There's a video on YouTube (which I can't find, sadly) where qualified psychiatrists discuss whether or not Batman actually IS crazy. They all agree that he's not exactly a picture of mental health, but he doesn't really fit into any actual mental disorder, because the people who do wouldn't do what Bruce has done i.e. become a vigilante (specifically, one with a no-kill policy).

In fact, the one disorder he DOES have is thanatophobia - a fear of death. THAT is why Batman doesn't kill The Joker... he's too traumatised by the death of his parents to take another life.

>>
>>84370784
Yeah, villains go, "Batman made me do it!" as a challenge for the hero to overcome, and like Joker going, "Lol I dare you to kill me cause I know you won't!" the trick became so effective it turned into part of the character which...sort of ruined the trick.

They need to take a break from both gimmicks.

>>84370794
I think, "What the fuck is wrong with gotham that it needs at Batman?" is a legitimate point and could even be a cool story.

The problem is writers (and fans) suddenly forgetting that Bruce ISN'T a playboy venting a childhood trauma in the faces of petty criminals. Batman using Bruce Wayne and the Wayne foundation to try and fight crime through social and economic means has been a significant part of the character since the bronze age.

Wayne, like Queen, is the last of a tradition in American capitalism where the rich were expected, as a tradition within their social class, to give back to the cities that made their fortunes; build bridges, fund police retirement funds, revamp government buildings so the city doesn't have to shoulder that cost. I think you could get a lot of cool stories out of ultramodern vulture capitalists taking brutal advantage of what they'd see as a weakness in the Wayne business plan.

What I'm saying is lets push Great White Shark for summer slam.

All the people saying this is a liberal strawman must be too young to remember that throughout the 90s the exact same argument was being rolled out by the religious right and conservatives. Pokemon? The work of the devil. D&D? Turns kids into satanists. Rap? Turns whites into thugs. Cultivation theory isn't a political tool, it's been used by hacks across the political spectrum for decades and decades, whether it's idiots on the right complaining about violent video games or idiots on the left complaining about sexist video games.

Having not delved too deep into this: Weren't a lot of the old stories about gangsters trying to rob charity events and shit? Like, old villains were sort of there to fuck with Batman not as a pissing match with another looney, but because Bruce Wayne in trying to do good made himself a target?

The only villain one could sort of argue Batman created is the Joker (and even that is debatable depending on what origin you believe). Everyone else would still be a criminal even without Batman, and would probably have caused far more damage without a Batman to stop them.
>>
>>84369356
>>84369356
See, Wolfman has an ability not to blame the victim, not to blame the criminal, but to blame the law protecting people by saying batman caused his criminals.

He blames media for popularizing batman and he thinks too much about analysis, calling two-face an ideological doppelgänger to Batman? Dude, the guys a criminal, Batman just tries to take him down.

What I like about TDKR Bruce is despite our idea of him being downright psychotic, he's merely a reaction to the world around him. That's probably the one thing he relates to Harvey about, Bruce tries to ignore his batman side but he can't just as Harvey can't ignore two-face. But that being said, he also has different considerations for different villains, instead of an all or nothing approach. Bruce Wayne actually funded Dents rehabilitation, Mutant leader doesn't get punished he gets systematically taken out through strategy, there's no holds barred on Joker Batman just goes nuts and does literally anything he wants but kill him, and when the government wants to hunt batman down for being a better sheriff to Gotham, he treats Yindel as a basically a threat to ignore, and Superman a threat to tackle to the ground and scare him because that's the only option. Batman wasn't trying to kill superman. He was trying to scare people. Supes by beating him to an inch of his life, gov for fighting superman.

The best part about the animated movie was the Christopher Reeve superman poster, implying that supes is Chris

I think it's disingenuous to reduce the claim that there are societal forces that push people towards crime in order to equate it with "bad people aren't responsible for their own actions!"

Of course those people are responsible for their actions. But you don't have to deny that to acknowledge that one is influenced by their surroundings and limitations.

Yes the claim that Batman creates crime is dumb. But that claim is not equal to the notion that blacks (ie, the impoverished, because when we come down to it most violent crime is by the poor and a higher percentage of blacks are poor compared to the percentage of whites, that is pretty much the largest reason why they appear to have a disproportionate amount of crime) commit crime because of their lot in life.

You guys seriously don't have enough brain capacity to understand Miller's writing if you think this character is "100% right" or "100% wrong". Everyone in this book is a strawman for whatever ideology they represent, and everyone is wrong or right depending on where you lean on the political spectrum. The Dark Knight universe is a satirical futuristic nightmare world very similar to Robocop.

