Finally! An explanation that makes sense! 😆

"Look, Alfred, I'm contracted for another comic series, so we had to CGI it out."

Talk about keeping your enemies closer.

Seems legit

Yeah, but he got better and he's awesome now. Shame he had to die first for it though. Poor Jaybird...

I might not agree with Miller on a lot of things, but it's nice to see he has _some_ standards...

That's one of the reasons I love Brat Pack, dark and brutal as it is. The whole thing starts with a radio show jokingly having a vote as to whether the teenage sidekicks of the city's superheroes should die... only for the main villain to reveal he started the vote, murdering the teenagers and holding the whole city in some ways accountable for it. It's a great read if you want something unflinchingly and brutally dark

It's something I'm conflicted over myself. Like at the time Jason Todd was really unpopular in the fandom but a minority of writers and fans really liked Jason Todd from all I've picked up on it. The idea of throwing out the story to a bit of democracy was fair enough as I see it. You have a very contentious point and compared to things like: "Lets reboot the entire setting so we can do things like make Starfire a Sexual Goldfish" and all... well I appreciate they cared enough to actually ask before just ham fisting it. But it also had a problem of the fact that the poll got more popular than the comics at the time. With a lot of people thinking it was a poll to kill Dick Grayson, Age 12, not even knowing who Jason Todd actually was because Jason Todd never entered mainstream pop culture, or why anyone would want him gone. Though some things in the eventual fallout of the event that were checkered. It came out with probably my favorite Robin after all, Tim Drake. But it also started the point of The Joker going all the way Murdering Psychopath Without Jokes sort of stuff...

@@vaggos2003 i want to argue in that 'sometimes ends justifies the means" but i have no counter point that doesn't make sound like fascist so let meet halfway: lenience should be offered, not the kangaroo court of public opinion. Judge the case with hindsight by those who truly understand the subject and see if it ultimately did more harm than good, if it does, let the man go.

​​@MasterCode86 But how do we determine who truly understands the subject? 🤔

​@adamdavis1648 Unfortunately, that'll never happen.

That was in 1991, so there might have been worse in his eyes since.

In fairness, I don't think Frank Miller ever made any writing decisions by phone poll.

He's out of line, but hes right

So, its kind of like in the 1989 Batman movie when Bruce challenges the Joker and his goons to a fight within Vicky Vale's apartment?

@@MattEldritchHorror Not really like that, Bruce wanted the Joker to think he was dead so wouldn't see him or a romantic rival for Vicki's affections; and he had that metal tray that was somehow strong enough to stop a bullet tucked in his clothes.

@@DoctorPretorious616 I mean, it's a little bit of a stretch, at that close a range, but it wasn't a particularly powerful gun, and it only fired .22 caliber rounds, so I can let it slide.

@@BigAmericanGirlFan THIS. THIS SO MUCH.👏

@@alimowla3204 I enjoy Batman Beyond and the DCAU as a whole, but it's treatment of Batman's end of the road leaves a lot to be desired. He becomes so cynical and jaded that he effectively pushed all his allies away and was living as a grouchy old man until Terry came along. Now I do like Terry McGinnis as a character and the mentor-apprentice dynamic he shared with Bruce, it's just getting to that point that I had a problem with. And then they revealed that Terry was Bruce's biological son and as such was always destined to be the next Batman (screw Dick I guess) and I guess that Amanda Waller counted on Terry and Bruce having a chance encounter in the future. Boy that would have been awkward on Amanda's part if that never happened. Also, speaking of screw Dick, there was that whole relationship between Bruce and Barbara which... yeah... At least the Ace stuff was good...

This story didn't ruin Batman you can blame the editors or writers who don't get batman

@@Obscure_man31 I get the point, but there´s always bad editors and writers who don´t get a character. This story, regardless of the quality, is the inflection point that shifted Batman from a heroic dark detective to a paranoic paramilitary violent vigilante

@@comithologia I mean, to me, the real Batman will always be the former - the Heroic Dark Detective - no matter what BS Writers try and have tried to pull. Batman is my favorite Superhero of all time. But that's just the Point: My favorite SuperHERO. Batman as a paranoid paramilitary violent Vigilante, as you called it, worked for me in ONE Story: Infinite Crisis and the lead-up to it. Mostly because 1., we got some actually justifiable Reasons for him being paranoid and 2., the entire Point of his Arc in this was realizing he had gone too far, admitting that he had gone too far and had been wrong both to himself and others and resolving to do better in the Future (even if Future Writers screwed the pooch on that one). The Batman who trusts those he considers Friends and Family. The Batman who honestly calls Clark Kent/Superman his best Friend. The Batman who confronts Problems and solves them through legitimate cleverness and resourcefulness, not just because he's DA BEST EBAR!!! The Batman who is both capable and willing to work with his fellow Heroes. The Batman who, when confronted with a dying psychic Girl that threatens to destroy the World in her death throes, sits down next to her to soothe her mind and keep her company until the end. And the Batman who tries all in his Power, both in Costume and as Bruce Wayne, to genuinely make the World a better place in both big and small ways, even while risking his very life, soul and sanity. THAT is what Batman will always be to me. Dumbass Writers and Editors and moronic Stories exalting Violence, Edgyness and the ABHORRENT concept of the "Bat-God" be damned.

@@alexandersturnn4530 Heck yeah, you´re absolutely right but unfortunately I feel that whe got less and less of that Batman as the time passed. Altough I actively don´t know, I stopped reading most comics when the New 52 happened, I came back to some for the 1st year of Rebirth but I dropped again

I think the idea is that most of those villains had something resembling humanity, like their goals are oriented on money, protecting loved ones or saving the environment, while the Mutant Leader is just an asshole who kills for no real reason.

​@@kingofthegundam7974 The Syntax is ambiguous as to what exactly he's referring to, but, under your interpretation...The Joker (who...y'know...IS in this comic) is absolutely that kind of jackass, which is most of why I interpret it in the literal "we never fought the main characters of Universal Horror Movies" way. The former interpretation at least sets an idea that maybe Frank's Batman actually never DID fight those villains, as odd as that is.

It actually does make a bit of sense. When it’s hot out people are more likely to be outside and active. Meaning young people are more likely to be outside getting into trouble, criminals are more likely to burglarize homes because they’re more likely to be empty, and people are more likely to be mugged or robbed because more people are outside providing more opportunity for victims of muggings to muggers.
