That last bit frustrates me to no end in various media. It’s part of why I hate Marvel films. You have these people already dishing out vigilante justice but killing the mass murderer/genocidal maniac is “lowering oneself to their level?” I’m sorry but at that point it’s your duty, lest you’re complicit in their next genocide.
i’ve been reading a webnovel called “Path of the deathless” and it’s very gratifying to have the protagonist go “no i don’t care that ‘you’re the only person who can run this empire’, you obviously need to die lmao, you’re a remorseless slaver and your empire is built on suffering. Now, please take a step to the side so i can pulp you without hurting the innocent people, thank you!”
i think that’s part of the point with batman. at the end of the day hes a damaged dude obsessed with his own moral code no matter what damage it causes to everything around him

I concur.

Ugh.

That does sound very gratifying.
Batman is brutal, and IRL most of his victims would end up with varying amounts of brain damage.
Many of them would die, really, some in the spot even. A single punch in the face is enough to kill.
