Did the Punisher actually say this in response?
>kill 2 killers
>net number of killers in the world goes down by 1
>continues going down for every killer killed
why doesn't batman just fricking do this??? fricking idiot
YOU...YOU....
DOUBLE KILLER
Because Batman being the nutjob he deep down is would start killing everything, the guy cant be trusted with killing.
>Batman is so powerful that he can't let himself kill anything, because it would be just like some adult man trying to kill a baby - completely one-sided and unfair, no matter the target, weapons, location, or the amount of preptime
Actually sounds like Batman writers
>Sidekick
He's a mentally deranged man that should be in Arkham Asylum, along with the rest of his kind.
Technically it's not wrong, not that it matters
>theres 2 killers
>kill both
>you are now a killer
>2-1 = 1
>there is only 1 killer, meaning total number of killers decreased by 1
technically, you are moronic
2 killers
That's not what he said, is it dum dum?
Women and low testosterone men are very bad at basic math.
That statements problem is when batman kills 3 killers, the number of killers shrinks!
>When/where did Batman say this?
He didn't. It's a fake quote
When did the no killing rule thing get popular with batman anyway?
SIlver Age, since it was just a more generalized rule with the comics code. It stuck with Batman even after those rules started to be lifted in the 80s and even as Batman got more darker in tone, I guess to lift the darker tone? And keep his rogues gallery?
>nd keep his rogues gallery?
I like how people whine and b***h about the no kill rule and then also Batman's rogue gallery is by far the strongest in comics. Even Spidey has a general no kill rule outside a few stories where he breaks that.
Basically my point is there's a reason the punisher has no good villains that aren't just meme ones because of racism.
Batman is Catholic. Killing is forbidden. Even if he's not religious, there's a cultural aspect that sticks.
This is a thing people often don't get batmans coded as a catholic
>driven by guilt
>constantly trying and failing to atone for sin he didn't commit
>Family is distinctly western european (english/scottish/italian) while being constant outsiders
mostly this
this
is basically nothing
adapted the silver age squeaky-clean no kill rule to something along the lines of the psychological trauma of muhh dead parents by the ascended fanboy writers of the 70s - 90s.
i think it works for some butthole that needs to still sell underwear, lunchboxes, and stickers to kids
I feel it only got really stupid after Dark Knight, where Joker made a big deal out of Batman not killing him. Ever since them hack writers have tried to make their own spin on the "Batman doesn't kill" thing, which feels like a joke by now.
Like, 3 years after he started,
Because the writers didn't want to make new bad guys all the time.
Iirc he stabs joker in the heart the first time they fought.
War is a thing.
>Kill a killer
>You are now a killer
>The number of killers in the world stays the same
>Kill another killer
>You can't become a killer again
>Number of killers goes down
>Kill another killer
>Number of killers goes down
>don't kill any killers
>the number of killers just goes up every day
this is why Gotham needs death penalty. even Metropolis has it, but that fricking 1% Bruce Wayne uses his money and influences to work the law on his favor.
Has Bruce Wayne used his money and influence against the death penalty?
>even Metropolis has it
Then how come they don't execute mass murderers like Parasite?
>execute parasite
Isn't it implied Lex keeps him and the others like him alive just to spite Superman ?
they executed some guy in a gas chamber, but he was a normal guy. supervillains are usually harder to kill and contain so they all end at the hands of lexcorp because the politicians are corrupt and work for Lex.
Marvel had a really bad story by a good writer where the Sandman's father was up for execution in NY State, for a murder he didn't commit.
Meanwhile, Sandman has committed multiple murders, and no talk of death penalty for him, not even in that story.

What is Batman's limitation to the no kill rule anyways? Like if Darkseid comes down and invades Earth is he like "I cant kill that Parademon what if it has a family!?"
To be fair is Batman's issue really "what if he has a family?" and more "I know after first blood I'll go off the deep end and become Hitler".
