He could just become a cop instead of being retarded manchild and dress in a fucking bat costume. How can ANY criminal take him seriously is beyond me first of all they know he won't kill them so why would they be afraid of him? Also would you take an asshole in a halloween costume seriously? I wouldn't. The fact that Batman is still even alive says more about Gotham gangsters than it says about Batman.
>>82480017
kek
>>82480017
It's almost like Bruce Wayne is not right in the head or something.
>>82480017
Cops have red tape.
Gotham cops are corrupt
Gotham politics are corrupt.
As Batman he can act on his own and does as he will
>he won't kill
Yeah but take a pack of crackers and stomp it a few times. That's what your bones will be like when he's done.
Plus he can prevent crimes no normal police can.
He can also investigate things in ways no normal police can.
He has the resources of a small nation all devoted to himself.
He has skills beyond any cop because he paid for them with money and supreme willpower.
He also does philantropy on the side.
>>82480017
Does /co/ have a hateboner for Batman? I'm indifferent to him, but /co/ always seems to shit on him.
>>82480017
There was a kid I knew in middle school a long time ago that said something eerily similar. Thought it was pretty funny even though I don't agree with it.
>>82480164
So then why doesn't he just a private defective license?
>>82480255
Defective*
>>82480017
>why would they be afraid of him?
BATMAN. FUCKS. YOUR SHIT. UP.
and you never see it coming
the Bat imagery + his ridiculous skills make criminals believe he's not human
>>82480255
It wouldn't really instill much fear. Batman's presence causes some criminals to reconsider pulling certain crimes because they're afraid to cross the bat.
>>82480167
He's popular.
>>82480255
because he'd paint a big target on his back that say, a gigantic mutant crocodile man or a dude with a sniper rifle could follow on.
Batman works in the shadows because it's the only way to fight in a city like Gotham, an hostile enviroment.
ALSO BECAUSE BATS, GADGETS AND ARMORED SUITS BRO
>>82480017
>Also would you take an asshole in a halloween costume seriously? I wouldn't.
Sure.
>>82480255
More than one plot involves Bruce pretending to be an idiot, or socializing with people, as a way to get information.
They wouldn't give him any of that information if they knew that.
Also, villains would know where his base of operations are, and be able to attack him there.
>>82480311
When Croc broke his fucking back it was made pretty clear he is merely human didn't the news spread?
>>82480255
>>82480017
Can you at least do a little bit of research before coming off like you're so clever for asking questions that have been answered dozens of times?
>>82480348
I can literally kick Ben Affleck's ass.
>>82480164
Yeah, if only there weren't those pesky limitations that cops have, a lot more good could be done.
>>82480017
If a cop could fix Gotham, Gordon would have already done it.
The point is that Gotham needs something more.
>>82480332
Makes sense.
>>82480017
>cops
>efficient
>just
>incorruptible
>>82480399
Yeah and Batman certainly is not enough he's a fucking faggot.
>>82480399
Eh, logically the feds would have stepped in a long time ago.
>>82480405
>individuals
>efficient
>just
>uncorruptible
>>82480348
I could wreck him with a lead pipe hold my beer.
>>82480466
>implying Batman isn't all of those things to a fault
>>82480358
>Croc
it was Bane
also, Azrael donned the suit so, to criminal's collective knowledge, Batman wasn't taken down. He actually got a whole lot scarier for a while, more violent and ruthless, and he whooped Bane's ass
>>82480017
At the time of my posting your bait has already colleced ten (you)s. Impressive. Have another.
>>82480398
That argument would work if Gotham wasn't basically cursed to have every single thing working against justice being carried out.
