Oops, skimmed the article. They're still not sure if the remains are hers.
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, my boss' kids go to school less than a mile from that park (which, by the way, is not on campus but is v. close to the sort of cheap apts. that many students live in) so the school sent a letter home with her kids.
Also, if the killer is somebody living in the park, chances are whoever it is is now elsewhere. (Because the park has been aswarm with law enforcement for over a week.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Semantics question: Batman--vigilante or no?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Batman is a vigilante in that he works outside the justice system (if you stick with the Dark Knight Batman rather than Silver Age Batman).

Depends on the era/canon.
I know some times during the fifties and sixties he was officially deputized. That, of course, negates much of Batman's dark essence and he's been a vigilante ever since Miller's reboot with Year One.

Adam West Batman - no, because he was deputized by Commissioner Gordon. Modern Batman, yes.

Someone (elsewhere) is saying that since he does not dispense punishment, he is not a vigilante. He just delivers bad guys for their judgment and eventual punishment. But I don't want to not call him one. It doesn't seem to fit.

The thing that will answer it is "Would you get in trouble with the law if you tried to make a citizen's arrest using Batman's methods?"

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

What about when he beats the crap out of them? Or maybe that's more Daredevil's style.

Subdued for delivery? But I agree with you--that and the police don't think he's on the up and up are most of my argument. But I haven't read Batman since Cassandra went bad.
