Batman: "I would never take the life of even the most evil of villains" Breaks the neck of a petty thief Snaps the femur of a low level Mafia grunt

Hands the Joker unscathed to the police only for him to escape 10 minutes later

Puts the Joker into an asylum that does nothing to care for its patients' mental health and is trivially easy to escape from despite the fact that, as a well-connected billionaire, he could easily lobby to have it replaced with a more effective facility.

... literally built on a cursed graveyard

You think there haven't been efforts to improve, both by the Wayne family in general and Bruce specifically? Not only does the medium necessitate that things be available to fix constantly, but in-universe there's about ten secret societies, a dozen ancient curses, and probably a demi-god or two whose express purpose seems to be to keep Gotham as miserable as possible.

Real life isn't even as easy as "throw money at it to make it better", much less a universe that is predicated on needing something to fix on a monthly basis or they lose revenue.

Ah, the usual "I saw that scene from Snyder's BatmanVSuperman so I feel I can authoritatively speak to the entire character"

He has gone through probably hundreds of writers at this point, all with their own interpretations. But generally, when they stick to the "I hate killing and guns" type, he's not breaking mooks over his knee Bane style. It's not universal, and some of the writing is just bad. But that doesn't define the character anywhere except the minds of people who just want something to shit on.

I've never seen that movie, but okay. Many apologies.

Ah, so just from complete ignorance, then :)

Just referencing a longstanding meme in line with the OP, bro. I didn't realize not watching a single movie made me completely ignorant, but then I guess that's the ignorance in action. Anyway thanks for the unnecessary condescension over fucking batman :)

Listen, kicking mooks 10 feet into the air and then shooting them with the Bat-tank's anti-tank gun is perfectly safe because he's using rubber rounds!