>b-but
Batman is right.
That's it, he's not attacking for political motivations, he's literally stopping violent criminals from harming people because the police can't or won't act due to the fucking curse. Curse = writing
Oh and you may not know, but there are places just like fucking Gotham. I remember the time when a guy was arrested and released, meanwhile the woman he had robbed was still stuck in the bureacracy inside the police department. When she left the building, the guy who had been waiting there just killed her and left.
gg wp
>One person with no guns fighting individual crimes across an entire city
He'd accomplish jack shit.
>Gotham is always filthy, corrupt and riddled with crime. To the point where its usually the most criminal city in the world
Batman is fucking useless at his job.
>>82480466
>individuals
General individuals?
No.
Batman? Yes. Is it bullshit? Yes. But it's how he is written.
>>82480600
So is New York and almost half the Marvel heroes live there
>>82480017
You make a good point that I'm sure no one has ever brought before
I bet the adventure of Bruce Wayne police detective would be a lot more entertaining than the story about a billionaire ninja in a Halloween costume with an armory full of James Bond gadgets.
It makes me wonder why they just didn't do that instead, because the police fiction genre is starving for new material.
Actually, that's what Gotham kind of is, now that I think about it. No wonder that show is so amazing.
Waiting for the inevitable
"Why doesn't he donate his money?"
>>82480593
You don't know what Batman usually does or what resources and training he has right?
>muh realism
Oh right.
>>>/out/
>>82480600
Gotham Curse.
>>82480682
>You don't know what Batman usually does or what resources and training he has right?
He's still one guy beating up criminals one at a time.
>>82480017
No no, you're missing something important.
He was trained to be a ninja. You can't just change vocation from ninja to cop, you have to reroll your character entirely. So of course he dressed up in a suit and ninjas around the city.
>would you take an asshole in a halloween costume seriously?
If he was beating the snot out of me, yeah, I think I'd take him pretty seriously.
>>82480682
>>82480715
One guy with super high tech gear beating up super criminals and stopping organized crime, conspiracies etc.
He doesn't just defend gotham from crime, he strikes where it lives and fights crime the police can't handle.
He also happens to have unbreakable willpower, master detective skills, supreme physical conditioning, traning with weapons, acrobatics, infiltration, martial arts.
He is a genius who has perfect memory, knows biology, physics, mathematics, history, chemistry, you fucking name it.
He has high tactical knowledge and awareness.
He has abilities in tracking, escaping, stalking, chasing, and so fucking on.
Batman's superpower is being basically the apex of a human being with the resources of a small nation.
It is embarrassing how easy it is to get responses to a batman bait thread. And I should know, I used to post them all the time.
>>82480740
Poor Bruce ;_;
>>82480830
>>82480017
Billionaires don't become cops kiddo.
Also it sounds like you never got the shit kicked out of you before. If Batman beat people up all over your town you'd better believe criminals would be afraid.
>>82480017
Being a cop is a poor persons job. If Bruce Wayne wasn't Batman he'd just be a Billionaire CEO like he already is.
>>82480017
you do realise that the scare tactics, the brutal force with which he strikes and crushes your bones, the impossible speed at which he takes your fellow henchmen one by one in the dark and the whole Bat thing makes the average thug think of Batman as something in the line of pic related, right?

