rich guy with parental issues takes the law into his own hands, merely because he has the means to do so. in other words, a criminal.

the philosophical implications are rather straight forward. but the cops couldn't do shit. and he had the commisioner on his side. and his fine ass daughter.

Why are ya just rippin' on batman? Superman, hulk, punisher, I name off almost Every DC or Marvel 'good guy' and they can be called vigilante also.

You have to put it in social context though - Batman was living in a city with corrupt politicians, police on the take, and mob bosses that law enforcement were useless against!

Batman doesn't kill people anyways, think of it as citizen's arrest.

who would win in a fight? the punisher or batman? neither one has any superpowers, so i think it would be fair.

Now there's a good matchup. I think it'd probably be Punisher, just because he'd be less concerned about seriously hurting Batman. Then again, short of killing him, Batman would do about anything.

Where they fought would be key. Punisher is all about improvisation and strategy...Batman seems to be more about preparation.

Why, because Superman has powers? He's a pansy, Batman's a fuckin' ninja.

No no, the difference is that Superman has a responsibility. Having that much power - he's obligated to do something about crime. Batman just does it because he's crazy.

superman is a fucking nerd, but at least he has actual powers. all batman has is a utilty belt and a grudge. i can't believe they let him into the JLA.

"When the noise started from the parents’ groups and the sub-committee called us in for questioning—you were the one who laughed… that scary laugh of yours… “Sure we’re criminals,” you said. “We’ve always been criminals. We have to be criminals.” (p. 135)

This is important—Batman does not care about fighting crime (if he did, he probably wouldn’t be calling himself a criminal), he cares only for justice. (His thirst for justice is an internalization and abstraction of the experience of the murder of his parents, memorialized obsessively and conflated in his mind with all injustice [p. 24].) This in itself places him beyond the reach of politics.

I assume that's why they let him into the Justice League. Of course, if everyone else is more concerned with fighting crime than fighting for justice, why are they in the JLA?

did you like that last batman movie? i enjoyed it, and i think christian bale did a good job in that role. thank god they let christopher nolan direct it.

they just added the whole ninja deal recently to make batman more cool (and he still pussed out of the ninja club), which is impossible cause batman is lame (he's a rich guy with a belt).

Superman can fly, reverse time, and deflect bullets....that's way cooler.




that being said, we all know Yoda is cooler than them both

Yes. Bale was perfect as the Dark Knight. And the story was excellent. True to the spirit of the best graphic novels.

Uh, no. Read the comics. The ninja thing isn't new. Read an entry about ninjas in any encyclopedia and then read a Batman comic.

agreed. did you read the one where he got hit with a shotgun and lost a rib? he's like "that's one rib gone. not broken. gone", and then he proceeds to kill the guy anyway. i'd like to see batman do that. even adam west couldn't do that.

Hell yeah! Garth Ennis Punisher is the shite. My ex-ex girlfriend once bought me a Punisher hardback for my birthday. She always gave the best presents.

Then there was the time Punisher shot wolverine in the face with a shotgun, and then ran over him with a steamroller.

Bob
06-06-2006, 10:54 AM
yeah, i haven't read nearly as many punisher comics as i'd like to, but from what i have seen, the garth ennis ones are the best. i like the gritty realistic style better than the spandex and high tech gadgets style.

i read a nick fury comic by garth ennis too (actually it's the only nick fury comic i've ever read so i guess i have no frame of reference) and it ruled. there's a part where he disembowels a guy and chokes him to death with his own intestines.

Yeah - the one where Archie sneaks up on the Chechniyan terrorists and gouges out their eyes with his bowie knife before force-feeding them their own fingers one at a time trying to get information.
