I am a fan of batman and I know that batman hates firearms but wouldn't you guys like to see batman pull a pistol out and shoot joker right in the head I know that the thought of batman using guns is dumb and kind of hilarious. But wouldn't you want to see batman lose his marbles and just go postal on every bad-guy instead of locking them up in jail only for them to escape and do it all over again. I know batman against the thought of murder but does he ever think jeez these guys keep coming back and messing up Gotham maybe a bullet to the brain will stop them. Now would you like to see batman go gun ho on all the bad-guys.

Possibly an other world would be good

Nah, even that picture just doesn't look right.

The idea that Batman would use guns is not dumb - the idea that Batman would not avail himself of any tools available to him (including guns) is.
Fact is Batman started out using guns. He used both handguns and vehicle mounted firearms in a number of the early issues of detective comics, as well as in his first onscreen appearance in the Batman movie serials. 
 
It wasn't until the Comics Code reared it's ugly head that they had to turn Batman into a goody-two-shoes that wouldn't ever use a gun.
 
Detective Comics #35 from 1940:

Nop

Ugh not this subject again! why is every so obsessed with Batman using guns? You never hear "why does Spider-Man not use guns?" or "Why doesn't Superman build a Kryptonian machine gun?" Batman is not the only hero that has recurring villains, thats every superhero ever invented.

This makes me wonder how our beloved comic characters would've turned out without the Comics Code.

Guns take away the whole idea of Batman. Know, I wouldn't mind seeing a Batman character using guns, but Batman can't, they are a symbol of what took away his parents, and if he uses them, it is just hypocritical.

Nah. It goes against the concept of Batman, it wouldn't make a good story.

Agh.

With an Batman Inc one those batman would likely use a gun.

Only legit use of a gun was VS Darkseid in Final Crisis. That was dope. Batman withnguns though... Nonononononononono.

He would never use guns because: He has more interesting and intelligent ways of getting through his comics.

Like really, don't know if you noticed, but guns don't hurt Superman, and Wonder Woman can block projectiles.

Batman can outsmart a person with a gun, and his punches will probably do more damage to Superman (if he's wearing the kryptonite ring), and he'll charm Diana into giving up, that's how awesome he is. His debut comic book is the company name for hells sake...

Now let's bring up an elseworlds possibility: Bruce, Dick and Tim die, so Jason takes up the role of Batman, and he uses guns, hells yeah.

This, Batman is better than guns, he is the most well trained person in the world, it would be way to cheap for him to use a gun

Batman actually originally used guns or at least the creators were going to do that until they made him a moral code.

Batman with guns would be horrible. There aren't really that many superheroes that use guns. It's lame honestly.

Imagine Batman with a Deadshot-like sniper rifle.

Lame.

That's why I'm glad they never really went with that

He used a gun before

so now he is a rich guy with guns?

not very impressive

"Batman should use guns hurr durr!" I know this thread was created 3 years ago, but my god is it stupid.

Batman can't ever use a gun. A gun was used to kill his parents right in front of him at age 8.

"Batman used guns once upon a time five trillion years ago."

Yes, Batman once used guns and that was at odds with his origins. Batman using guns has always been a bad idea. He was also using guns when he was still a rip off of other comic charcaters.

If Batman's parents were killed by a drunk driver, does that mean he would never drive a car? No.

He doesn't rely on guns because he would rather rely on his own body, it's that simple. This, to me, explains why his vehicles can have guns, and he can have different types of guns for specific purposes. He would be less efficient with guns, and would end up fighting like Todd. Who, while no slouch, is also no Batman.

No.

Why cant people understand that killing its wrong?

Give some one power over other person life, it makes this person to be above.

Batman isnt above things, he understands he doesnt know everything and for the same he cant take this type of decisions.

I'm so late....

but Batman using guns would be lame. The fact that he is so impressive is because he trained so hard and is so smart that he doesn't have to fail back to guns. And then imagine all of the great stories we would have missed out on if he did use them? All of his good villains would be dead. No years long feud with the Joker, Two-Face, Riddler, Penguin, etc., because he would have killed them all.

Then what kind of banter would he and Catwoman have while he's blasting off 45's while she's trying to flirt? just doesn't work for him. He's better without them. I like that he shot Darkseid in FC and I also like when he was aging that he pulled one on some thug because it showed he was still human but I don't want it to be a norm for him.

Only really found this because I've noticed in the Batman v Superman trailer and toys Batman has s rifle and I'm hoping its something with a grappling hook or something and not a real gun.

No thanks.

Gotham Glory: Gargoyles

If we pit the Dark Knight (DC Comics) against Lucifer Morningstar (DC Comics), we might ask questions like "What are the comic art re-orientations of the archangel Michael (from Western mythology)?"

Maybe Batman should carry water-guns for Halloween: "Citizens of Gotham, my water-gun is meant to show you I have no intention to make vigilantism something fearful!"

Lucifer (DC)

@punishtheguilty: Yes and no. Yes because it'd be interesting to see the Batman break his moral code and use guns. No because i don't think he can go back to being the Batman if he did. Using guns would do too much damage to his psyche. He doesn't want to end up being like a common crook.
