no, it goes down some number of 99, because some of those deaths will be avenged or create other killers?

But if you are already a killer?

I mean... it's a pretty lame reason, considering if the killer has killed more than one person, then your kill count is less than theirs.

But if he keeps killing, killers, wouldn't that mean there is now less of them?

If you were already a killer . . . batman is stupid . . . no wonder he needs so much money.

No, after the death of the first the amount of living killers is altered

Not if you have already killed someone before entering the room.

Seen this quote a lot and I was thinking. Perhaps he also means the whole cycle of vengeance that sometimes sprouts. If Batman kills

your dad, perhaps you grow up to be the next villain to kill people and then the cycle continues.

The first statement is only true if you havn't killed anyone previously.

The thing is that if he starts killing there is no way of knowing what it will trigger, he could become like the joker where he just (1/2)

Goes and kills for fun because deep down Batman is not actually a good person and rather enjoys putting the hurt on crooks (2/2)

#1 Yeah, but if you kill a serial killer, his kill count will forever stop incrementing. You are not morally absolved by adopting a (1)

easy absolute because it makes you not have to think about the consequences of your lack of moral resolve.

If Batman had killed the Joker early on, there'd probably be 500 less dead people.

Also, by each killer killed, the number of potential victims diminish °3°

If you repost a repost, the amount of oc remains the same.

#1 not true if you have already killed before. But if you don't kill a killer the number remains the same either way.

I agree if you kill x number of killers then it would be simple. No of killers=killers killed -1

They're making a third one called Batmetal Forever. It's pretty exciting.

As a guy that doesnt read Batman, how? Is he not just a human with money?

Which is why Batman knows better than to actually say that, which is why he's never said that.

Pete Holmes' batman skits crack me up. He's tuckered out, taking a nap (paraphrased).

I got hooked on one of his stand-up specials. Didn't realize he was that Batman until weeks later.

But doesn't the soul become even more tainted? Killing will become another addiction

Wow, that's even sillier than the "slippery slope" nonsense.

Kill 99 people and tell me you wouldn't feel different about yourself.

Depends on the people.

Probably a bit tired. That's a lot of work.

But he has killed before...

Which means the number of killer would decrease by one.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yeah, Batman has been around since 1939. He originally killed and even used as gun. So is the *original* character the most canon?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That Batman (from Earth-2) died back in the 80's and then his entire universe was destroyed in Crisis on Infinite Earths storyline.

Are you talking movies or comics. Because unless it's the current canon comics, I don't see it as the real Bruce Wayne/Batman

The current canon is shit. SHIIIIIIIT.

Tho even if Bats wouldn't kill Joker...SOMEONE ELSE WOULD. Joker has killed a lot of people, eventually someone will kill him for revenge.

Someone did once, his name was Magog, and it fucked everything up, but still gave us the 2nd greatest graphic novel of all time.

Someone SHOULD have killed him out of vengeance long ago.

Then you'd get Kingdom Come and that just turned out fine and dandy for all involved.

Someone should kill him out of NECESSITY; he's far too fucking dangerous to leave alive, he's utterly irredeemable.

The dude can fight Batman in hand to hand and hold the Justice League at bay. Good luck with that.

He's surely not bulletproof though.

I'm sure there's a bunch of D-listers who'd take some cash to go after Joker. There should be a Whack The Joker kickstarter.
