You guys know what I'm talking about. That militant arm's dealer guy. Batman just let him kill himself.

He did. The general made a choice.

So thats ok then? Batman's cool with that. Why doesn't Batman ever give the Godfather 2 speech about how people use to run a cold bath with a sharp blade? If I didn't report a murder wouldn't that make me as bad?

Looking back at his younger self in JLU: "I can't believe I was ever that soft."

Exactly. He doesn't kill, but the future Batman of the DKR graphic novel was a hell-of-a-lot more hardened. His mission is to save people from others, not themselves.

I actually preferred the Batman in DKR.

After all those years of taking out criminals, there's no way you can be unweary.
