Our generation would have at least done something creative, like smear shit all over a bathroom stall, or leave scorch marks on the ceiling from deodorant flamethrowers, or scratch up a window with the teacher’s quartz crystal… Kids today don’t have the same spirit.

Not so much when they did that to airplanes.

is it Batman’s responsibility to decide who lives and dies

I’ve had a profound realization while playing Ghost of Tsushima. If adherence to a self-imposed moral code causes unnecessary suffering and death that could’ve been preventable otherwise, then it’s part of the problem. Batman is not stupid, he has to know that the most significant villains will escape Arkham and go back to crime and terrorism. He has the means to stop that and is consciously choosing not to. Deliberate inaction is a choice all the same. Removing those elements might not be civilized, but Gotham is frequently closer to a warzone than a civilization.

• generational wealth
• enough money, highly qualified personnel, and connections (both legitimate and clandestine) to bring real change to a blighted city
• does none of the sort
• dresses up as fursona to play vigilante
• brutalizes mentally ill people (but it’s okay because he doesn’t kill)
• crime lords and terrorists walk free because of notoriously terrible corrections system and no-kill policy
• literally resurrects a dead terrorist in Arkham City
• main appeal is cool gadgets made by other, more qualified people

Batman’s appeal is fading rapidly.

True, but hear me out…
