I have no idea what Zdarsky wrote, but modern bat writers would have Bruce having a panic attack over using a gun and have a whole storyarc. Before the 80's, Batman just saw guns as tools he wasn't fond of using. Now it's like >A GUN >IS THAT..A GUN >LIKE THE ONE THAT KILLED MY PARENTS >KILLED..BY GUNS!
If a villian was smart they would have their coke dealership in a gun store so as to cause any tricky bat to have a ptsd episode if it tried to sneak in.
I think Dennis O'Neil, in an Early League of Assassins story.
No gimmick to this where he's tricked into using a gun, he just has to kill dolphins with bombs strapped to them before they reach the boat he's on
I like to think he keeps one hidden as his ultimate bat weapon, he spend years fighting crimes without using a single gun then when you least expect him bam
Batman should go back to being a super-scientist vampire hunter. My favorite iteration of the character is the ultimate rational humanist battling a world of surrealist horrors.
I'm tired of this "Hell's Kitchen Batman" street level shit
But that would mean hack writers would have to create new villains.
Superheroes should kill but only sometimes and supervillains shouldn't randomly kill people unless they could get away with it.
Did Zdarsky write this?
No, he wrote the issues where Jason gives up guns.

Bob Haney is my best guess.

B-but if batman uses gun that make him just as bad as mass murdering terrorist that has no redeeming qualities
Yes, but only if afterwards, he permanently retires or dies

The problem with comics is that the characters act like bots written by bot writers. There are no good comics. They don't exist and never did.
Low IQ take: Batman should use guns
Mid IQ take: Batman shouldn't kill
High IQ take: Batman should kill using anything but guns
Is that a FAMAS?
What?
iswydt
That would be too easy.
Like how easy, Senator Armstrong?
