I might say yesDid they ever do a comic where Bruce became a member before he became Batman?
>>220531736why would I say yes to being a ninja assassin taking orders from liam neeson when i could say no, still have all the skills of a ninja assassin, and then go use my billions of dollars to snort cocaine and fuck hookers
>>220531768>and then go use my billions of dollars to snort cocaine and fuck hookerstheres the chance you wouldnt make it out alivethe movie escape is plot armor
>>220531736>Do you say no?I say yes. Fuck that murdering thief, he deserved to die. Bruce blowing up the League of Shadows and presumably recklessly killing dozens of his comrades to (fail to) save one felonious peasant is a stupid moral line to uphold.I can't speak to the League of Shadows as a whole, because some of its members seem like crude thugs and mercenaries rather than enlightened revolutionaries. But Ra's al Ghul as he's presented here is unfathomably based.>The Industrial Revolution and its Consequences Have Been a Disaster for the Human Race
>>220531936now that I think about it, he mentions influencing Rome to fall, burning London, and sending Black Plague rats. The League, in its aims towards "balance", seems anti-Civilization not just anti-Industrial Society. In that case:>The AGRICULTURAL Revolution and its Consequences Have Been a Disaster for the Human Race
>Liam Neeson is already a villain with a clear motivation>gives some "and furthermore..." speech about how he's secretly a bad guy and how Bruce's parents were good guyswat
>>220532029>why would a terrorist utilize psychological games against a former protege-turned-adversary?>why would the writer tie the antagonist's villainy to the protagonist's main source of trauma?
>>220532069so did Batman train with the former-Gotham-ruiner by coincidence, or was he lured there, or what?in the comics and cartoons he's just some crazy antinatalist/ecoterrorist dude. if the films want to make it more personal, fine, but by the time he gives that speech he already has an cause-and-effect reason to be there. it's like if Scarecrow was already working with him then said "Joe Chill was my dad btw" at the very end.
