/co/, what if Bruce Wayne was a Mega City One citizen who becomes a judge after the murder of his parents?
>>82723023
He'd get booted out for refusing to execute a perp
>>82723072
he would be the law in that scenario so he would do it without problem
>>82723093
Are you implying that batman doest kill people because he's worried about breaking the law?
>>82723093
>being this casual
10 years, creep.
>>82723106
Yes, he also works with Gordon that wants things by the book. It's not like he didn't try to kill people too and was always stopped.
>>82723196
>le he is crazy meme
If anything that's the casual thing.
>>82723072
Being raised in MCO, and being on the side of the law, he definitely would be okay with it. I mean, did he ever object to legal death penalty in comics?
>>82723106
More like he didn't stay in tee Catholic school, he doesnt care about the Hippocratic oath of his father, didn't grow up around Buddhist masters.
Everything growing up made him respect life over anything else. In this escenario. That doesn't exist. So yes that guy is right, as a judge Bruce doesn't give a fuck about the santicity Of lifE
>>82723228
>le he is crazy meme
Miller's DD?
>>82723339
>Buddhist masters
Is buddhism illegal in Mega City One?
He doesn't like the death penalty or even abortions, but is a moral position not a part of his mission, O'Neil, Morrison, Miller and Dixon all portrait Bruce background as Catholic (Gotham is mostly Catholic even when writers like Alan grant usually go for the Episcopal road). Bruce rule comes from his training, past and trauma, but Bruce politics we're shaped by his parents long before that.
>>82723475
Thats the point, without all that there's no "rule". He would be a Normal judge
>>82723545
That was a question, actually, but from your post I'm assuming it is.
>Is all religion illegal?
>>82723023
Thats like the back story for 75% of the judge students.

It's been in a few issues, but Bruce is against capital punishment and the current prison system in the DCU as he believes in reform over punishment. He's spoken out about it a number of times how Blackgate makes more criminals than it reforms. At the end of the day, he believes there shouldn't need to be a Batman (He just can't cope with the fact he just creates more madmen as the batmjan). But the system is always against them in the DCU since Blackgate and Belle Rev are just government and supervillain recruiting grounds while corruption is ongoing. He just works on the edge of the law because without it, he's no worse than the criminals.
MC1, he'd work within the law. Death is frequent and life isn't as sacred due to overpopulation in the blocks of MC1. He'd probably be more like Joe Dredd himself who prefers to send people to the cubes, however. Though Bruce would do it out of a misguided sense of possible reform, while Dredd does it because the cubes are a fate worse than death and it sends a message the Judges can make things much worse than a quick bullet to the head.
>>82723523
>Gotham is mostly Catholic
That explains all the theft and pederasty crimes in the city.
>>82723023
He'd be less of a wuss.
>>82723292
Given how young Bruce was when his parents were killed (how old was he, traditionally?), how rich the Waynes are and the fact his only guardian is hired help, its quite likely that the Judges would try to get him adopted by the Academy of Law as a cadet, just like with America Beeny and Galen DeMarco.
His aversion to guns is going to get him into trouble, but there's nothing that drugs, surgery and psis can't fix. He'll do well with Applied Violence and investigation though.
>>82724151
8-10 years old
>>82723576
There are a few officially sanctioned religions the most popular being the Universal Church of Grud.
Basically the Judges don't care what you believe but if you start running your mouth and trying to gather followers they'll crack down on you.
>>82724195
Getting a bit old to be a Judge Cadet then, they tend to recruit at 5 and keep them training for the next fifteen years. They've taken older children occasionally though, and if someone high up in command thinks there's a good chance they'll be able to get the Wayne family fortune by taking him in they might push for it.
>>82724151
Bruce would be a bit old for the academy of law. Recruits typically start at at five but exceptions have been made in the past
>>82724151
Huh. Actually a judge that keeps a lawgiver on himself at all times because he has to, but never uses it and just punches people the fuck out would be an interesting concept.
Basically, this thread should be about "What if X became a judge"
So, what if Jimmy Olsen became a Judge. Silver Age Jimmy Olsen.
>>82724377
NO MUTIES
>>82724415
Silver Age Lois Lane?

Fits perfectly well into pre-apocalypse War mega city one, and usually gets dropped into cases involving the moronic fads of the Big Meg's cits. He eventually takes the Long Walk into the Cursed Earth, where he has even more wacky adventures.

Life sentence for leaking information from the force, and expelled from the force for getting overweight.
>>82723093
You're wrong.
In most incarnations he refuses to use guns because a revolver killed his parents. He refuses to kill because it's what distinguish him from criminals.
He hits, maims and inflicts property damage, even if those are illegal acts.
He beat dangerous individuals that didn't break any law.
He left some petty criminals go away.
Batman isn't about the law at all.
He still wouldn't use guns, and it would probably go like >>82724292 depicted it.
>>82724415
He'd fit perfectly in Wally Squad.
>>82724639
>isn't about the law
You're right, he is about justice.
>>82724999
exactly. On the other hand, Dredd is about the Law more than Justice.
>>82724631
>Life sentence for leaking information from the force
Standard is 20 years on titan.
