the thugs

>>215062574
>Bruce is cut off from his inhertance and his mom is still alive as a rich socialite
That's not at all true. You clearly haven't read it, dude.

Our current iteration of Batman was conceptualized back during the high crime rates of 1980's new york (You can see this in The Dark Knight Returns and Batman 89'). But when you try to do the gritty vigilante who stops muggings in a post 9/11 world, it just feels outdated
>>
>>215061969

no it doesnt, especially if they establised that those badboys are affraid of batman and not of the cops. Only snyder captured batman in a realistic way. That guy absolutely kills and is absolutely more brutal than the cops themselves.
>>
>>215062442
When rich men fugged boipussy and fought crime in spandex underwear
>>
>>215062546
Miller is liberal idiot. I’m against police brutality as I write about a vigilantly beating the fuck out of criminals. What Batman does is billion times worse m. He’s not an officer of the law. He has zero legal standing to do anything he does. Let alone assault people. He can’t claim self protection because he’s looking for criminals to beat up
>>
>>215062606
Which is nice in theory but you know they get away with a lot of shit still.

>DURR HURR you're anti-cop
No I'm not. I just want a better standard of the people who are supposed to serve and protect us.

>>215062613
Nobody here reads comics.

Bruce Wayne's money and charities provide valuable jobs and projects to help out Gotham. And he's been a long advocate in giving ex-cons and anyone who else who made piss-poor decisions a chance in rehabilitation. He only beats up criminals because he has to stop them, but he never kills and he doesn't use guns.

And Batman: Year One >>215062546 had him go against the corrupt officials, organized crime, and big business who were destroying Gotham as much as the petty thugs and low-lives in the streets. Bruce Wayne is against ALL forms of criminals in Gotham.
>>
>>215062761
> Only snyder captured batman in a realistic way. That guy absolutely kills and is absolutely more brutal than the cops themselves

So he’s The Punisher
>>
>>215062788
Gotham has a long history of vigilantes. Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern was its original protector. And in the post-1985 Crisis on Infinite Earths revamp of the DC universe, the Reaper, a brutal vigilante who actually shot and sliced up criminals (even hookers) operated 20 years before Bruce took up the cape & cowl. Gotham is a rotten city and even without a Batman, there was always going to be a costumed vigilante to rise up against the filth.
>>
Not against armed opposition or criminals who put up a fight but he would probably be against cops who punish helpless criminal who is already caught.
>>
>>215062876

Basically never happens
>>
>>215062817
No he isn't. In the original 1930's and 1940's comics, Batman did indeed kill and even used guns.

But when he got reinvented in the Silver and Bronze Ages, he was a vigilante who had to do the dirty stuff that the cops and other legitimate figures couldn't do but he never crossed the line like taking a life. That's not on him to decide. Leslie Thompkins, a doctor who runs a street clinic, is Bruce's surrogate mother figure and instilled in him the sanctity of life. Without her guidance, he would've become something like the Punisher.
>>
>>215062814
haha you fag

I know that, it’s a comic book. Talking about the lack of self awareness

says who?
>>
>>215062888
It’s kind of a stupid distinction anyway, in real life if you can’t just go around constantly beating the hell out of people without accidentally killing someone.
>>
>>215062546
Do really White cops beat random nigs so easily?
No way they dont get shot and stab to death.
>>
>>215061969
Unless you haven't figured it out, all of the major superheroes were created by Jews and push propaganda that is useful to Jews like going easy on criminals and going hard on cops.
>>
>>215062413
superheroes subdue petty criminals too
>>
>>215061969
No, as a supposed super-detective he should've been able to understand that it's a myth that is vastly exaggerated by the media and by left-wing/brown activists.
He'd also notice that 90% of the violent criminals he interacts with are black, unless Gotham just happens to have an entirely white demographic, which is highly unlikely given its crime rate.
If anything, he'd be accused of brutality and for beating up too many non-whites.
>>
>>215062413
Post Batman beating a nonviolent shoplifter then.

Worlds Greatest Detective never realized he could just use the old Bat Dick for justice

commie-troon lmao @ your sad life.
>>215062606
this sort of rhetoric made a degree of sense back before ethnic crime gangs became a billion-dollar enterprise and the built-to-fail war on drugs spent 30 years ruining american society while their traitorous leaders sold out their people.

Police in the west are utterly outmatched by these insular gangs and have been completely hamstrung by civil rights activists. Cops being able to physically abuse criminals to get information and threaten them with crimes they didn't specifically commit, but they know the scumbag did other things warranting jail regardless, are the bread and butter of actually policing a society and keeping it clean. Doing everything by the book, means criminals walk en-masse and you fail in your goal. The current state of low grade crime epidemics is testament to this, alongside the popularity of The Shield and Life on Mars.

