Batman is a violent psychopath. He’s shot villains in their sleep and starved someone to death. The idea that he doesn’t kill his opponents is a fairy tale cooked up by Cold War–era pitchfork wielders. In 1954, the Comics Code Authority was formed to censor depictions of sex, gore, and violence in comic books. While horror titles like Tales From the Crypt and The Vault of Horror bore the brunt of censorship, Gotham City fell under the chilly hand of the CCA as well.
In a world where monsters attack at night, we see yet another world, post-apocalypse, where a handful of people struggle to survive.
Crime Scene Berlin-Nightlife Killer Review: This documentary series really drops the ball with its storytelling.
In a movie that largely sidesteps what the war is about, “Civil War” puts us in the point of view of journalists who make it clear there are no heroes in war, just dead bodies.
Of course he is. As someone who watched their parents die in the gutter, Bruce grew up with more than just anger issues as a billionaire with money burning a hole in his soul. And with Jason Todd's death and events like The Killing Joke, there's undoubtedly a point where Batman would be driven to kill just like he did in The Dark Knight Returns.
He wouldn't ever pick up a gun, though. And that's not just because of some reverence for the weapon that killed his parents, but because they're clumsy and imprecise. Stray bullets can kill innocents and at least Frank Miller understood early in his career that a grizzled, veteran Batman wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone who deserved it, but he'd only wield a weapon he could control: his own two hands. I swear, Zack Snyder barely reads any of the source material he adapts and allegedly loves.
