I thought Batman doesn’t kill or use guns
I thought Batman doesn’t kill or use guns

Easton James
>Heh he used guns once 70 years ago so that completely negates the fact that it's been a core part of his character for fifty+ years
Jose Robinson
Generally he doesn't. In his early stories he did. Later when his character was more fleshed out he was portrayed with a strong aversion to it. Occasionally a writer will make him kill or use a gun, to try to shake things up, or shock people, but generally in most portrayals his no-kill rule has been a strong part of his character.
Technically vampires are undead anyway, though.
Henry Campbell
OP is probably that same Snyder shill who tried to defend MOS by pointing to that origin page from Superman #1, while pretending not to understand how context works.
Charles Russell
Lucas Diaz
Yes, user. The movies should be faithful to Batman Odyssey.
Easton Butler
Wtf? Why didn't anyone tell me being a nazi was a core part of Cap's personality as seen in this one panel which most likely reflects the character's entire history I assume.
Juan Cook
They really should
Brandon Allen
Did you know that being a werewolf is a core part of Captain American's lore and the bases of his entire character?
Jordan Garcia
What I want to see is Batman, or maybe more appropriately Green Arrow, use a gun non-offensively.
Like they have to shoot something down and an arrow or a batarang isn't fast enough so he picks up the rifle of a goon he knocked out.
Jack Cruz
Batman uses lethal force all the time. Just beating people up like Batman doesi is likely to kill them.
Fans want to enjoy violence but they don't want to admit that violence is bad. This is why the 'no-kill rule' is just psychotic.
Jordan Davis
Austin Clark
The character has changed since 1939.
Aiden Rodriguez
Even modern Batman kind of has an exception for vampires.
Isaac Morales
You know Batman would just throw the gun instead of firing it. And somehow it would actually work.
Carter Diaz
Obviously OP doesn't understand that a cinematic take on a character has to be 100% accurate to their current comic selves and not deviate in anyway. Who cares if his creators wrote him like that? Who cares if Burton's Batman also killed villains?
Christopher Gonzalez
>IM GONNA MAKE NEW ZEALAND LOOK LIKE A FUCKING JOKE
Jesus, did Batman really have to go there?
Luke Gomez
Why did hey ever pussify the Bat?
Noah Lopez
To appeal to kids.
Dominic Nguyen
WHY DON’T THEY EVER SHOW WONDER WOMAN WORKING AT FUCKING TACO BELL?? IT’S IMPORTANT TO HER CHARACTER
Nathan Ross
It kinda is, though? Showing holding a normal job or enjoying sweets is very humanizing.
Adam Foster
WHY DON'T THEY HAVE BATMAN MILKING COWS? IT'S A CORE PART OF HIS CHARACTER!
Easton Clark
I never got why people didn't like this. It totally made Diana more down to earth.
>not knowing about the Batcow
Stupid casual
James Evans
>when artists knew how to draw guns
Owen Stewart
Are you kidding, this back when he was Batman wasn’t anything but a Shadow rip off.
Alexander Martinez
>dose collarbones
Angel Campbell
You are alright, lad.
Tyler Thomas
He killed people other times during the golden age
Cameron Thomas
Nice try, casual, but that's not Steve. It's Sam.
Levi Martin
>>I need silver bullets. This handy statue and this fucking candle will do.
Easton Ward
There was a time artists were willing to look stuff up. The fact that they don't now is why Rocket almost never looks like an actual raccoon, to name just one example.
Nolan Turner
But it's easier than ever!
Jaxson Morris
It's sad.
Jayden Watson
But Rocket is NOT a raccoon!
As he keeps reminding everyone.
He's a freaken' alien.
Charles Diaz
He won't shoot humans.
Vampires are fair game.
So are Nazis.
I read that "80 years of Batman" the other day. He buys the gun which killed his parents and melts it into his chest-shield.
But, at another time, he dropped that same gun into acid and dissolved it.
"Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" -- Emerson
Brayden Watson
He looks more like a Red Panda in some of those.
Luke Gray
Guns are lousy weapons in the Bat-verse.
Not accurate beyond 6 inches.
Zachary Rodriguez
Cringe. He was established as a raccoon ten years ago.
