Batman's Rule List 1. I don't kill 2. I don't use guns 3. I don't cripple (that often)

The guns on the Batmobile is like how the Jedi don’t use blasters but are fine to shoot people down with their starfighters.

I dont think Batman likes having guns in his hands, it probably gives him PTSD to actually hold a gun and pull the trigger (because of his parents obviously)

I feel like the golden age should of been a honorable mention.

Batman always uses guns GRAPPLING GUN

a gun is just like a sword, it neither protects nor kills, it only does what the wielder makes it do so is it good, no. is it bad, no. it all depends on who uses it

The final crisis gun breaking rule was epic because it showed how much it took batman to break his own rule.

The moment Batman pointed a gun in Batman beyond has always stuck with me as one of my favorite moments for the character. I first saw it as a little kid, and even then I felt shocked at seeing him point a gun at someone, that’s just not something Batman does. The bastardizing of Batman’s character in the Snyder films makes me shed a tear every time I revisit that moment

Batman with a gun is when shit gets real

The guns on Batman’s vehicles fire non lethal rounds as stated bye thugs in Batman Arkham knight

the reason batman doesn't use a gun is because he knows his rage takes control of him and if he takes out his rage in hand to hand combat he is less likely to kill someone thats why whenever you see him pick up a gun he snaps it in half so he doesn't have the urge to use it

In the Dark Knight movie continuity, batman had guns on the Batmobile and Batpod not to fire at people, but to destroy obstacles and barriers. You see him use the guns earlier to blast a hole in a pile of rubble, and it's presumed that that's the sort of thing they're there for, not for shooting people with.

Batman: *I dont use guns* Whats your car have on them? Batman: *Uhhhhhh*

What one of my favorite parts is that Batman doesn’t trust people, even the Bat family. He claims to not trust anyone. He also hates guns and doesn’t allow them in Wayne manor. Guess who has a shotgun? Alfred. Batman can’t help but trust Alfred and this is proven by him allowing Alfred to have a shotgun.

4:45 - I guess you could say Darkseid turned Batman into a... TIME-bomb? ... I'll go sit in the corner now.

I thought Batman had guns and weaponry on his vehicles to take down OTHER vehicles. His no gun rule means not using guns on people, but even he can’t deny how helpful they are in taking down armoured and other fighting vehicles.

“Batman, what happened to ‘no guns’?” Batman: This is a gun?!

Batman: "I dont like guns." Frank Castle: *Laughs in Frank Castle* "i DoNt LiKe gUnS"

Batman cant kill humans he's alright with animals and most aliens,

Batman: I don’t use guns Also Batman: Uses a “GRAPPLER GUN”

Batman doesnt use guns He uses lead projectiles fired from metal tubes

--5 times Batman used a gun-- 5 times Batman made guns look cool

Actually the Bat Pod has an explination, its used to destroy obstacles for it to pass certain areas or it can be used to neutralize enemis by shotting for example a wheel of a car being chased

This is all I have been watching lately, gaining random facts about comic books so I can show my knowledge to my friends and family... I regret nothing

5 times batman has mugged and killed a couple in front of their son

In the Arkham Knight, the Batmobile has a Tank Mode BUT... he has never used it to kill anyone. The Batmobile in this game has a Vulcan Minigun, 60mm Cannon, Missiles, non-lethal riot suppressors, EMP, Drone Hacking, and a Power Winch. He only uses the Vulcan Minigun and 60mm Cannon on UMGs.

0:11 Jim Gordon: Am I a joke yo you?

Batman in DKR: These are the weapons of cowards! Also Batman in DKR: Breaks through a wall, grabs a LMG and shoots a mutant gang member to save a kid.

