	A DC comic suggesting that self-determinism has the potential to overcome genetics? What will those whacky scamps think of next? (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	Of course, they are suggesting that using Batman's son as an example, so I remain unconvinced. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	Lmao at "I'm not supposed to die on my birthday!" Aww Damian you're such an unbalanced cutie. (Reply to this)

	Has Damian ever said he was wrong for killing the Spook (and cutting off his head) in BATMAN & SONS? That whole "sneaking out of the cave to commit murder" bugged me more than his bratty personality. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	Well, in the first or second issue of B&R he said that he promised not to kill anyone--at the very least, even if he thinks they deserve to die, he's more or less kept that promise. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Why does Killer Croc ever get sent to Arkham? He's not actually insane, is he? (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 5 comments) (Show 5 comments)

	Maybe because he's sometimes feral, sometimes rational? (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	no subject twomasks 2011-04-24 02:30 am UTC (link)
	Maybe? I guess it depends on whether he's a crocodile man or a super-strong human with a very bad skin condition and a taste for human flesh. If it's the former, he's sane for his species (probably) if it's the latter then yes, he is potentially legally insane. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	As is often the case with Batman villains, it depends entirely on who's writing the current story. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	You just KNOW Dick suggested it back when he was Robin and Bruce never did it, so when Dick put the cowl on, it was one of his first new gadgets. :D (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	It may just be my monitor, but Joker's skin looks positively blue in that bottom panel of the second posted page. And that, combined with the green hair and dark orange sleeveless top, somehow makes me think of him as Captain Planet's emo cousin: http://cartoongalleries.blogspot.com/2009/07/captain-planet-cartoon-superhero.html (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	I'd assume this being Arkham that cells their are equipped with these as counter escape measures. Or maybe it's usually a knockout gas system that he switched with water. Doesn't seem too much of a stretch either way. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I have to say, I do like Damian's reaction to the filling cells. "Whoa, hold on there, moral dilemma. This is going to take a second. Good or evil, nature or nurture, what do you think guys?" And meanwhile inmates are freaking out and Joker's mentally counting, "3 alligators, 4 alligators...I can do this forever!" (Reply to this)

"You turned away from evil - you didn't embrace the Al Ghul playbook even though it was easier"

Oh ho! Yes Mr Grayson, I'm sure running the League of Assassins 24/7 for (theoretically) the rest of eternity IS just a stroll in the park.

I don't know why, because the Al Ghul's blatantly are evil, but it still strikes me as somewhat tacky to just say so like that. Probably because it's framed in such an either/or way, it comes off as rather self-congratulatory - "you could be evil, or you know, like us! We're pretty great, aren't we Alfred? ;D"

Well yes. Yes you are, but recently I just don't like you and I don't even know why. *stews in bitterness*

	I think it was Dick trying not to be condescending but failing somewhat. Must be hard to end up parenting Damian... look at his role model. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
