You Are Batman...what do you do differently?

If I was Batman, I knew all his stuff, but kept MY personality: I would not play nice with psychopaths. And I would also use lethal force. Guns, rocket launchers, you name it. The joker would be first to go.

People would be more afraid of my Batman than the Dark Knight. The comic books would end and there would be no more Bat comics to sell, because I would take down all the villains lethally since I know they are going to escape prison like it's a vacation camp. The city would be free of super villains for a while and then I would retire.

How about you?

Oh one more thing...I would definitely date and possible marry Wonder Woman or some other metahuman...no problem there.

For what it's worth, Batman don't act like any normal man would. Not at all, he acts less human than superman.

I wouldn't fire my sidekicks or leave my teams when I felt they were ready to start on their own. Also I wouldn't do the Christian Bale growl because that makes my thrpoat hurt. I think I would have killed Joker by now and i wouldn't have punched a horse in the face.

Take out all the metas. Good and Bad. Let's be honest... the amount of destruction they cause during their battles, and lives they ruin because of it?

All of them... got to go.

Don't you guys think Batman don't act normal? Common sense should tell him to take the lethal approach. What it is money...if Bats did that there be no more comic books to sell. Now if it were a novel it could be different.

Novels end, comic books never do. That is why villains and heroes die and are ressurrected all the time.

I would use my cash/political/technological power to advocate a grass-roots reformation in the Gotham criminal and justice departments, weed out all the lazy and corrupt cops and lawyers and provide better training and resources also I would instigate a major overhaul in Black Gate prison, providing better equipment and training of the guards and turn it in to an all-round more secure faculty. Arkham Asylum would be torn down and a vastly superior Wayne Institute For the Criminally Insane would be built and it would be run by Americas most prominent psychologists and psychiatrist because of the phenomena that Gotham produces the most insane pepole in the world. I would then go on to start various non-profit and charitable organisations to help raise the lower economical areas of the city by providing jobs, social help, youth clubs ect

"Don't you guys think Batman don't act normal? Common sense should tell him to take the lethal approach. "

By virtue of this statement, do you then think that police officers that arrest a serial killer should just kill them on sight?

Bats is no cop. Besides everyone know these guys always ESCAPE in the comics. So he has every reason to.

I disagree. For one, he apprehends and arrests like an officer. He's not a police officer, no, but he tries to follow the same procedural rules in terms of gathering evidence when possible and defeating, not killing. He also has a moral issue with killing. A cop is not allowed to be judge, jury, and executioner. We are a nation of laws, after all. Due process applies to all.

And, saying the comic route--that would make him break the 4th wall. These people tend to escape, and he puts them back in. If he kills, he's no different. If he kills, he's not a better man. He's just the punisher in a fancy get-up. You're ignoring the morality of the character entirely. In this logic, every hero should just kill the badguys. Like... 'hey, you know what, guys... screw arresting bad guys... let's just murder all of them.'

I don't ever see that happening.

I'd team up with Joker and take over the world. We'd be best friends.

I'd have killed the Joker. I might have considered joining with Talia, as long as I could use the League of Assassins my way - in other words, no killing civilians.

I would do what everyone else just agreed upon, but i'm SuperBATMAN!

Well in that case, you must spoke the words of our Creed.

Next. we shall brand your left ring finger and you must perform a leap of faith over a bale of hay so you may become a full-fledged member of our Order.

I'd invest half my money into becoming Iron Man, make a version of the Insider Suit that draws out less powerful (who cares if it's only 20% as strong as the original, that's still pretty freaking powerful), and use that rather than whatever crappy suits he's using already.

Honestly, after inventing the Insider Suit he never thought "Hey, I could actually clean up the streets and not put myself and everyone in danger with a better version of this"?

Then I'd come out in the open like Tony Stark, because who's gonna stop me!? I got an Insider Suit!?

Then I'd grow a set of balls and start putting real punishments on criminals. I wouldn't even kill them, I'd do the following:

  • Bane: Break his back, eye for an eye. Lets see how he likes it.
  • Joker: Break his jaw, and blow off his legs or something. Make it so he can't really do anything ever again. Then put him in prison.
  • Harley Quinn: Seduce her, because she's super hot and I don't care if it's not justice, I'd want that on reserve to hit (metaphorically, not literally)
  • Solomon Grundy: Put him in a steel/concrete prison buried 200 feet below ground. If I kill him he's just going to come back, so I might as well incapacitate him for forever. Lets see him come back from that.
  • Deathstroke: Kill him. I know I said I wouldn't, but that guy needs to be killed, no remorse.
  • Ra's al Ghul: Breaks his arms and legs in a matter to ruin all chances he'll ever pick up a weapon or fight someone again. Then, forcibly change his name to Jeff so I don't have to remember how to spell his name everytime I wanna talk about him!
  • Lex Luthor: Research his criminal activities, get a ton of evidence, make him spend a fortune going to court against a whole bunch of activists, victims, etc. And then when he's finally spent enough money, buy out his company, fire him, and leave his ass pennyless.
  • Killer Croc: I'd do nothing, at this point I'm pretty sure he'll just job to cannon fodder anyway, the guy is harmless.
  • Clayface: See Solomon Grundy
  • Zsazz: Disarm him, and throw him in a room with six grizzly bears. If he survives, I'll even let him go, if he doesn't, well......justice served I guess.
  • Jason Todd: Not a bad guy, I know, but I'd slap him around and tell him to stop being a d!ck

I'd still have a general "no killing" policy, but someone like the Joker would have been executed already. I can understand Batman's not wanting to cross that line in fears that it becomes to easy or something, but looking at what some of the members of his rouge's gallery have done, there really can't be so much of this huge moral debate here. Batman is very honorable in not wanting to kill, I totally respect that, but to allow such criminals to continually do what they do is...well, kinda selfish if only in defense of a personal moral code.

I would just go for high-end feats so fanboys all over the world will to better in their arguments.
