Yeah I’m not gonna pretend to know anything about NY so I just took a guess. Like I said before I don’t think Batman is crazy he just has an intense drive that comes from trauma in his life. I don’t think any other hero is as driven as Batman, when he commits himself to something he does it more and harder than anybody else on earth.
Everyone has their own version of Batman tho so it depends on which writer you agree with more I guess. He’s been around so long and has so many great stories that he’s one of those characters people have completely different takes on.
No, Bats is DEFINITELY crazy. It’s pretty much acknowledged by most of his fellow heroes and rogue gallery. The only thing separating him from them is his Thou Shall Not Kill code he carries. That’s literally the ONLY thing.
Okay, straight up killing people would be bad for Batman since he’s against killing. But something like breaking a thug’s arm or leg in multiple places as part of an angry interogation…I’m okay with that.
I get it saitsu your opinion is different cool. But I still don’t think Bats is crazy, I think it’s a front to get in his enemy’s head. There are many characters that I think are less stable than Bats but I’ll just leave it alone because people in this thread are stubborn and I doubt I’ll change anyone’s mind.
Why do I have the feeling that a lot of people think most of my opinions are only said because they’re contradictory?
Anyway, just because there are people that are less stable than Bats, which is definitely true, it doesn’t make him any less crazy. Someone who commits murder based on jealousy is less crazy than most serial killers, it doesn’t make the first murderer any more sane. Bats is not sane, and I don’t really expect him to be all considering. DCU is just lucky that he decides to be on the good guys’ side…mostly.
Batman is definitely looney. Read Morrison’s run. Bat-Mite revealed to be a fragment of Batman’s imagination, created the personality of Batman of the planet Zur-En-Arrh so he can continue to operate as Batman in the event he’s gets mindfucked or driven completely over the edge. He created Brother I over his paranoia of metahumans. Bats may not be the level of craziness of his rouges or the Creeper but he ain’t right in the head.
Like I already said I don’t wanna get dragged into another argument but I think Bats is just driven and paranoid but not legitimately crazy. Of course he has issues but who wouldn’t after all he’s been through. If Bats is “insane” then they need to lock up Wolverine immediately.
No offense to anyone, but I just don’t care enough about their views on Batman to argue this so I’m done. I didn’t think it’d be this big thing when I first made the comment. :wonder:
If you don’t want people commenting on their point of views on your comment or don’t care about them, shut up and don’t bother saying anything in the first place.
And freudian excuses for loss of sanity doesn’t excuse the loss of sanity.
Don’t be a baby about this, I said I don’t care enough to argue about it. Which means talk all you want about it but leave me out of it. I simply stated my opinion on something, backed it up with solid reason why, then said agree to disagree I’m done.
Batman hasn’t lost his sanity, he’s still very aware of the reality around him. You make it seem like he needs to be in a padded room or something lol.
Either way I’ll stop reply about this topic starting…now.
I’m probably very late with this two videos, but it’s the first time I’m seeing them so who knows.
It’s obviously nothing new and maybe even nearly the exact same footage from the past NRS presentations, but it’s without the talking - with background music and so on. Looks good!
I definitely believe Batman has a screw loose, but that is why I actually believe he is the least likely to go all dictator. He is crazy dedicated to preserving his ethics, such as the no kill rule and the desire to not harm innocents etc. Most people would have killed Joker now, especially after something like the Jason Todd indecent. But Batman’s sheer determination has prevented him from doing it. The thing is both he and Superman have both admitted to already struggling with abusing whatever power they have, and both managing to fight it. However Batman is already crazy,and has already had the big traumatic losses without breaking these rules,so it would take a heck of a lot to give him a drastic character change (such as taking over the world). Superman is perfectly normal, so a tragic event (such as losing Lois) is highly capable of making him snap, and at that point who knows what could happen. All IMO of course.
I feel bad, we’re getting into ‘talking about comics in general instead of about the game’, but I wanna push this a little farther.
They’re both absurdly dedicated to their ideals though, that was the point of the ending of KC (I know I keep going back to that, but I think its the key to and inspiration for the Injustice story)
[details=Spoiler]
Superman was willing to sacrifice all the work he’d done in the entire story and let a huge risk survive in the world because he valued all (meta)human life that much and wouldn’t let people die on his watch[/details]
But still, you guys are probably right and Bats isn’t inherently more likely to go all dictatorship. The choice bugs me I think because of the explicitly fascist imagery. You can buy Superman breaking and taking control, but you can’t buy him going all nazi. It’s like Captain America going all Nazi.
Simple reason for the choice, Batman is the underdog.
As for the fascist imagery, I’m guessing that has more to do with getting the mases behind his plans (hard to run a government by force, you need supporters) ,political movements need signs to latch onto, hence the imagery.
Plenty of people have kicked his butt. But the main point with the underdog thing is despite his win record he is the one who has to put the most effort into winning. Superman just needs to flick Batman hard to win, Batman needs to make preparations and exploit weaknesses etc. In most sports movies you know the under dog is going to win before the end, it doesn’t negate them being an underdog.
