Adding on, Batman killing and harming is against the nature of his creation. Him being violent and cruel just makes him a DC Punisher. It’s an issue he’s faces before in the comics, after Jason Todd died and we see that people are concerned, and try to stop him when he does the things we see him do in gritty film bro batman movies. And even with Jim Gordon and his “one good cop” narrative we see that he can’t be the one good cop, like with James Gordon Jr and when he is hypnotized. He will never and should never be a violent force if nature “to do what the cops can’t” he is a protector and gives people every chance he can, even putting money and having canon foundations to help the poor and struggling in Gotham. Leaving his business cards for thugs and goons, giving kids scholarships, getting them off drugs and giving them places to go, getting them to Leslie and her clinic for care. He comforts kids in danger, never wanting them to feel like he felt the night his parents died.
Please read the whole thing.
Now I will argue that Batman’s motivations (protecting the innocent), level of preparedness, and the fact that he doesn’t kill people, put him miles above the current uniformed fascists charged with maintaining the status quo and protecting property. That being said I think this would be an innovative take on the Batman mythos, and have social commentary guaranteed to piss the wrong people (by which I mean the right people) right off. Personally I’d watch the shit out of that. 😉
The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.
Long live Woke in its lovely new nebulous form which seems to take the shape of whatever scares the right winger observing it at the time.
In honor of Pedro’s newest (and perhaps greatest) role as Tim Rockford from the Merge Mansion mobile game. What a time to be alive.
