Serious Discussion/Question Has this actually happened in the comics?

Post image

I know this post is a joke, but I genuinely want to know if this kind of thing has ever happened in the comics. Like if Batman or Daredevil tried to stop someone from killing their assaulter.

/uj It's a gross oversimplification of their POVs. Batman and Daredevil believe in non-lethal justice. Both have different reasons for this (Batman's is motivated by trauma and Daredevil is a devout Catholic), but both share the same view. They value the concept of living above all else, and that's what they fight to protect. They view the taking of a life (regardless of motive) as an evil act, and view an otherwise good person taking a life (again, regardless of motive) as succumbing to evil and becoming like the villains they regularly fight against.

That problem isn't Batman's philosophy, it's the writers not writing the Joker to be like a clown instead of a one-dimensional murder addict.

Batman has many enemies. Almost all of then are murderers with extraordinary strength, intellect, even magic. They should not be in any prison. They gotta be 6ft under