The only one who's right in this book is Batman because Batman is fucking bad ass and that's the point.

The guys point is that Millers not 100% against Liberals because Batmans only superhero buddy in the story shown was Oliver who is as liberal as they come.

He's talking about Harvey, though.

Joker did act because of Batman's return, he also exists because of Batman. But he's pretty much unique in that regard, the only one that OP's psychologist's reasoning can be applied to. Why stop being Batman because of just one guy? Joker may do a lot of shit, but that's just a small fragment of the crime that goes on in Gotham. So, on the whole, I'd say Batman is needed.

>The Joker wouldn't have ever existed if the Bruce has spent all that money on the Gotham Police instead of just on himself
>Why couldn't Batman just train the police to act that way?

Just throwing money at something doesn't always work. And if Batman can do what a whole police force can't, I'd say it's more the man trained than the training provided.
>>
>>84372547
He wasn't the hero. From the perspective of the mystery part of the plot, he was the protagonist. But he wasn't the hero of the story.

Arguably no one is, and arguably Ozzy is. I think Watchmen eschews the Monomyth, making pointing to a single character that could be considered a hero difficult.

And their reasoning is perfectly fine, ghetto culture is absolute trash and completely toxic, unless your dream is to drugs and get shot in a gang rivalry at age 26. But for some reason the black community doesn't want to let go of it, and as long as that happens, they are their own worst enemy

The comic ransacks Democrats and Republicans both. You have the psychologist idiot, but the comic also makes fun of the President (who looks like Ronald Reagan) and that fuckstick with a gun who just goes crazy on people in the street when he thinks the world is ending: "It was the end of the world and I had a gun". The way it plays out, depending on how you want to look at it, you could argue Batman is either a libertarian who takes matters into his own hands, government and established "legal" authorities be damned, or as fascistic because all that matters is his will, his way.

the 'truth' of Nobless Oblige is debatable but it was something taugfht to the wealthy upperclass. "You owe society, especially the underclass, a debt. Without them you could not be where you are. Fund means of transit to aid the worker in reaching his destination. Fund soup kitchens to feed the hungry, fund flophoises to hoise the homeless. Make a difference and repay the faith that was placed in you."

I miss when people could take a joke about their politics. Kelsey Grammer is a republican and he loved delivering that line.
>>
>>84374230
>Batman is not part of the state, and holds no legitimate authority, he inherently cannot be fascist.
That's an arbitrary line. The only thing that makes the state have authority is what it can enforce and what people accept.
>>
>>84374062
This.

I think the important thing here is to remember to judge individuals by their actions. Content of character and all that.

Making any generalization about white, black, whatever, just legitimizes prejudice.

Was he right about Batman and Joker?

When the opportunity cost is low, of course this is what you should do.

>Making any generalization about white, black, whatever, just legitimizes prejudice.

Closing your eyes to reality causes schizophrenia.

At some point for anyone the opportunity cost for not using statistical predictors in their decision making becomes too great. Phenotypes unfortunately are very powerful predictors.

Making general observations about whites and blacks can legitimize prejudice ... but that's not nearly enough reason not to do it.

why is he barefoot?

Because he's a filthy hippy, obviously

Bleeding heart social science-major hippie liberal.

He's not a democrat, he's a radical nature-loving hippy, he's all over the scale.

Not in fascist terms. The state is a separate entity according to fascism, which holds the supreme right of liberty above every other individual, who are to obey the state. If Miller was a fascist, he would've portrayed a fascist Batman differently. Batman was more randian than fascist.
>>
>>84370759
This. The weird thing is that this guy isn't based on any real person, just an imagined one, one that would argue against the death penalty or believe that criminals are just mentally ill and can be cured. People who have mental hospitals to fill. People like Batman.

I love The Dark Knight Returns, but there are some awkward weak points.
>>
>>84374062
>DURR HURR STOOPID JEW- I MEAN - LIBRULS
There's nothing to suggest Miller has antisemitic opinions.
>>
>>84377488
There are people like that who exist.
>>
>>84374062
It was weird how right he was, but there's a deeper point to be made: Being right doesn't mean being in the right.
>>
>>84369356
So Miller is a conservative right? Cause "liberals are stupid" felt like a big theme in this story.

Who are they? Who out there thinks that psychopaths are a new invention created by the media?