Ryan Allen
>He buys the gun which killed his parents and melts it into his chest-shield.
That wasn't in 80 years, it was a Kevin Smith story from Detective #1000. That story wasn't inconsistent, it just was non canon. The real story of the gun is in Batman: Year Two.
Colton Moore
>includes the drainage pipe and condenser
old timey comics a/k/urate again!

Robert Nguyen
Vampires aren't people. Undead monstrosities should be exceptions to any sane person's morality about killing.
Eli Jenkins
>Earth-2 Batman went through a brief phase where he killed people before he met Robin
Literally by Batman #1 he's telling the audience that guns are for pussies. You're looking at roughly a year of Bat stories before that and nothing more.
Jaxson Jackson
>Batman uses lethal force all the time. Just beating people up like Batman doesi is likely to kill them.
In real life it might. Fictional world, fictional rules. And anyway he's not trying to kill them.
Cooper Wood
Self defense and the actual killer is the guy doing the shooting. It's not morally equivalent to Batman choosing to shoot someone.
Samuel Garcia
That's a fucking vampire. It's not killing a person.
Kevin Nelson
DC Streaming Services is will one day adapt the Adams' Odyssey series.
Benjamin Myers
It happened to Steve too.
Aiden Perry
>You don't understand I only need the arrested development and ridiculous shtick, the thing that actually makes you efficient is unnecessary
Jace Nelson
How many times are we really going to have this argument
Lucas Carter
I'd watch a Batman Odyssey movie.
It could make henways relevant again.
Oliver Smith
>batboy and Rubin
Loved that BaTB episode.
Justin Collins
What’s batman stance on aliens? Humans are pretty much a no no but final crisis and whatnot makes me think he wouldn’t give a shit about using a gun/blaster on the green menace
Caleb Hernandez
Depends. I think I remember a crossover story where Batman and Superman were fighting Aliens and/or Predators. Superman still had a strict no-kill policy while I think Batman was a little more flexible about it.
Gabriel Harris
No, I know but the same thing happened to Steve as well.
I just think that picture is cute.
>during the golden age
There's the issue, user.
Levi Gutierrez
Isn't that Japanese Batman?
Evan Parker
>Dylan Burnett
You had ONE JOB
Jackson Murphy
In the very early days he actually was literally a ripoff of the Shadow by Bill Finger's own admission. After his success Finger wanted to develop him into a different type of character and dropped the guns.
A lot of the early instances of Batman killing people were actually added by artists without Finger's input.
Jordan Bennett
Right. I read both comics the same day.
Eli Long
>the thing that actually makes you efficient is unnecessary
Which is?
Jeremiah Powell
nope.
Joshua Parker
Batman was inspired by Zorro, even BvS has Zorro in the opening segment
Justin Sanchez
Year Two's been thrown out of canon, put back in, thrown out, no idea what it's current status is.
Gavin Scott
It will never ever ever ever ever end, user
David Richardson
Kevin Smith
If for some reason it has a bayonet, I'll accept it.
Imagine Batman tossing a Mosin Nagant like a javelin.
Chase Martin
That's because a lot of the artists were veterans that used those guns.
Luis Myers
Nu52 Batman wouldn't kill vampires. He made a real nuisance of himself when he showed up in I, Vampire.
Juan Powell
bump
Josiah Thompson
Smoking assholes with a fine oiled revolver
Oliver Reed
James White
undead are not people
Gabriel James
Batman and Kazuma Kiryu should team up, going around not killing people
Camden Edwards
>hay guise
>guess what MIND BLOWING PIECE OF TRIVIA my favorite youtuber just told me?!
Cooper Cooper
Reminds me of that live action Shazam serial, he used a machine gun to kill a bunch of tribals
Anthony Young
Only during his first year of publication. It changed when Robin was introduced. Through most of the golden age, Batman was campy, not grim.
Carson Sanders
To kill an undead monster.
Dylan Watson
It’s a good arc that humbles Diana by helping a poor single mother who works there
Jayden Edwards
The BATMAN digs this day!
Samuel Harris
I think it sells him rather short to imply that the thing that makes The Shadow effective is that he kills people
