  • Look I know murder isn't always the solution but if it's a character like the Joker who's just going to keep breaking out of jail and killing people, I really don't see why it's unthinkable to try to get them out of the picture for good. At some point it becomes more wrong to not kill them. Batman could've saved hundreds of lives if he'd just snapped the Joker's neck years ago.

    I’m sorry, but that’s not true for Batman, and it’s not true for you. That’s what’s easiest, not what’s right.

    If the Joker is caught and tried by a jury of his peers and given the death penalty, well, that’s the state, the system, deciding that such a punishment is fair and just. Anything else is a unilateral decision, and simply murder–especially if the Joker doesn’t pose an immediate threat to the person in question (such as, say, Batman.)

    9. aaronanother said: I agree on the “Batman/Joker” thing….that said, what if the Joker gets the death penalty and then escapes? Kill him then? That gets interesting (doesn’t work for comics of course—now, if you had Robin try—wait, don’t you work for Marvel?)