The reason Batman doesn’t like handguns is because a the gun that was used to kill his parents was a handgun

Batman: I don't use gun Zack snider: Frick dat

I would really like that retconned into the canonical history of Batman. He's always had an aversion to guns, he might have even started packing early, but after a near miss that almost claims a thugs life, he changes to rubber bullets and eventually gives them up entirely, finding that most of the things he uses a gun for (hitting targets as opposed to people) he can just throw a batarang with equal accuracy

I always figured that him having guns on his vehicles was one of those thingss where, if he is forced to use his vehicles as a weapon, whatever he's fighting is very likely not going to be killed by them. I.E. every time he's used missiles on giant robots, bases, etc

The gun itself isn't bad, it's just a tool. What makes it bad is the person behind the gun. In the wrongs hands, a gun can be a threat. But this is my opinion.

0:11 *"THE DARKNIGHT RETURNS: PART *2am** KNIGHT"* I just realized

While I agree Batman beyond is the best time Batman used a gun I feel Final crisis is an underrated 2nd pick. It’s a really cool moment that is totally believable. Batman making 1 exception once to save potentially all of the universe is a trade off I feel Batman would agree too.

The only reason he doesn't carry guns is because that if accidentally misuse it, it might kill someone.

Guns are good in the right hands but if Batman was to use a gun you'd think he'd make his own bullets from non lethals to special bullets like maybe a tranquilizer or emp he's batman he could do it somehow

Someones probably said this but.. Im pretty sure the guns on his vehicles (although potentially deadly) are used to destroy terrain or other vehicles.

Honestly my personal favorite is the Batman Beyond version, the animation is so good that you can just tell by the look on his face he's having vietnam flashbacks to that night in the alley, imagining himself in the shooters place, and that absolutely terrifies him

The weapons on the vehicles aren't mean for people necessarily. They're meant for taking out other vehicles, clearing obstructions, breaching, they're less of a weapon and more of a utility

He could just use rubber bullets...

Guns are just objects, weapons nothing more it just depends on how use that weapon So no guns aren’t automatically bad just because they are guns

Something I never really took in about the Beyond Batsuit, yet never forgot: That 10:1 figure on the strength ratio. That means that Batman, in that scene, was trying his level best not to tear those hostage takers heads off as he punched and kicked them in a suit that (despite his age) is still amplifying a Batman punch ×10. Even Terry, as a young man, often didn't seem to punch right to me, every now and again. He throws his whole body into an uppercut that usually doesn't seem like he's trying. Again, holding back as opposed to tearing someone's head off on accident. It actually explains some things in retrospect, like how he would like to fly into people with two fists and rocket feet. Like he's getting desperate,but he doesn't want to kill someone in his desperation, so he throws his whole body at them on rockets because that is *actually* less dangerous for them then him trying to control a suit powered punch in a panic. Also what pissed me off about Return of the Joker, during their fight. It's like, "I know everything Batman knew," essentially a Joker with Batman combat training, and yet he can over power a person ten times stronger than him (just *catches the punch!)*

Makes sense for him to bend the rule a bit for vehicular weapons. Sometimes he’ll be forced to face heavier vehicles/hard targets that simply cannot be defeated otherwise. To put it simply, he couldn’t imagine turning a gun on a human being, but he has slightly less qualms using one to shoot out a truck’s engine or disable a nigh-invulnerable giant robot

If batman ever used a gun as his primary weapon jeez he would be so deadly so he would make plenty of variations

3:13 what about the mutant he shots with a machine gun? or battanks and the rubber bullets ?

You can’t ever call yourself a Batman fan and not have seen Batman brave and the bold

My opinion on why Batman’s vehicles have guns are so they can slow down any other vehicle that he is chasing otherwise he could only barge into them which in comics would do nothing to any type of vehicle except bikes now and again

The Batman Beyond example was my favorite. It really showed his character. Also, the vehicles have weapons mostly for anti vehicle purposes. IMO.

He doesn't kill he just beats the crappi out of you until you wish you were dead

In Arkham knight, the batmobile has a side option in the armory as bullets that just puts people unconscious. He only used the other weapons at the drones which had no one in them.