I feel like thats a more recent development in the past 15 - 20 years, this dumb thing of "If I kill I will literally become The Joker" I feel like in the 90s it was more "This criminal may have been thrusted into this shitty situation. He might have a family, a kid, and I know what its like to have your parents taken from you"
Basically the idea was supposed to be that Batman hated killing because his own parents were killed and be became heavily heavily scarred and scared of it as a result. So it was less
>I'll become hitler!
and more
>I can't handle taking a life or letting anyone die
What about psychos like the Joker going around fricking over other families Bruce?
Batman would just lock Darkseid in Arkham if he had a choice on the matter.
"Maybe Gargalax the Devourer of Souls just needs some mental health treatment. If I kill him, I'll be just as bad as him. Send him to Arkham!"
Killing a Parademon isn't any different then killing a bug.
That's war, killing is allowed in war. I was just reading the famous run of Animal Man and he feels no real regrets over killing a Thanagarian invader in combat.
I guess it doesn't apply to aliens that don't look like humans
Should mods just sticky one of these? Will we get any new replies since the last time we had this exact thread?
Its the bike cuck quote.
>bike cuck
Maddox?
Different bike cuck
Batman is terrible at math
See if there is 100 killers and you kill one, yeah SURE there is still 100 killers because you knocked off one and took it's place.
But than you keep killing them, taking the "statue fall" to thin those muderer numbers.
Before you know it, there is only one killer left
You dun fricked up Bruce
He's literally right though. If Bruce killed The Joker he would just become the new Joker
How? I never see an explanation for why someone would be just as bad as the villain they killed.
It happened in the Dark Multiverse, which created Batman Who Laughs.
Fans and apparently writers forget that Dark Multiverse is supposed to be the worst bad end possible and assume the same thing would happen if Batman killed the Joker in the mainline universe.
If you kill your enemies they win - batman
How?
Because they wanted suicide by cop.
They were trained wrong by the same people who trained Wimp Lo
>You truly are incorruptible, aren't you?
>You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness, and I won't kill you because you're just too much fun.
Based Nolan getting it right.
>Why can't the costumed vigilante just start blasting people?
u srs?
>killing a psychotic maniac who can't be contained and won't stop killing innocent people is the same as killing an innocent person
Lolno. Batman is responsible for everyone the Joker killed after their first encounter because he keeps sparing Joker, knowing that the Joker will just break out of Arkham next week and kill some more.
But we all know that Batman doesn't actually give a frick about innocent bystanders. The real reason Batman makes excuses to spare his enemies and to not actually try to fix Gotham beyond token measures is because he doesn't want to end his playtime. He wants to dress up in his onesie and play with his toys forever and ever and ever. Because that's all he really is: a spoiled, pampered brat who doesn't want to grow up.
I like that this statement implies Batman struggles with math. Makes a lot of sense too: I knew a lot of rich kids who bought their "A"s.
Now what if you kill two killers
Y'know what would be fun? If a teacher worked this statement into a test.
"How many killers does the Punisher need to kill for Batman's statement to no longer be true?"
An easy bonus question for eighth graders maybe.
definite killing and who it applies to
Batman only cares about humans. Through the entire run he didn't mind killing aliens, mutants, robot AI, vampires or anything not 100% human.
Not technically alive. Doesn't count.
That's why you need to kill killers in volume to make the cost benefit analysis work out to a net positive.
Why doesn't Batman just lobotomize Joker?
Because then he can't fight the Joker anymore. Any "why doesn't Batman doesn't do [thing that permanently gets rid of villain]" questions have the same answer: he doesn't want to. Batman doesn't want Gotham to get better, because then he can't play superhero anymore. He just wants to perpetuate his childish games forever. The real identity isn't Bruce Wayne, billionaire playboy, and it's not Batman, dark knight either. It's Baby Brucey, the spoiled manchild.
So, he's risking the lives of hundreds just to please his autism?
What the Hell is this?
>So, he's risking the lives of hundreds just to please his autism?
Exactly. And DC still expects us to see him as a hero.
>What the Hell is this?
What happens when you indulge a rich orphan's whims.
>Exactly. And DC still expects us to see him as a hero.
The Hero most nerds on the internet would want.
