If to kill someone saves countless lives in the future, then the bat should kill joker

This is why they should stop the moronic rule of no killing in comics. Even with some characters. It's ridiculus. I mean if you were in a real battle no matter how much training you have, if you fight back you are going to kill someone.

Also on Batman Begins, I thought of the same thing. He doesn't go and chop a murder's head off but he will go and burn down the whole house full of ninjas and kill the very murder he was trying to save by burning down the house.

So yeah... that make sense...

Honestly the no killing thing is a crutch comic writers use so the villain can come back now.

In all honesty whether Batman should kill the Joker is moot as the only reason his still alive is to sell comics and comic related merchandise.Really no one is actually being killed as it all just a fictional story.Plus think about what would happen if Joker was gone people would just asked who's going to be the next Joker or whether they should revive the Joker.

Great stuff. Always loved the end of The Killing Joke, but I don't think he killed him. I mean unless the Joker's neck is like 2 feet long his hand is clearly supposed to be on his shoulder in that pic..though I get that they wanted to try for a bitta ambiguity.

No, Batman is one character who must maintain his no killing rule. I know it sounds unrealistic, but think about what "Batman" represents to Gotham. If he started killing a la Red Hood, that would pervert everything he stands for. I'd agree with someone of much lesser stature killing, but Batman can't do that. He's too big.

Also, Batman does not kill Joker in The Killing Joke. Alan Moore's script confirmed that. But it is a much cooler interpretation.

I'm shocked Batman's murder of KGBeast didn't make the list. That was BRUTAL.

Actually, it's not Raaz or Raysh, it's Rah-Es but I don't think anyone ever pronounces it that way. They usually go with one of the first two.

I agree with Boehner...killing (involuntary manslaughter/manslaughter) are different from "murder". A few, in particular Batman Forever/Begins, are a result of the villain's choices ending in their demise: Batman throws the coins up in the air for Two-Face, who decides, on his own, to over extend himself to catch the coin, or tackling Two-Face to save Gordon's son. Two-Face dies, yes, but Batman doesn't from the same fall. Which means, Batman didn't plan on killing Two-Face, he was desperate to save Gordon's son and Two-Face inadvertently died as a result, again, Two-Face's choice to put himself so near the edge of the floor they were on. Another similar example is Batman '89 with the Joker tied to the stone gargoyle. Batman's intent was simply to keep him from escaping, not to kill him. Not Batman's fault that the gargoyle broke away from it's foundation. In Batman Begins, yes, he blew the sh*t out of the building, but his intent was to create a distraction, one HELL of a distraction, in order to escape. I don't believe his intent was, "I've must NOT kill this criminal and in order to do that, I'm going to kill everyone else!". Not saving Ra's on the train? Again, Ra's put himself in that position and Batman simply chose to save himself. Ra's was more than happy to die WITH Batman if that's what it took, but he wasn't in any big hurry to leave the train before Batman got there. Setting the goon on fire and the dynamite in Batman Returns, however, were a bit much and even made ME question the motives behind that due to his "no killing" policy.

I simply believe that, in the movies anyways, that there are going to be casualties of war, much like in Man of Steel. I fully feel that unless there's intent involved, murder is not the correct term for the deaths that Batman has been a part of. Simply failing to save a villain from the destruction that THEY have caused is NOT Batman killing someone. Now, if he had tied Ra's to a bar in the train in order to ensure that he didn't make it off of it before it crashed...different story.

Anyways, my opinion and like anyone else's, doesn't make it correct, just MY thoughts on it :)

It's Raaz the way it was pronounced in the Nolan movies, no need to debate it because I actually speak Arabic. Ra's Al Ghul is Arabic for "Head of The Demon" and in Arabic it's pronounced Raaz.

What about in Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns where he throws a batarang into Jokers face and he is left to just sit there laughing until he succumbs to brain damage? I thought that was the most brutal.

the arabic pronunciation is '' Raw-Uss''
the hebrew pronunciation is ''Raysh''
both mean the same thing
al Ghul is ''Al Gool''

The name is Arabic and Ra's should mean "head". In standard Arabic, it would be something like Rahss with a rolled R.

You're welcome.

Someone who speaks Arabic told me once that Ghul meant "ogre," not "demon," and I have never been able to read a title with the word "demon" in it the same way again.

For evryone who says superman destroys metropolis, rewatch the movie please. Superman destroys an ihop, a corn silo, a gas station, and part of one building. All other damage is NOT ON PURPOSE. Keep in mind, he has never ACTUALLY thrown a real punch in his life, let alone at a target that can take it, so he has no idea that when he hits something that hard it makes a huge shockwave. The world engine destroys nearly everything, and zod throws superman through a bunch of stuff.

If anyone can find clips of superman intentionally destroying entire buildings or killing people in man of steel, let me know, because i apparently missed all those parts. With superman, your fight scenes are either going to be super lame and nerfed way down so there is no damage, or they will actually do some justice to superman and show how strong he really is.

Give it a fvcking rest.

Oh and where the fvck was everybody else from justice league??? Superman dealt with the problem. Technically speaking batman and the rest of the heroes didnt even show, and LET half of metropolis die.

What about the attempted murder that Batman and Robin BOTH share in? Seriously, "Batman & Robin" almost killed the franchise for good!!
