Is Batman ever wrong?

[The Game]

Has there ever been an occasion where Batman has done something wrong? Where you disagree with a decision he's made? Is Batman perfect? Just curious to see people's thoughts on this... I can barley think of a time...

Well, in the original comics of the early days, he killed. I'd call that wrong.

Who'd he kill?

For a while, just about every criminal he came across. You should check out some of the old archive volumes they have where they've collected the very first Batman comics. Back then, he'd kill the criminals he fought all the time.

Untrue. He DID kill some of them, but not all. He THREATENED to kill a lot of people, and he killed Dr. Death, Hugo Strange's giants, and that Monk character, but he wasn't some Punisher type.

As for being wrong, Batman is wrong all the time. He gave up his mantle to a former assassin. He abandoned his friends and city when they needed him most. He was addicted to Venom for a while. He's crippled people. Of course he's been wrong.

I didn't mean it literally. I meant it felt like just about everyone he came across - he'd kill, let them get killed, etc.

C'mon. Batman is just a man. A great man, but a man just the same. He has made more than his share of mistakes. Those who claim otherwise generally want to see him as some sort of mortal avatar, and that really doesn't do justice to his character.

I think it's wrong to make little children jump rooftops and have fisticuffs with thugs.

[FLIPMODE]

HA HA Funny, but you know Batman did'nt make ANY of those dumb kids do these things.

But his one weakness is Definitly social skills. Can't have it all I guess.

Batman was wrong when he started stealing from his own company Wayne Enterprises. He secretly got secret government projects that his company was working on.

[Manhunter]

Well, I always thought he was a bit of a bastard after I read and saw Mad Love.

[adoptedBatpuppy]

Everybody makes mistakes, after all his only human. Nobody is perfect, but I do sugust for him to see a Social Worker or/and a Therapist.

[The Green Hornet]

and or a therapist?

he needs a full frontal lobotomy to ever deal with all of his personality problems =)

[Mattashell]

Sorry for going off topic, but hey Rimma, we'd love to see an avatar for you.

[adoptedBatpuppy]

That's nice. What's an avatar ? :)

[Mattashell]

The pictures under our names.

[ZorBrak]

well, yeah of course, he has walked into traps before n' stuff he makes mistakes just as any human does.

Well, wrong is relative. Just because the U.S. law is law, doesn't mean you have to agree with it. That's why congress can change laws after all. So I think that in Batman's case, he can grab a few select items, since he's not giving it to commies or something.

I think it's wrong for him to have 10 side kicks. Sooner or later, it's just going to blow up in his face. Robin 2 and Batgirl 1 are good examples of that.

Well you need a picture that is 75X75 pixels or smaller, to cut a picture to the proper size you can use Photoshop, Paint, or many other programs to edit it. If you can't do that, you can ask someone to make one for you. There are alot of people here good at making them and love doing it, I think Bird Boy does it. No doubt one of these people would be happy to make one for you, just tell them what you want it to look like. Once you have a picture just click on the CONTROL PANEL, then EDIT OPTIONS, and then CHANGE AVITAR. Click the browse button and find the file. Then your avitar will be up. It's not as complicated as it sounds.

Batman is just a man, take him all in all. One of the things that is most appealing is that he's human. He makes mistake, can go overboard sometimes, be so blinded by some personal views, too rough. He's certainly far from perfect, but that's what makes him so intriguing.

wow i wish the JL show writers would wake up and realize that