Where did you get that idea

>>82480911
hey, I find it fun to bite the bait.
you never know when you'll find someone who actually believes this shit

In Arkham Asylum vidya he didn't.
>>82481161
that is a nice fucking video

I kinda wana to see a "Through the eyes of the thug" version of the predator maps in arkham games.

he does it all the fucking time
also, you're going to have to bait harder to make me believe your whole knowledge about Batman relies on the Arkham games
>>82481072
It would be nice to have a survival horror game where you play as a criminal trying to avoid Batman.
>>82481072
fuck yessss
I love this whole concept
>>82481481
Use the X-Ray vision afterwards it shows the bones are still intact.
>>82481459
>youf references look solid
kek
>>82481345
Are you kidding? He shatters bones constantly in those games, complete with loud crunching sound effects.
>>82481519
you just blew my mind right now
>but you know he's supposed to be breaking them
>>82481519
You can run unconscious people over in Arkham Knight, that doesn't mean they're dead.
>>82481459
>>82480017
So him saving the world several times and the universe a couple of times means nothing to you?
Autism
>>82481492
There hasn't even been a survival horror esque comic through the perspective of a criminal trying to dodge Batman.
>>82481602
>>82481654
That's what it should have been, we shouldn't have waited for five nights at freddies, it should have been one night out of arkham where you're two-face or riddler and your entire goal is to make sure none of the batfamily get you.
>>82481654
I mean in 75 years at least one of these books has done a sequence like that.
>>82481654
I've always fantasized about writing something on the lines of that
either a full noir detective Batman, solving murders (Long Halloween or Hush left me unsatisfied in that regard. I want something more crude, more real. Pretty much a dark detective story with a Batman twist)
that or the really fucking scary Batman you just mentioned
>why not both.jpg
>>82481716
>>82481776
>I've always fantasized about writing something on the lines of that
FANFICTION LOL
>>82481654
Actually there has been, also comics about terrific stories told by criminals.
>>82482032
Awww, He's more of a dad when he's not Batman. Why can't we just have Bruce be permanently crippled and take a place as navigator with Oracle so he could be a nice dad instead?
>>82482104
nah. I'd take it seriously, be done with it to take it off my system, and then put it in a drawer never to see the light again
I have no false pretences concerning my writing skills
>>82482032
>>82482145
I would actually read a Bat tactician comic where he just organizes the efforts of the rest from home and has to deal with feeling impotent, etc.
>>82482145
he would still be a asshole because that's hir sole in the family now
>>82482297
>>82480017
I laughed, but to be fair you could say that about 90% of other superheroes. Also Batman doesn't like oversight.
Batman is actually Bruce Wayne's fursona. The criminals realize these when they see him, and rightly react in fear and panic. Being the Batman is more important to Bruce Wayne than stopping crimes so of course he isn't going to use his money to fund a merc force or bribe super-criminals into retiring. He gets off on beating up criminals while rock-hard and dressed in a skintight batsuit.
>>82482333
I feel like it would be nice to see him actually worry about everyone else rather then the Mission though. It could add to his place in the family and change the dynamic of all his relationships.
>>82482355
How he managed to play 1 hour of golf is beyond me
>>82480017
>first of all they know he won't kill them so why would they be afraid of him?
>I'm Batman. If I killed a henchman like you, do you really think anyone would ever find out?
>>82482420
I know you're joking but
>merc force
>bribe super criminals
Yeaaaah that would totally work man, uh huh, yep, yeeeep.
>>82482462
>>82482420
>he doesn't really like Catwoman but she's the only hot chick he's found that's into all his fetishes
>there's Orca, but he has a strict "no fatties" rule
>>82482518
>>82482616
>>82482470
And it's a fucking bluff the gang would know they have one fucker missing.
>>82482646
>>82482689
I think having your bones rearranged to look like modern art for the rest of your life is arguably worse than death.
>>82482739
kek
God dammit, Tim, That's still vandalism
>>82482739
>>82482470
These are people that have neber bean beaten/got their bones breaked
You would be scared of facing a guy that does that
>b-but you will get better eventually!
Yeah, doesn't mean it wouldn't hurt like hell
>>82481601
>aims detective vision at bloody smear on the ground
>unconscious
It's so Batman could live with himself.
>>82482804
>>82482789
At least it'll make for a funny pic in the morning newspapers
>>82482834
The tankmobile electrocutes people and throws them 5 meters in the air against solid surfaces, then you run them over and fire a few explosive rounds their way.
>>82482859
But it's non-lethal so it's okay.
>>82480017
>How can ANY criminal take him seriously is beyond me first of all they know he won't kill them so why would they be afraid of him?
Do you go around talking shit to mean looking jacked dudes because even though they might break your ribs and cause you to have to get your teeth pumped out of your stomach they're not going to kill you? Or does your sense of not wanting to get fucked up anyway make you avoid things like that and be afraid of people who could do that to you?

