Batman's statement is 100% correct.Making it incorrect requires changing the parameters of the statement.
Batman's no-killing rule is the dumbest shit ever conceived and comic book fans only prove their artistic paucity by swearing it's rational and important to the character. Notice that most filmmakers who adapt Batman don't give a fuck about it
>>217458518I remember there was a JLA comic where Gorilla Grodd and his other human intelligent apes were taking over shit and Batman threatened to kill him, saying his no kill rule only applied to people. So apparently if you're not a human, it doesn't matter your intelligence, Batman is a slaughterhouse.
>>217458487LOL
but if i kill multiple killers i begin reducing the number of killers. basic fucking math you comic book faggots
So uncivilized.
>>217458518It's fine as long as the writers aren't putting him up against mass murderers.
>>217458595This is easily countered by saying "presence of" instead of "number of".
>>217458589Snipers are batmans kryptonite and the only prep time counter measure is plot armor and stormtrooper aim.
He has an inhuman drive (bordering on sadism) to punish crime after the trauma of his parents’ murder. He has to reign in his instinct to kill almost like it is a paraphilia. He thinks if he does it once he will never be able to stop. It isn’t because he thinks killing is always wrong.
>>217458720That's corny and contrived>if I prevent Joker from gassing this kindergarten class by killing him...i'll start gassing kids too
>>217458487
>>217458666why the fuck would you buy them presents
>>217458658A shame Batman's most popular antagonist's are just that and often worse.
>>217458786This is an agreement, not a rebuttal.
>>217458720get it over with.
>>217458763But Batman always saves the kindergarten class and just hands the Joker to proper authorities
>>217458786Punisher can never get to zero killers. He would have to kill himself afterwards.
>>217458952Yes. The logical endpoint.Evil is ultimately self-destructive.
Batman kills in early comics. It was later changed to make it easier to sell to kids.
>>217458518Daredevil not wanting to kill because he's a very religious Catholic is a lot more compelling than Batman not wanting to kill because killing people is mean
>Batman lives in a fantasy world where there is magic and aliens and shit>Rehabilitating criminals is too unrealistic
>>217458952Punisher also goes after non-killer bad guys. He'd still have gangsters, pedos, traffickers, drug lords, cartel, gangs, arms dealers, corrupt officials, etc.Killing people isn't the only evil his targets are guilty of.
>>217458718>and the only prep time counter measure is plot armor and stormtrooper aim.Incorrect. It's the bullseye Batman costume.
>>217458886Anon, I don't think you know how to count. It also sounds like you don't know what a repeat offender is, or what high rates of recidivism means.
batboy is a fag
>>217458518t. has never killed a single person
>>217458487Batman never said that.
Why exactly should he be killing his enemies when he always saves the day without killing his enemies?
>>217459165
>>217458487This is a relic of a time where people were careful not to corrupt the youth and give them bad ideas. Nowadays gang culture is "in" and there's a difference set of morals or lack thereof.
>>217458487Killing does not a good character make. Deadpool is a good example >>217459233
>>217459139No, Punisher is just forced into disputing literally what is basically a poetic pun.
>>217458487No, his statement is wrong.>5 people, 4 of them are killers>1 never killed anyone>He kills one of killers>4 people, 4 of them are killers (This is where his statement works indeed)>1 of them kills another one>3 killers >one od these 3 killers kills another one >2 killersHis statement works only on the first inatance, after that it's always 1 less killer.
>>217459320Batman is making a distinction between "You" and "a killer".Otherwise Batman would say "If a killer kills a killer" and would be nonsense.
>>217459446If 'you' kill a killer 'you' are a killer anyway and from now on the more killers you kill the less remains
>>217459117I read that and wonder how many Boomerchildren wrote letters asking >WHAT IF So they sarcastically answered them with the bat shoot me suit.
>>217459502Until you are the last killer and must commit suicide.I can make non-sequiturs too.
>>217458589wouldn't work, Batman sees bullets in slow mo
>>217459019The thing is even Daredevil has killed on occasion. I think the only reason Daredevil is Catholic at all is deliberately to shit on him and the religion.
>>217458487the last person that killed becomes the main killer.thus a killer of a killer is still a killer that must be killed by another killer who will inherit the kill.Cain created a never ending cycle of murder justification that we've been morally and ontologically dealing with (else you just become another Cain if you sacrifice/slaughter Cain).
There used to be a time where you could imagine justice without murder or torture
>>217459604or because it fits his aesthetic and even the name in an ironic way
>>217458487>If you kill your enemies, they win.
>>217459587Batman's real power is convincing everyone he's just a normal human guy named Bruce Wayne with no reality warping powers that allows him to pal around with gods who fear him.
>>217458952If he somehow got into the point when no one had to be killed anymore? Yeah, he would blow his own brains out.
>>217459637No there didn't. Rightoids have been advocating for the death sentence since times prehistoric.
>>217459653>he's just a normal human guyThat's what makes him a better hero than the ones with superpowers.
>>217459678is it really right wing to think joker should have been lynched in broad daylight with the gotham PD clapping and laughing in the background?
>>217459665
>>217459724>Is mob justice right wing?Probably.Batman's no-kill mantra is really more about himself than any other factor. He knows that killing will make him no better than the man who killed his parents, which is what the quote in the OP is actually about. Or at least, that's what he's thinking about when he says it.
>>217459320>5 people, 4 of them are killers>1 never killed anyone>He kills one of killers>4 people, 4 of them are killers (This is where his statement works indeed)>1 of them kills another one>3 killers>remaining killers realise their decreasing population>they have killer sex and make a killer baby>3 killers and a baby killerWhat now? Batman is always five steps ahead, remember that.
>>217459019Batman should kill when appropriate and the only reason he doesn’t often is because he’ll cross Gordon’s red line and the government will have to go after him. That makes much more sense than the bullshit morality these comic writers invent
>>217459699Precisely.And Batman is smart enough to know this so he's a god that goes out of his way to convince everyone he's just the most impressive human around: a hero among heroes; a god among gods.(or maybe humans can be more impressive than the superpowered gods realize)
>>217458487All humans are killers under controlled circumstances, the idea is to reduce victims, not to reduce killers. Batman is a moron and he always was. How many of his protege went on to become killers?
why didnt batman just simply rape the joker? talk about utter defeat
>>217460174I don't think that would bother the Joker honestly
