What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh man. Yeah, that sounds awesome. And it's a miniseries! It will begin and end in a reasonable amount of time! Hurrah!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Says someone who never bought Big Numbers #1.

Ha! It's sad because it's true.

Children these days. They don't know the pain...

Of course, there is that New 52 mini series that DC decided not to finish...

I was just reading a UK Yahoo Who Would Win, Batman or Superman? article covering the movies and they say:

Batman is a hardened vigilante who will stop at nothing to do what he thinks is right. But poor Kal-El has been affected by the death of General Zod, perhaps vowing to never kill again.

Is that really what the movies left us with? Who did Nolan's Batman kill that I'm forgetting? I thought that incarnation was no-gun no-kill.

He kind of killed Two-Face, didn't he? Or he took the blame. Because he is the night. I don't remember. But otherwise, yeah, he's as no-gun-no-kill as he should be.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Didn't he also kinda sorta kill Ra's al Ghul? I admit the first film has gone kind of fuzzy on me.

He took the blame for 2Face as a plot point. If a Gotham journalist were writing the article, it would be one thing, but a meta discussion seems way off to call him "stop at nothing". Hasn't he been prominently no gun no kill in main continuities for a while now?

Ra's I need to look up.

Wiki has spoken:

Batman confronts Ra's on the train and escapes just as Gordon uses the Tumbler to destroy the elevated tracks, leaving Ra's to die in the ensuing crash.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

the Tumbler

The internet has forever made me think "that's misspelled!"

Although Batman's Tumbler pre-dates Tumblr.

Ra's, that's the one! I knew there was one guy that he basically killed even though it wasn't directly. I think he even says, "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you."