A cop is not a robot, they have a brain, they can, if they're not stupid, with an above 90% success rate, spot a criminal on sight once they're experienced enough at their job, but in no western country can they actually ACT on that knowledge legally. I can tell all sorts of things from my customers within 10 seconds of talking to them in my job (casino), and how much money they are willing to spend with a 95+% accuracy, and i tailor what im saying and doing accordingly. Same thing.
>>
>>215062725
>it just feels outdated
No, it doesn't. The problem is that we live in an insane world, where the worst people imaginable are painted as innocent victims, and the good, productive or average people are painted as the villains.

>What Batman does is billion times worse
No.. While vigilante actions are wrong it's still the actions of one man. In most case they are technically still criminal actions too. So while bad they are still no where near as bad as illegal systemic governmental actions of the state against it's own citizens.
Picture this like a solo doctor making the illegal choice to go against the hippocratic oath VS the entire medical field doing it. One teacher deciding girls under 13 are OK to sex up VS the entire department of education say it as a guideline.
It's not apples to apples. It's why Floyd's death, despite him being a total scum bag, was way worse that a conservative raise guy shooting Charlie Kirk.

if it was said by a fat hispanic i suppose there's a degree of plausible deniability? Or is it the same type of retarded virtue signal like in spidercuck: far from home where the snarky liberal student said the DC pyramid was built by slaves?

You haven't read it. The Waynes weren't rich in the world.
>>
>>215063797
Does it? I haven't kept up but isn't this good for the cops then? They always argue that if everyday people they stop have nothing to fear if they're not doing any crimes, the same applies to cops when they're on-camera at all times.
>>
>>215063883
most of the "he dindu nuffin" routine is just completely obliterated because the next day the body cam footage comes out and shows he did in fact do sumfin

That's totally in character
>rich billionaire who thinks only he can save HIS city/world
>beats people far worse than some of his own villains
>cops doing exactly what he would if not less is somehow against his code
Of course a billionaire psycho thinks only he should be allowed to dole out punishment. I just hope someone called him out on it like one of the cops saying "I just scraped up some dudes teeth who was running away from you what about due process there huh? Or are you too busy helping the joker escape again so he can kill someone else I love?"
>>
>>215063907
LOL, that's fucking hilarious.

Then why are there cops who are against wearing the body cameras? It makes their accusers look like assclowns.
>>
>>215063907
just because someone acted like a nigger doesn't mean you get to rodney king them once they are in cuffs. Plus all the white men answering the doors and being blasted on sight despite wrong address.
>>
Yes you retards, the whole point of Batman since 1987 is that he is as mentally ill as the people he fights, you figured it out, case closed, great job
>>
>>215061969
I've never liked Batman, this char makes no sense to me.
if he's so smart why can't he see the big problem in Gotham is bad politicians and corruption?
if he's a genius billionaire, why doesn't he work with the feds to change things? Can't be that hard to trap a corrupt judge or politician considering his position.
If arkham asylum is so shit at keeping insane criminals locked why doesn't he just build he own private prison?
if people are poor why doesn't he create more jobs? even bs jobs would probably help reduce criminality a bit.
>>
>>215064118
His parents were killed and he is in a state of arrested development thinking you can still punish crime and solve it's issues by spanking it occasionally.

isnt that the swat teams being incompetent at fault?
>>
>>215064286

brutality through incompetence is arguably worse than brutality through malice. Either way brutality is brutality. Tell me how shooting a man answering his door is not brutal.
>>
>>215064370
its bad, but they're not beat-cops, thats not the main problem with policing in america, your potentially shifting the goalposts by bringing it up like that.
>>
>>215064451
Police brutality is police brutality you are trying to move goal posts by choosing the definition of police brutality. SWAT are police. They work out of a police department.

What an odd thing to say. First of all you’re a fag. Secondly would that not be police brutality? Or do you think Batman would support swat raping people like the idf?

the police in the new Batman run are corrupt and lead by Vandal Savage. One of them just shot Robin before this panel. yeah they written to be comically bad but it is a comic

What’s the topic at hand? Police brutality or your homosexual fantasies?

i dont care about police brutality, so long as its against criminals. It doesnt bother me at all, kneel on that neck boi.

Batman and Superman regularly deal with "random shoplifters". Crime is crime.

>>215061969
>Only I get to punish criminals with a beating.
At least cops are allowed to kill criminals occasionally.

You mean it didn't exist in the public consciousness. I doubt you're naive enough to think people didn't abuse their power back then.
>>
>>215064118
In the DCU crime is a literal religious metaphysical thing, it can’t be stopped that easily.

With how bad the consequences of unchecked, shoplifting can effect local residents and business owners, there'd be at least one superhero whose gimmick is that they catch thieves and then break every bone in both of their hands with a hammer.
