Is he wrong?

>>92216032
>His perfect scenario was Batman killing the Joker, and then turning himself in
>He kills the joker and doesn't turn himself in

What did he mean by this, /co/?

>>92216032
No. The Joker needs to die, a shame Batman never had the guts to do it himself. Batman behaves too much like a pussy, scared of doing something that will actually help his city, but no, he actually let him live. Maybe Batman is addicted to being Batman or it's a defense mechanism, but his work does NOTHING to improve Gotham.

Batman's the real villain of Injustice.

>>92216403
This. Only a total monster would be ok with a child killer like Harley.

>>92216032
NAARGH

>>92216032
There was nothing wrong with killing the joker, and in that situation it was understandable why Superman did it.

The problem was all the stuff that he did afterward.

>Constantine is the only one to come out of this ahead

That was the best

Yes, the fucker nuked a city Batman should've killed him when he could

>>92216555
Like when he saved the planet from all those parademons, or when he reversed all the ecological damage.

>>92216615
He also ate all of China when he was Emperor Joker. Batman sucks.

>>92216032
Yes, Batman is wrong for not killing the Joker himself years ago.

But deep down Bats knows if he kills, he won't stop because he's a psycho who needs to be locked in Arkham and proceed to break out and keep killing because Gotham a shit.

>>92216032
No, but what happened after is pretty out of character. Thanks to Wonder Woman.

>>92216032

The problem isn't Batman, it's the arbitrary status quo. Joker is a man with no powers, obvious identifiers, and no real intelligence beyond the average man. There should be no way for him to escape the way he does so often and no way for him to suddenly build up an entire criminal empire overnight.

Realistically Batman SHOULD be able to just drop off the Joker in jail and leave him there forever, or until the state executes him. Maybe have him break out once, twice is pushing it.

>>92216989
they know he wont do it so why didnt somebody like wonder woman do it first

Well, there's two perspectives to look at this from.

From the writer's perspective killing the Joker is meaningless because he's the iconic villain of Batman and will always, always come back. Killing him is just putting him in a box that requires a STUPIDER explanation for why he's back in a month than "he broke out again", and now not only does Arkham look incompetent, so does God/Satan. Killing a popular villain benches them for like half a year, tops. It's a meaningless shock-value attempt that will fail because it's been done so many times before.

In-universe, Batman has always been able to subdue the Joker and deliver him to the proper authorities, and it's their fault they never give him the death penalty and keep putting him back in a facility that either can't or won't adapt to his intelligence well enough to contain him. There is abundant grounds for the Joker to be tried as an enemy combatant and put to death at this point and a corrupt police department should really have done the job themselves with an "escape attempt" bullet in the head, but that goes back to the problem up above.

Then there's the whole thing that if Batman kills one villain he will never fucking stop in most scenarios and then Superman and the GCPD need to take BATMAN down and Gotham's right back where it started.

You. I like you.

If supes had kept his cool, joker would have been executed, and literally everyone would cheer.

if anything, batman fucked up by not being a good, sympathetic friend. he never said something along the lines of "Let's visit Ma & Pa Kent in Smallville, they'll want to see you." or "I know how you feel Clark, he's hurt my family too."

Nope, just goes on about his morals and "no killing".
tldr version: If batman wasn't a moralfag, supes and friends could've watched the Joker get lit up like a christmas tree and enjoy the ensuing peace.

>>92216071
That Lex was right

>>92216032
>Joker kills people
>Batman catches him and turns him in
>Joker basically gives him a look that says "see you in a week bats"
>Next week, he breaks out of Arkham again, killing who knows how many guards there
>Letting the Joker live is killing more people then leaving him alive is.
>Meanwhile, over in metropolis
>Superman catches Luthor again
>Luthor talks to the prison guard "hey, how are the wife and kids?"
>"they are great mister luthor! Really enjoyed that new swimming pool you gave them!"
>"Good, they will enjoy their new tv even better"
>Clearly showing he has been bribing prisons for years to always get out somehow.
>No telling how many people he has possibly killed.

Superman and Batman really have a thing for letting the worst criminals live the longest.

>>92217199
he's a borderline psychotic who runs around at night dressed as an animal beating the shit out of criminals in an attempt to get over the deaths of his parents?

Joker should have been killed long ago, so no

No, but the very nature of long running super hero comics requires any major death to be relegated to either a limited series, or a retcon. People should just accept it as a built in plot-hole.

It's the fault of gcpd. Any real world law enforcement agency would have executed him the second time he went on a rampage.

>>92218716
the other thing is that Batman is very conscientious of the impact his reputation has
he wants criminals to feel unsafe and civilians to feel safe at night
Once word gets out batman is a killer, there goes half his mission. Nobody will feel safe with safe with him around, and people who've been caught up in even a minor crime will act out of desperation because they believe their life is on the line. your average person's respect for the law pretty much evaporates when it becomes a matter of keeping themselves and their loved ones alive.

Right and wrong
Good and evil
lol pr0n
dude is kill
Shiiiiiiiiiet daaaaaaaaawg...

>>92216071
never noticed that
a very interesting point

>>92216071
It is a comment on his hypocrisy. Superman knows that what he did was wrong, but he still wants the end result. Because of that he does not want to take responsibility for his actions, despite knowing they're evil. In his dream scenario, Joker dies and Batman takes responsibility for it, because despite all his failings, at the end of the day, Batman will take responsiblity for his actions.

As for this >>92216313, the reason Batman never kills Joker is because, Batman only wishes to aid the police, he never wishes to suplant them. Killing Joker is morally wrong to Bruce because it would be the begining to becoming an existance similar to Ra's. Someone who holds himself to no other authority but his own, which can always change. Which is precisely what happens to Superman in Injustice.

>>92216032
He nuked a city and is responsible for a would-be father killing his own child. No, he wasn't wrong for dealing with the Joker. I love Batman to death, but Superman had the right mindset,
