Batman: I can't kill the joker for a toxin in his heart because it could bring worse.
me: just kill him from a distance

glad they at least fixed that scene in the movie
>but batman dodges a bullet
bullshit but I'll take it

Funny thing is that I know anime heroes who'd break their no kill code for true monsters that are not unlike the Joker, and no one would fault them for it. If anything, Batman's neuroticism is losing more fans these days.

This. Killing villains like the Joker at this point wouldn't be condoning murder, but it'd be a public service not unlike putting down a rabid dog.

I don't think that'd even fly in universe. Putting aside narrative causality (if I'm using the term right) where the heroes can usually find a way, said finding a way usually means they don't have
>A reason for the situation to resolve only with murder
>A plausible self-defense plea
The only way to write around that would be one of the two conditions being true. And people would end up bitching and moaning if superhero stories started condoning vigilante murder en masse, since superheroes would be fascists. At least they'd call them that.
That would happen here too

>if superhero stories started condoning vigilante murder en masse, since superheroes would be fascists.
With Antifa and BLM being normalized by hollywood superheroes like Batman that don't kill are getting outdated.

Murder is if the victim wasn't doing anything wrong that merits killing. And this IS the Joker we're talking about.

Or burn the body in a way the toxin would be destroyed. Or just trap Joker in a sealed room. Lot of ways to kill the bastard without inhaling the gas.

Batman dodges bullets all the fucking time, it's only weird because an actual named character is shooting and we've trained ourselves to think they're the only ones who know what aiming is.

>If anything, Batman's neuroticism is losing more fans these days.
As evidenced by how much people loved his portrayal as a guy willing to kill in BVS than the totally not way more successful The Dark Knight.

People like a hero who sticks to their guns even if its not using guns, no matter what "Its subversion!" writers will tell you.

>Murder is if the victim wasn't doing anything wrong that merits killing
Arguably, many things merit klling. That's not the question necessarily. The question's the options for resolution, which I have to repeat now. Killing someone who deserves it if they can be fairly easily incapacitated instead even if they're a piece of shit is called excessive force

This is quite literally what made me give up on comic books for good.

We're not talking about "Clown Prince of Crime" Joker. That Joker's a piece of shit, but can be dealt with without necessarily killing. "Joker who peels his face off while wearing a mask", who commits mass murder, or even Batman Beyond Joker? That's a Joker that has crossed the line way too many times.

That shit was tame compared to the usual mind fuckery Supes lays down.

>is called excessive force
user, that's the best kind of force.

like?

The "Peeled off his face" Joker was thought to be dead for several REAL LIFE years and in-universe "We see this guy's face literally nailed to a wall after someone said they wanted to kill him and DNA tests prove its his face" is a pretty convincing way to make everyone think you're dead. When he came back in the first major storyline Batman did try to kill him, the Joker only got away because he threw himself off a cliff and Batman couldn't follow him.

By the time of Batman Beyond joker had been sent to Arkham over 2 dozen times, at some point you really can't put ANY fault on Batman. Why's he got to shoot the Joker himself?

For sure, but it should be the state's job to do that. In universe, they're crippled by Joker being declared insane. If Batman kills someone who for all intents has been ruled legally insane, he'd be a target for law enforcement.
Batman has more built-in outs for not killing than a lot of capes, honestly. Even in UTRH, it's true that letting Joker die would have been better for the world.
Joker was also injured, being held at gunpoint and not fighting back.

You're ansolutely right. We don't want Batman to be the one who kills Joker. But shit like this?

Or him basically turning on Superman for killing the Joker in Injustice which indirectly caused Superman to turn fascist in the first place? That's another thing entirely.

Or heck. How about Batman proyecting the Joker from the Punisher? That was retarded.

And that's a good thing.

Not that user but man, consumers really do cycle round to trends every other generation. I look forward to the 2nd failure of trying to push murder onto the majority of capes

This movie's message is so ham fisted, like yeah let atomic skull live and kill lots of innocents.

What is this? Supes gone mad now?
Sike, it was just a prank bro. He was right all along! (no he wasn't)

I’m just saying, if he could de power the Elite, why can’t he depower the Atomic Skull?

Didn't he only depower black?

> As for your people, they’re fine. Nursing headaches I don't even wanna think about. But very much alive as they're stripped of their powers and prepped for transport to a supermax prison.

Question: If the state ordered the death sentence to a Supes or Bats villain would the hero comply?

Again, unless I'm mistaken (and I might be) weren't their powers granted to them by some kind of tumor or something in their heads?
