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
>>217458564That's actually pretty kewl
>>217458487You guys know this quote is fake right?
>allowing a degenerate freak to continue living and torturing and killing and terrorizing people is le good because... at least I'm not a killer!Quasi-leftist "logic".
>>217458487>if I take a shit, the number of people shitting in the world increases by 1
>If you swoop down from 40 feet and hit a man in the head with a flying knee no harm no foul
>>217460491>It's okay if he's brain damaged and retarded and paralyzed from the neck down, as long as I didn't kill him!
You really think I'm going to believe someone that brutalizes people as savagely as Batman doesn't have a body count? Get real Batman
>>217458487A Batman with access to a motherbox and a phantom zone projector shouldn't have the problem of Arkham Asylum being a revolving door hotel.Catch them and dump them in another realm and be done with it. They aren't killed and they aren't an issue anymore. Clean conscience, problem solved.
>there are 10 killers>i kill all 10>now there is just 1 killeris batman retarded? that's even ignoring that there is a difference between>somebody who kills innocent people>somebody who kills people who kill innocent people
>>217460221Why doesn't Batman simply rape Harley?
>>217459653Even Zeus glazed him
>>217459320>>217459446>>217459502Wait, you's on first?
>>217460091Hard to commit murders when you're permanently crippled beyond belief.
>>217458487It's only correct if you only kill one killer. If you kill two killers, there's now a net loss of 1 killer in the world. And so on for every killer you kill after that. What batman is actually saying is that you need to keep killing killers, you can't stop at just 1. Very inspiring stuff.
>>217460714No, You's on the flight plan
>>217460730Arkham Knight is especially funny. He runs down crowds of people with a fucking tank and electrocutes them with God-knows how many volts and they're all fine, just unconscious
>>217458518It's the only semi-plausible way to have a recurring villain
>>217460940>>217460730If those games had any balls they'd let you actually kill people and score you at the end for actually beating the game without killing anyone.
>>217458487What if the killer killed in self-defense?
Why are criminals afraid of Batman? All he does is arrest you and take you to the police, also even if you shoot him he won't press charges so it's more reasonable to try to kill him than surrender yet all of the criminals always surrender. Hell I'd you find out who he is he can't even kill you, you can probably even sue him and become rich.
If Batman shows up can't you just surrender? Then he's got no reason to hurt you.
>>217460961I get that, but Batman fans insist that there's some deep moral reason for it and not just a practical way to keep the villains around for further use.