I think Needlemouse forgot about all the vehicle -ground and airborne- altercations Batman has to go through in which guns on the Batmobile are absolutely imperative. Now you might be thinking, "Why doesn't Batman either run down the vehicles he's chasing or find an alternative way to stop them in their tracks?" But just remember; these are comic books. There is always going to be someone who outclasses Batman in one way or another. Like Bane in the strength department or Riddler in smarts. Vehicles are just another means. Like in The Batman, (which came out way after this.) Chasing Cobblepot would have been leagues more efficient if he had some way of taking his car down from range. But he didn't have this, something he definitely remedied after the fact.. Admittedly, the car chase was absolutely epic, but still. And in the case of Arkham Knight, (which did come out before this.) Batman was being influenced subtly by the Joker knocking around in his psyche to place more and more weapons on the Batmobile and to deck out the car. Joker was still rooted too far into his mind to come out then, but he was still there. And even then, Batman has never killed anybody with the weapons. He only ever uses Riot Supressors in the case of thugs or Militia needing to be taken down or the Vulcan Cannon or Tank-Busting Rounds or Electromagnetic Pulses or Rockets (Jesus fuck Batman.) To take down the drone tanks of the Militia. In the case of normal thugs he usually does just run them down. Though comparing some rusty car to the Batmobile would be the equivalent of comparing a 9mm to an Ion Cannon, or somewhere close. In the case of the Snyderverse, well, Snyder is just an idiot who doesn't know jackshit about Batman. He's diluted himself into thinking he knows better on who Batman would really be like then the *GODDAMN SOURCE MATERIAL* he pulls from do. Now, of course, alternative invisionings of Batmen who do kill are never unwelcome, Flashpoint Batman being the most famous, but it's only when you screw up the fundamental basics of Batman in so many regards that the only thing that even comes close to being accurate is his name in which such adaptations aren't welcome. Flashpoint Batman actually has a reason to kill, Snyder's Batman doesn't. In conclusion: Batman really either has no choice in having guns on his vehicles or needs them in order to be generally more efficient in terms if fighting crime in ways he simply can't alone. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Batman: “I don’t like guns” Fortnite: Hold my beer

The guns on his vehicle never is used on human life. He uses it as a tactical advantage like blowing down walls or machinery... on the Video Arkham Dark Knight Arkham Knight even indicates that the the tanks are remote control. And if he does shoot he's gun at a actually person they are beanbags

"the police and army both use guns when necessary to protect people" *mr blue sky starts to play with scenes of police and military brutality playing in the background... so basically just a comprehensive list of US history*

“These are the weapons of cowards!!!!” Everyone in anyway ever: am I a joke to u?

One thing worth mentioning is that in arkham knight the tanks batman blows up are drones- so they don't have anything inside them. Also, when he shoots the thugs, those are just knockout impact bullets

8:35 "So uncivilized..."

There’s also a time in the dark Knight returns where he shoots that guy and says “I believe you”, which is reprised in BvS

I like to imagine Batman actually 'uses' guns... just as a hobby at a shooting range or on the odd hunting trip with one of the Robin's as a 'family bonding' and the like.

You know what would have been cool say there is a time travelling event and Batman gets set to the night of his parents death and Batman beats Joe Chill which alters history and in order to save histimeline has to shoot his parents in order to save the universes history

Man, he’s used a gun so many times. The grappler gun

i always just assume that batman has guns and other weapons on his batvehicles because, killing aside, theyre still useful for other purposes, pop out a tire, fuck up an armoured vehicle, disable a jets thrusters or wings or something like that, blow through a wall, if you think about it guns have uses besides killing and thats probably why he has weapons like that on his vehicles

I think it comes down to lethality, if he can use a gun without killing or maybe even just hitting in living person he's fine with it, but guns have a tendency to escalate the situation so he's still not going out of his way to use them, only having them on his vehicles as they are far more efficient at crippling an opponents vehicle than any other gadget he could think up... Though now that I think about it that only really became a thing post dark Knight, I mean I only know of Adam West's Tim Burton's batmobiles prior to that, but neither of them had guns that I can remember, though the batplane might have.

