Batman: The Story You Never Knew | Treesicle 

Batman dosen't kill villains for many reasons. 1. He believes that villains can be rehabilitated. 2. He would be as bad as the criminals he fight. 3. If he kills someone, Gotham will return him something worse. 4. It would be a mockery to his parents. 5. He has to show his allies and Gotham that they are better than criminals. 6. His allies including the GCPD would abandon him and other younger heroes would start to kill too. 7. Because he has morals and rules. 8. Because the law decides someone's fate, he just brings them in. 9. Because criminals can continue living with the fear of Batman and maybe stop with crime altogether. 10. Because he's Batman.

"If you kill a killer, the number of killers in the world stay the same" -Batman

The most recent episode of Gotham more or less supports this Treesicle, especially this line, where Bruce confronts the guy who killed his parents "I wish you were a monster, but you're just a man" He ultimately accepts that the man who killed his parents, is nothing more than a result of a constant cycle of violence and crime and Gotham. So he accepts the challenge of trying to fix it, even if he doesn't know how yet.

Joe Chill has Noe Chill.

Holy cow that was deep

if you kill a killer the number of killers in the world stays the same -Bale but if you kill alot then the number goes down , like a bunch -Affleck

_"My brain's not the nicest place to be."_ *-Batman (Justice League Unlimited)*

Batman won't kill because if he kills a murderer, there will be the same number of muerderers in the world after he kills him. Batman won't kill because he still believes in justice. Batman won't kill because he won't be like the man who killed his parents. He won't kill because it would be too easy. He won't kill because, if he does, then what? another and another and another and he'll become what he started fighting against.

Why would someone even think batman is emotionless?

all that for,he is a softy (:

Why Batman doesn't kill? Because he's Batman.

0:04 Vigil-auntie.

there should be a movie based on this story

Look. Batman can't be driven crazy because he's already crazy.

"If you kill a killer , the number of killers in the world remains the same" -batman

Batman has lost control before. In one of my favorite Batman stories "The Cult", Bruce is under hallucinogenics by a fake religious organization that murders criminals within Gotham. He tries murdering Two Face with a gun, and has no idea why he's doing it. Robin has to save him, before he finally sees the truth. They then get their revenge on the blood bathing, cult leader that imprisoned Batman. Read it

Treesicle Could you do Treesicle the story you never knew

Batman = The Definition of Insanity He keeps fighting criminals over and over again. It's an infinite loop. I wonder if he believes things will get better.

Joe chill didn't need to kill Bruce's parents.

In the Arkham series Batman leaves everyone of his "victims" with a resting heart rate of about thirty beats per minute. This is suggestive of complete heart block. How he achieves this with brute force alone, I'm not sure, but it's extremely clever nonetheless. Every single one of these thugs for hire must then go for Permanent Pacemaker insertion almost immediately after their encounter with Batman, or at least get a temporary pacing wire to tide them over until they are stable enough to have a PPM fitted. Now they face a life choice. Give up the life of crime (or at least violent crime) in favour of a desk job as their cardiologist advises, or, do they go through a bit of cardiac rehab and go back to what they know best. Three weeks down the line. Batman encounters them again. A lot of these guys run around with no top on, so Batman immediately recognises this is one of his Trophies that required cardiac pacing. He looks round further and realises he's facing off with about 40 criminals and at least 25 clearly have a pacemaker bulging out of their skin. Time to even the odds! BAM! Batman whips out his latest Batgadget - a specialised EMP device that specifically neutralises cardiac pacmakers - he was spot on, 25 guys hit the ground like meat sacks. He throws a few fists and adds 15 more shitheads to the 30bpm club, all needing PPM. It's actually kinda genius because Batman knows that the Joker, Penguin, Two Face or whichever supervillain is hiring, isn't going to take details about pre-existing medical conditions before taking them on, so none of them can figure out the connection that allows Batman to be able to immediately eliminate steadily rising proportions of thugs in each stand off. A third-party observer, let's say: The Riddler, probably would discover what Batman is up to but he probably wouldn't give it away because he flies solo in the Arkham series, and doesn't really ally with any of the other supervillains. He might even use it as an opportunity to hire his own non-PPM thugs, develop his own EMP-PPM-disabling devices and take control of Gotham's criminal underworld for himself.

if batman killed every criminal, the story would be over before it started, so he doesn't kill

watching this video made me hate Batman v superman more

The real question is how many god damn times does joker need to be thrown in jail or any villain for that matter to be put on death row

From 14:31 onwards, I started getting chills. The music went so well with your analysis.

"Batman: The story you never knew." Try me bro.

This is the first treesicle vid I ever watched and I still love it as well as this channel

wow..the only perfect and thorough explanation I've seen so far.

Please do "Crash Bandicoot: The Story You Never Knew"

Batman doesn't kill because he obviously have read Weber and Montesquieu. Only the state can commint legitimate violence and can take your life (like physically in prison). He knows very well that he is not the state. He doesn't like them very much, but he understands the importance of isntitutions. He is a real capitalist and I love it.

Damn dude. That was deep. I loved it. You've earned a subscribe

0:04: *Grant describes Batman as "mysterious"* *Grant proceeds to refer to him by his secret identity* Yep. Very mysterious.

The Joker: The Story you Never Knew? Eh?

Makes you think, doesn't it?