My favorite thing to do in Arkham Knight is dispelling riots by driving through them as fast as possible. Also taking out cars with missiles then ramming the wrecks into a wall until they explode. Then running them over with the tazermobile when they get out of the smoking wreckage and try to escape.
>>82483192
>Zach Snyder Plays: Arkham Knight
>>82483171
No problem
>>82483192
It really is the only non-lethal way to capture thugs.
>>82483248
The fact that all of your hapless victims just kind of disappear immediately after they go off screen really makes it all funnier. It's such a dumb mechanic, but god I can only imagine how much worse it would be if they'd put actual civilians in.
>>82483438
The specific reason of them evacuating the city was so you could avoid that while rolling around in the batmobile.
>>82483438
>how much worse it would be if they'd put actual civilians in.
>put in a realistic road system for a large urban area complete with true-to-life traffic patterns
>driving from point A to point B now takes forty-five minutes in real time
>>82483627
No shit, I'm just imagining how hilariously bad it would be if you could. Batmanslaughter everywhere.

>>82483676
GTA: Gotham City Stories
Also it'd probably be like the tumbler from Nolanverse because you can't trust players to drive as well as Batman can
>>82483716
The Arkham Knight Batmobile essentially is a more streamlined Tumbler. Hell I think there's even a Tumbler skin.
>>82483676
They'd have to jump out the way like in Driver San Francisco.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Golden Age Bruce go to law school and police academy to become a police investigator or something like that?And then just quit when he realized law was ass?
>>82483819
There is but only for races.
I meant as in racing on roof tops.
Well you actually do that in AK though.
>>82482859
>In a middle of a busy night, Batman makes time to keep a former friend company
I cannot get over how much I like this page.
...granted, he probably goes over to make sure the Joker hasn't escaped again but it's still a nice gesture.
I've heard Batman sucked Superman's cock to get into Justice League.
>>82484014
He went to the FBI After college (where he got like 14 degrees in 3 years)
>>82480017
they really need to get rid of that stupid no killing rule
>>82484014

>>82480477

Wonder when they'll announce the sequel.
>>82480348
this needs to be one of those what's wrong with this picture gifs
>>82482108
name someor post some
it would help with the world building too
how do the normie criminals do their deeds in the presence of superhero patrols
>>82485026
Whenever I hear henchman talking about the Bat being a pushover or how they've been lucky enough to never run into him, I can't help swooping down regardless of what I'm doing. It never gets old for me and I've played each game at least 5 times.
>>82480715
>>82480600
>>82480593
It's how he gets off. Punching bad guys in the face. Who are you to judge how he gets his jollies?
fuck da police
>>82481089
Love the Dark Knight.
>>82480600
Bludhaven and Hub city are way worse
>>82480825
We've already established Batman is a pussy and /co/ can kick his ass
>>82480477
>>82480369
>>82482834
What if all this time he's just been hallucinating or fooling himself into thinking he doesn't kill?
>oh shit that guy landed awkwardly after my throw
>is he dead
>no that's definitely a pulse he's totally not dead he's fine
The police pull up to a warehouse where batman has stopped a robbery, it's full of dead bodies
Everyone around him always covers up all the deaths to protect his small grip on reality
Idk I'm no writer but it could be good, maybe even kind of funny
>>82487784
>oh that crazy guy with the mask you ki-captured last week? He's over in arkham getting the help he needs
>he plays with all the other inmates he's very happy and not dead
Like parents telling a little kid the dog went to go live on a farm
>arkham asylum is just a mass grave of bat victims that batman thinks are all getting treated and rehabilitated
>>82480017
Because he's very skilled. How skilled? As skilled as the plot needs him to be. It's provided over 75 years of Batman stories.
>>82480255
You know there are LAWS on PIs, right?
>>82480255
Because detectives have to follow laws you dolt. That's the obvious purpose of becoming a vigilante.
