I presume he was looking for whatever neurological triggers cause people to commit acts of violence or some such thing, which would be both useful and a valid area of study... if he wasn't using it to turn ordinary people into mass murderers in order to do so.
If he could go one way, it's conceivable from a comics standpoint that someone could make a machine that quashes violent impulses in people who are more usually susceptable to them. Which in Gotham would make him a LOT of money.
But then he ruined it all by using unwilling people as test subjects. *sigh*
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
