      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!

      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.

            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 :)