I can’t stress how amazing this video actually is

THIS WAS GREAT! I've been obsessed with batman ever since playing arkham city!

brilliant video man keep on putting videos like these out I'm subscribing to you're channel

Guys i'm not Batman, this guy clearly has issues!

my personal head canon for why batman does what he does is when like, you were a kid, and you'd wake up from a bad dream but then when you would go back to sleep, you'd try to dream about yourself beating the monster or whatever. maybe that was just me, but I always saw it as batman taking on people like the guy who killed his parents, except this time he can fight back. he's not just some helpless kid anymore, he's the batman.

good job I guess telling something that was thrown in our face from every batman thing or movie

The philosophy behind Batmans only rule is sound, but it's not practical. Leaving the few to live in order to kill hundreds or thousands of innocent people isn't fair. In order to significantly reduce the amount of killing, the only way to stop these villains is to kill them. Kill the few to save the many. This is why I absolutely love The Punisher, even though he's not in the same universe as Batman, because he takes it upon himself to eliminate the few in order to save the many. That's a true hero in my book. One who choose to sacrifice his own honor in order to preserve the innocent.

"His father doubted his manhood, even if he was still a boy" i never thought about that! XD kinda hilarious actually.

Very interesting and well done. Also, that end killed me! XD

this video is the reason why I love Batman

I don't remember that Arkham city mission at all XD and I completely beat the game

Oh man that was so awesome!!! Great video !

Oh my god this still holds up with Arkham knight so well it's insane

dude hell yah, that puts it in perfect perspective. and i lost it when you said but and flashsd the butt haha

I think everyone knows about batman.

you guys really deserve more credit and subscribers!!!

Very well stated. I had only figured out about half of that. Thanks!

Can you do Max Payne the story you never knew?

Do Treesicle: The Story You Never Knew

This...was way better than I thought it was going to be. Me gusta. Well done.

Love these videos man!

This still doesn't explain why Batman doesn't just build an satelite prison in outer space to which he can send villains such as Joker to reside in. That way the Joker can never escape and do harm again, and Batman doesn't have to kill him.

ComBAT! ANYONE?!! Ok then bye.

What a great episode! Good job people, I'm subbing for sure

That was a really good break down of how mentally sound Batman is. I never looked at it that way...his reasoning against killing.

Treesicle Hi. ... Since you seem to also branch off beyond only video games as long as there is a link to video games. Could you do a "Red vs Blue": The Story You Never Knew?

to go along with what you're saying at the end of the video....Batman probably figures....hey I didn't go crazy after seeing my parents murdered before my eyes, so these guys don't have to either. he probably figures with help and deep reflection these demented people could change for the better.

That was such an awesome story!!! Thanks dude!!!

man.. congratulations.. this video was awesome.. truly deep into the mind of baan and with ideas well sopported. Funny at the same time with great edition. Five stars video.

ok-ok!! I subscribed!! ( please don't kill me )

Joe Chill Got "No Chill" He? he? He? Ill escort myself out/....

this helped me understand evrrything with batman and myself in a way

good job explaining the things that was thrown in viewers faces through every batman game or movie. I was hoping to here something about an untold story of him linking to someone not he doesn't kill because he doesn't want to

No offense but i don't like the way you pronounced vigilante

This video is really well made It remind

Wow.. I finally found the answer I'm seeking. I wonder why all this time I really liked the Batman. Whether was it because of just the fact that he is a human who is peaked and can perform things which require a SUPER-human. But the psychosis of Batman, really shed to light how does he manage to do everything, even if stacked against odds. Thanks Treesicle

So THAT'S why Batman doesn't kill

i still cant believe the story to i am bread... u uploaded that a month ago and i still cant understand how u came up with a story for a piece of ****ing bread

Mindblowing! It really open my eyes for this perspectiv

good job man this is the best thing ever!

After all this he kills in batman v superman and if you say that's a spoiler its in the trailer

FãrǾùK Etérnãl GǾd² Big Bowss TheManWhoHasEverything portucito7 This is why Batman doesn't kill people!

I already knew that, but I'm happy one of you put it to an end.

That was awesome, best point for not killing I've ever heard

that's what I dislike about batman. He doesn't kill those who deserve death 😒😒

And then came along Ben Affleck

Hilarious AND philosophical... Great video!

Good research, good conclusion, great touches of humour

2:16 I GOT A STORY! It is simple if he kills he is no better than the villains he puts away! YEAH BITCH STORIES OH!

batman told me to subscribe. so i unsubscribed and subscribed again.

I'm going to be honest, that third body bag jump scared me

amazing work man, great video, comedy and mind power! kinda like batman.

Marvel Is Better *grabs popcorn*

In BvS he kills! BvS sucked! Like if you agree!!

This deserves a like, you're literally the first channel i know that talks about Batman being a hero and not that he's actually insane, or that he's the real villain because he gets the criminals locked up in low security prisons. Wanna talk evil? how about the judge who lets Joker live on account of insanity? or why does no one ask if other people should just off the creep? because Batman's story should teach you to be better than that.

That was all way, way more deep than I expected and very well researched, thought out and presented. Good Job.

You've opened my eyes to the Batman with this video and have earned.... ANOTHER SHRUBBERY!! I mean subscriber

Dude I love the Arkham song it just super cool and it always get stuck in my head I love it

Well this almost 16 Minutes teached me more about moral, good & evil and about that stuff than all the lessons in Ethics back in School. And now I know better why Batman is my one and only favorite Supermotherofgodholyhero!!!!

Wow this is realy philosophical and interesting! Awesome video!!!

this channel deserves way more subs

That was so awesome man

wow that was cool to know because i never thought about batman that way i just loved those comics and games i never thought like that

That was an awesome theory! I think you nailed it with your psychological analysis.

Joe chill, more like no chill...

The line from Batman: Under The Red Hood. He tells Red Hood Robin about not killing Joker because he couldn't come back from it.

If you work hard enough you could be mind developed just like batman! Imagine being able to stare a barrel down, and not even flinch after you hear the "Click" of the trigger. “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” ― Nelson Mandela .Amazing video by the way!
