superheros as a concept are inherently cool dudes . No matter what views the characters or authors claim to espouse, they're still using physical might to stamp out crime as it occurs instead of attempting to prevent it through social means like a pussy .

This is truth.
Stomp on evil's face.

they only treat the symptoms of crime, not the causes. they're just super powered cops and cops are worthless.
Eli Anderson
I remember this Batman elseworlds where he fights a child sex ring and it described what Batman and other heroes do best
"Batman fights criminals not crime"
Kayden Harris
This year of the villains shit is so retarded. Stop fucking having your villains call themselves villains. Everyone except Grant Morrison and maybe Hickman working for the big two right now needs to be sent to a community college creative writing 101 course ASAP.

>crime is all because of poverty and oppression
Of all the lies people convince themselves, this is one of the most insidious. Millions of people live in poverty or under oppression and don't steal, rape or kill because they know it's wrong. Most criminals are criminals because they're assholes with no impulse control and no regard for anyone but themselves, not because they're deprived. We really don't know how much is nature, how much is nurture, but some people are just assholes, and will continue to be assholes and commit crimes and do whatever they think they can get away with, no matter how much society tries to do for them. Their fictional equivalent have earned that beating from Batman a hundred times over.

Didn't Batman literally create the Joker (who was just a normal guy before the accident)?
While we're on that subject. Why is the Joker kept alive in a mental asylum if he has been shown to be completely in charge of his mental faculties?

We can't take the joker for his word because he is an unreliable narrator.
Carson Barnes

Maybe
Or maybe he didn't
Colton Peterson

The Joker's origin is literally a multiple choice question. In the versions where he was the Red Hood, his skin condition is due to Batman, but his mental state before then varies between versions.
>While we're on that subject. Why is the Joker kept alive in a mental asylum if he has been shown to be completely in charge of his mental faculties?
Mental illness and asylums in superhero comics don't work the same as in the real world. Villains who are fully in control of their actions but are 'crazy' get sent to asylums because it's just an undying genre trope at this point, particularly in Batman comics where the asylum is an important location in the setting.
Nicholas Adams
The only part of his story that's really in dispute is the Red Hood and tragic family stuff but unless I'm mistaken most popular versions have Batman actually seeing the man fall into a vat of chemicals due to his actions.
>Mental illness and asylums in superhero comics don't work the same as in the real world.
Don't get me wrong. I understand the real-world reasons are because of money and merchandising, but even by the standards presented in-universe it doesn't seem consistent that a terrorist with multiple homicides (and maybe a few rapes), who can't be securely contained, and who's doctors can't "cure" (or in the case of Quinzel can't resist indoctrination) be allowed to live on Gotham's state tax dollars.
At least with Luthor it's easier to find some political reason for him to get away with a lot of what he does but with Joker it seems nothing is plausibly given other than “Batman needs a Joker.”

Does Gotham's state have the death penalty? Is there a canon answer to which state Gotham is in?

There are plenty of stories were they try to get to the root of the problem you fucking dumbo. The theme of these arcs is usually that they're just one person and can't take on such big societal problems on their own.
Nathan Sullivan
Both Marvel and DC have a lot of "blue collar" supervillains who exist as a sort of subculture and identify themselves as villains, the same way IRL crime families would identify themselves as criminals, and take a similar kind of pride in it. It's only "retarded" when a villain who believes he's right, and in his own mind sees himself as the hero, starts calling himself a villain.
Ryan Ward
Most versions have it in New Jersey but I think one or two depictions have it as it's own “Gotham” state.
Caleb Gutierrez
The theme of the arc is that big comics need to maintain status quo so having Batman kill all the rogues in Gotham overnight makes him evil and Superman lazoring Ghaddafi in the face turns him insane, and that becomes an elseworlds story.