>the consequences of hoodlums turning into wannabe batman copycats

As Lana Lang said
>If they kill criminals it's a-ok
>>
>>84377382
Batman is acting as an authority that supercedes the state and acts unilaterally.
>>
>>84377718
Both sides got ribbing. Miller agrees with conservatives on some issues, but not most.
>>84377727
The dindu meme didn't come out of nowhere.
>>
>>84377718
Yeah pretty much. It makes for a good story and it's an interesting take on the Batman story in the mind of someone who saw a doomed liberal future. Like how Batman made his fight with Superman personal in the end. What he said made it less about doing what's right and more about conquest.
>>
>>84377718

Considering what he does with Reagan it's more like everyone's stupid
>>
>>84377718
well he also made fun of ronald reagan and crazy conservatives, portraying them as a bunch of rich, corrupt, pieces of racist shit.

he is conservative but a weird batman conservative where he still stands for rebellion/art/progress... which is weird
>>
>>84377762
Criminals are people, too, who have reasons for their actions. They're not some subhuman race born with the urge to commit crime.

There's Fredric Wertham, the guy who infamously blamed juvenile delinquency on comic books because he interviewed juvenile delinquents, found out they all read comic books, and assumed that correlation equaled causation.
>>
>>84377879
I was actually complaining about the way he "resolved" the problem
Sorry if it came out the wrong way
>>
>>84371754
Ironically, the only time Luthor actually improved the world when Superman was gone was only because he became the world leader.
>>
>>84377962
Yea honestly I think liberals complain about media content way more than conservatives.

Although religious conservatives do complain about things that offend their religious values I still see "triggered" liberals wanting censorship way more often.
>>
>>84378058
Those religious conservatives had far more noise and influence in the 80s and 90s, but they all got old and died.
>>
>>84377962
I haven't read about him, but did he say that these problems didn't exist before comics? The problem with Dr. Jewfrohitler is that he implies that Batman makes his villains commit revenge crimes because he oppressed them when they commit crimes.
>>
>>84378058
In the same way that conservatives throw a bitch fit over a strong female lead in Mad Max or a gay character in How to Train your Dragon 2.
We know it's not all conservatives just like we know it's not all liberals. Social media not only gives people a new way to voice shitty opinions, but also a new way to draw attention to their shitty opinions or for people to write articles about how shitty their opinion is, and framing it in such a way that in our heads "something that one asshole believes" becomes "something those assholes believe."

You need to shut up. There are a multitude of factors, indeed among them Ethnicity, that play a part in the causal relationship with crime. Ethnicity however only has a small influence. Every criminologist can tell you that. Also, what crime? Street crimes? White collar crimes? Cybercrime?
>>
>>84371006
A black committing violence likely has only himself to blame but the fact that there is lots of violence from blacks as whole in america is societal thing.
Not to say the black community isn't responsible for it's actions however there are other factors as well. The media is pretty bad when it comes to enabling the bad habits of black culture.

No they didn't
it was just some mgtow ledditors

Politics as a single axis was a mistake

God DAMN Kelsey Grammer is an amazing actor. Bonus points for him saying those lines whilst being a card-carrying Republican himself; we all need to learn to poke fun at our own beliefs every now and then.
>>
>>84378278
>female lead
>Mad Max
That's the problem, you fucking dipshit. He wasn't the lead in his own movie.
>>
>>84379235
Whenever on /tg/ someone made a thread about doing a campaign in the Mad Max world it would always develop in a fight between people complaining about "the shitty SJW movie" and the one defending it

>>84379638
You're acting like he was the lead in the others

I think people are too afraid to put dividing lines of behavior within races. You see the same phenomenon with trumps supposed racism towards Mexicans and the term "radical islam".

But /tg/ is a good board. They don't tend to stupid discussions in their threads.
>>
>>84379235
It was a big to do among the MMR crowd. The point that I was making was roping a select group with the larger, sweeping group by using broad terms is dumb.

I mean really, a gay Breitbart journalist writes an angry anti-trans article and a conservative radio guy goes on a tirade about how vicious the gay community is.
>>
>>84379919
As somebody who lurks a fair amount on /tg/... yeah, they can. Hell, I had to be warned for arguing politics in a recent board games thread.

>Every anti-social act can be traced to irreponsible media input

It's amazing how this line of thinking has resurfaced in the past few years. Of all the things from the late 80s/early 90s that made a return, it had to be that.
>>
>>84380838
It never left, but at the same time that's really a gross stereotype and exagguration of what they're really saying.
>>
>>84379733
He wasn't.
>>
>>84375735
he was absolutely correct. they really wanted to fuck each other the whole time.
>>
>>84369356
why does this guy remind me of Mr. Satan from Dragonball Z screaming that its all special effects and tricks.
>>
>>84376826
Because subtly is for liberal faggots.
>>
>>84379740
>supposed racism
>supposed
>>
>>84381741
so that's what he meant

then why were people disagreeing with him?
