    I've gotta say that it was when he revealed Tim's identity as Robin to Spoiler. That sanctimonious gesture always made me boiling hot.

    Not putting Joker down like a rabid dog. Something that Rorschach would do in a heartbeat, because he realized the difference between common crooks and monsters.

    I definitely agree with this, and this is why I don't respect Batman as a hero. Whereas most heroes face their monsters, and defeat them in a final battle, Batman keeps his around to justify his own existence.

    The move with Steph and Tim was rough, but I would say choosing the purple gloves were his worst mistake.

    Not killing the Joker is the biggest flaw of Batman. Most of the other villains have some level of humanity inside them, but the Joker is pure evil, and thousands if not millions of innocents have died because Batman refuses to kill the Joker.

    @black_arrow: Batman has poor deduction skills.

    No, Batman isn't a telepath or omniscient. He is a great detective but If he has no clues and he has a very limited time to find Ra´s, the best thing he can do is revive the Joker.

    Agreed. I do think that Batman would have let him stay dead otherwise.

    But, you know, then there would be no more Batman/Joker comics...

    Besides the fact he decide that using a giant flying rat costume?

    Or that counts too, since all the bad decisions he take are based on that decision.

    Because DC knows we need more of those.

    Seriously speaking though, do we get a lot of Scarecrow/Batman comics? I mean, given their intent is to use fear against civilians/criminals, you'd think he would possibly have been the better choice to challenge Batman. Plus, there have been some brilliant (scientifically speaking,) versions of Scarecrow, meaning he could match Bruce on an intellectual level more often than not.

    Do feel the same way for Superman, Spider-Man etc? Because their enemies are far more dangerous and kill more than Batman's enemies.

    I actually wouldn't mind DC giving Joker a long hiatus - while they start putting characters like Scarecrow in the spotlight.

    @battle_forum_junkie: he's been on hiatus for two years now. I kind of like it that way. Before he could show up at anytime, no different than any other bat villain. Now, his appearances are rare and special and I think that makes his character that much more powerful and great.

    @megahgfan: That's what makes the character powerful. It is not Batman's right to sanctimoniously end someone's life. That would be giving vigilantism a bad name everywhere. This gesture would make Bruce just as bad as the criminals that he is trying to eliminate.

    @anjales: Norman Osborn and Lex Luthor have both shown they can do good. If you don't see the million reasons Captain AMERICA executing anyone would send a bad message you must be dense. Batman/Joker is a completely different case. Superman, Spider-Man, and Cap all have images to uphold. Batman's image is DEPENDENT on him being frightening.

    So Batman should kill people because he's scary anyway?

    The guy is already a psychopath, if he kills the Joker, I'm fairly certain countless others would follow.