I know! Iknow! He doesnt use gun because they shoot his family

Well for the guns in Batman's vehicles I believe that most of them do not have lethal ammo. Such as rubber bullets or bean bags to neutralize the target. Also their mainly used for difficult opponents that he normally can't take down on his own.

honestly this is a top tier channel in general

I think the reason Batman has guns on his vehicles is so he can effectively stop and or fight other vehicles with guns on them. Also it probably helps to have a tank for a car when you need to literally fight a god!

Batman: “These are the weapons of cowards!” Commissioner Gordon: >uses a gun

I love this channel it’s a pleasure to watch any vid Keep it up

You should have mentioned batman: bad blood He almost shoots himself and then shoots a katana out of talias hands

I don't know I do think sometimes the situation call's for it otherwise he just looks stupid, but for Bruce makes sense in a trauma sorta way, but it doesn't always go with the gothic setting, maybe make it a obstacle to get around because he throws things people he teams up with use them and kill. So maybe have him start out that way then ease him into something like that. So maybe if the situation call's for it but not as disrespectful as Zach Snider.

Once I saw the premise of this video, I knew the Batman Beyond episode would be #1

In Dark Knight, while chasing the Joker, Batman's Tumbler Bike does a LOT of shooting and rockets. But only at cars in the way and doors. Sometimes, the fastest tool needed is a gun.

Batman: "I'm done playing Joker" Joker: "Be still my heart"

I think it's more of... "I don't want to use guns to kill" as im fairly sure in every situation when he held one that he didn't fire he most likely would of used it.

I think he just hates guns that have to be held

Person who doesn't like violence uses gun in real life: dang. did you know that he shot someone? batman uses guns: **AAHAHDGAOGJOIFDJGOJOIJOIJ NO YOU VIOLATED THE LAWW**

About the Batmobile, I think he switches to rubber bullets when firing humans and the real bullets are for things like cars or tanks or people that can withstand bullets. Not sure where I heard that from but yeah.

Another time he used a gun was in Batman Bad Blood when he shot Taleya's sword out of her hands

It depends who's holding the guns like gangsters and the mafia.

*Explains gorilla city* Me:SOOOUUUNNNDDDS LIIIKKE WAAAKAAANDAAA

I still find it hilarious that a guy who can wield a green lantern ring permanently stopped work altogether just because he touched a weapon that could kill people.

6:17 I'm sure the fact Batman "jumps the shark" in the final Batman: The Brave & The Bold isn't lost on anyone, either.

6:55 Keke I’m trying to worky

Bring Batman Beyond Back !!!

For his neutral b, he uses g- No, i won't fall that deep

Im assuming the whole gun thing is due to how he lost his parents

Batman:I don't use any gun Me:u use a "grapple gun" Batman:•_• *destroys batman grapple gun*

I think batman shouldn't use a gun simply because he doesn't NEED to. He's skilled enough to fight crime without one, therefore he won't use a gun.

There was a second moment in the dark knight returns where Batman takes a machine gun and shoots a guy holding a girl hostage. In the book, it’s left ambiguous whether or not he killed him

I always figured the guns on vehicles were for utility use or use versus meta humans who could take it. In The Dark Knight Returns he straight up fires machineguns, tank rounds and missles at Superman as well as uses a sonic gun that hurts supermans super hearing.

I Love Your Videos Best Dc KZfaqr Ever

His tank in Arkam night uses rubber bullets

Was glad that the Justice League Unlimited Moment was at least mentioned

Grappling gun: Am I a joke to you?

Make a video on Batwoman's origin

Even Frank Miller knew that Batman dislikes guns… they're clumsy…

To be fair, the reason why the Batmobile is basically a tank in the Batman: Arkham Knight game is because Joker was subconsciously influencing Batman to be more violent, which caused him to add more firepower to the Batmobile. In earlier games, specifically Batman: Arkham Asylum, we can see that the Batmobile doesn't have guns.

Robin, fetch me the bat belt, no the one that goes with the machine gun.
