That's actually a good question: Why doesn't Bruce/Batman just cripple the Joker? He has a rule against killing, not against leaving villains paralised.

@SetoShadowVT 5 месяцев назад

Especially given he does it his Rogues Galleries thugs but never Joker, Two Face etc. The closest Bruce did this was in the DCAU with Bane only because he knew he would recover quickly because of the Venom

Because it's comic books that's why they need Joker just as much as they need Batman that's why Superman and Spider-Man don't kill their enemies as well it's not rocket science it's very easy to understand

He's gotta pay the bills. The MCU is beyond repair, so there's not as broad an audience. I have also critiqued the video titles over the last year, the titles began to feel AI generated. To Rob's credit; *titles were changed.* However, it is *January.* A content creator earns the least amount of money during this time of year. I can let it slide. There's no way he likes having to play the YT algorithm. (PS: Rob if you read this, I've been following this channel since you were on PKA *years* ago. I will watch a built in ad at the beginning of the video if it pays the bills.)

Kind of gives a better explanation to Batman's whole "no killing" stick, because if Batman kills, Zur would completely take over. Though if this somehow turns out to be Joker became Joker as it was the only way to keep Zur En Arrh in check, somehow... I don't know how I would feel about that.

@HittokiriBattousai17 5 месяцев назад

Hugo Strange says in Arkham City that Batman is as much part of the problem as every other villain he refuses to kill. In fact it might actually be much worse, because the villains enter in contact with him and re-emerge with a new purpose, usually vengeful, endangering ever more people now, so Batman is basically acting as a mutagen, and all because he refuses to take out the trash. His refusal to kill is only making Gotham's crime stronger.

@Nempo13 4 месяца назад

This isn't just a problem for Batman, it is every hero that refuses to kill or depower or permanently injure their foes.

The real villain is plot armor.. if Sups off'd everyone. There'd be no more story. If Bats off the Joker there's no more story... Joker needs Bats just as Bats needs him. Bruce is so shoulder deep in that life. That the thought of stopping would turn him more crazy than he already is...

@Nempo13 4 месяца назад

When you look at it down to it's core, they are more or less the same. Both make use of prep time to devastating, had family die (more than once), have an enemy that knows their identity/their every weakness. Has an enemy they get along with as often as fight against. Both are constantly holding back. The main difference between the two of them is their powers, and the fact Spidey actually THRIVES in chaos and Batman loses effectiveness in chaos he didn't plan. Look at every time Batman loses. It is always when someone throws him off his game and makes things stop going along with his plans.