They always then to favor dark, brooding anti-heroes, who have "sad, dark backstories" and are never really happy.
Are those considered "badass" to them?
We'll probably never get something like the 1960's Batman TV Series, because that doesn't sell for DC, does it?
I fail to see where that correlates with Batman not killing Joker due to his autismo.
They'll let it slide, because it makes him unique and "awesome" that he still has a moral code.
Also, how many Joker fanfreaks would riot if he did?
>Because then he can't fight the Joker anymore. Any "why doesn't Batman doesn't do [thing that permanently gets rid of villain]" questions have the same answer:
If Batman finally "wins", then they can't keep making/selling exciting Batman comics, and/or keep their profits up! Exactly. Too many people keep getting wrapped up in comic-universe explanations for-
>he doesn't want to. [...] spoiled manchild.
welp. I took the bait
Most of these types of questions vary in answer depending on which comic you're referring to or what era of comics it happens in.
I think that Batman, as a vigilante, is already on a thin-line due to the way he operates. Like the dude breaks a bunch of laws such as trespassing, tampering with evidence, driving in high speeds with an unalthorized urban-assault vehicle and many more. Due to that, I think that him killing would be the straw that'd break the camel's back on the plausible deniability that GCPD has in which they allow him to operate.
Buuuuuuuuut... I do think that there's no way that criminals like Joker can stay alive after so long. I think this is shoddy writing and that, realistically, a random GCPD cop wouldn't think twice before putting a bullet in his head.
Stupid quotes thread?
The real question is, why isn't GOTHAM CITY putting these people to death. Like I get it. The system is corrupt. But when you create death and destruction on the scale that most villains do, at a certain point the law has almost no choice but to say "hey you gotta go"
>muh insanity plea
That's not a be all, end all of legal discourse.You don't get to murder people by the dozens and then go to an assylum cuz you plea insanity. Especially if it's been shown that you CAN escape and you WILL kill again. At a certain point it wouldn't even be Gotham's choice. I have a feeling eventually the Governor or the President would declair the removal of this person imperative to maintaining national security. You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you're gonna make batman villains genocidal psychopaths, we're gonna have to have more people than batman responsible for their death. It's the entire system's fault. It's just that batman isn't taking the law into his own hands to just murder people cuz that's not his job.
Joker made over a billion dollars as the box office. They ain't killing that homie off.
The first one was made in 2017. Copying the delirium created from a freshly discovered lifelong betrayal. I have no intention of reproducing that moment. I wonder what they'll do for the second one.
IMO, killing in defense of others doesn't make you a killer. That was a one-off. Serial killing makes you a killer, as in killing is what you DO. Like jerking off once doesn't make you a masturbator. Doing it repeatedly/routinely does.
Unless you were already a killer.
Why doesn't the police kill the Joker?
People forget that Batman operates outside the law, and that if he killed he would literally be another criminal and Gordon couldn't help him anymore.
Batmans logic isn't necessarily good. He'd probably be more then willing to admit the joker has killed so many because he hasn't killed him. Its his selfish burden to carry because he cannot bring himself to do it and feel as though he'd remain himself. That being said Batman is far less to blame then the institutions that keep labeling the joker "insane". Half of Batmans villains are murders who just have some theme or quirk. Poison Ivy for example is also far from mentally unstable. These people are more then fit to stand trial with a possible death sentence for their crimes. So blame the NY/Cali style lack of real punishment leftist shit show that must be in place in Gotham for the death penalty to never rear its head.
I mean the thing is that an insanity plea isn't just a "get out of death penalty free" card as media like to portray it.
Why doesn't the justice system just implement a death sentence for recurring super villains?
It's a fake quote from 9gag. Whoever made it must be proud of himself, that image really got around.
>When/where did Batman say this?
Never, but nobody here reads comics, or double checks anythings, so you create any fake quote attribute it to whomever and have hundreds of replies of people thinking is legit.
>don't kill the killer
>number of people killed by the killer continues to climb
If he's in jail he's only killing killers, so it's okay.
Why do I get the feeling that Batman never actually said that and it was some bullshit line some homosexual made up
