I see you’re just going to deliberately leave out the context.
That wasn’t a homeless person, it was a patient at the asylum. Hugo Strange had injected him and 4 others with grown hormone that turned them into mindless, rage filled monsters, and there was no cure. It’s needlessly violent and careless but that is in no way “Batman lynching a homeless man”
I don’t know what it is with people on Lemmy trying to dishonesty reframe the legacy of that character just because he’s wealthy. It’s so petty and pointless.
It should be noted that Batman’s no killing rule is a later addition to the character, so early comics are cheating a bit.
I think it says a lot about the original character concept and his position as a millionaire/billionaire regardless.
Huh, that is very interesting
Also fwiw, by the end of year of writing, the batman writers settled on his “no killing” rule.

1: Guess where 40’s asylums got a lot of their patients. Guess what happened to most of them if they did get released.
2: There was a cure, Batman himself made it in the comic.
3: Do you think being a victim of a medical experiment makes it better?
Nice “real context,” simp.
Holy fuck
Oh, it’s even worse in full context.
Bullshit. The full context makes it significantly better because it reveals that isn’t just some random homeless man.
No, you just suck and think victims and the mentally ill deserve death.
Here’s the full context if anyone wants it:

Jesus christ, it’s a comic book from the 40s.

Do you think morality was invented in 2001?
Do you think that his comment doesn’t portray his values?
I think youre reading too much into a cartoon character and the discussion around it.
I think you’re afflicted with Hugo Strange’s serum.
