Batman shows cops a clip of the Joker breaking his own neck in 'The Dark Knight Returns,' "Any Questions?"

[@goisles6728]

This may be one of the few times killing the Joker doesn’t end in him “winning”. Sure, Joker’s always wanted to get Batman to kill, but the point of getting him to kill was to corrupt Batman. To make Batman indirectly admit his moral code was wrong. Batman goes on to turn himself in and refuses to leave prison early. He truly accepts the consequences of his actions, which is Batman’s way of saying “what I did was wrong”. His moral code remains intact despite his earlier breach of it by treating what he did as a serious breach. This is the timeline where Batman truly defeats the Joker. He saves both his and Superman’s moral codes and the point Joker was trying to make by getting Batman to kill never got made.

[@ethanhayes7205]

Also, lets be honest, Joker wanted his death to be long and drawn out, looking Bats in the eyes the whole time so he could savor every last moment of "victory." Sudden neck snap when he's not expecting it, especially after the day was saved, is... NOT how he would have envisioned it.

[@RexMK-]

@@ethanhayes7205 Basically in this timeline he died for nothing. And the worst part of all is that in the end Joker will go down history as another maniac whose only goal was just to he an A-Hole. I know joker doesn't care that much for fame unless he wants a lot of people wacth his attrocities, but the main point is, Joker din't even get the satisfaction of going down in blaze of painfull and slow "glory". I mean, what is the worst way a villian can loose? By not only failing but also being forgoten in the end.

Agreed. It even conquers one of Batman's worst fears - that the moment he starts killing, he won't stop. He did, and in fact accepted the consequences of his crime. In all honesty the Gotham PD would likely give him a light sentence, if any, considering he ended the long killing spree of their worst mass murderer. And if they didn't, the people of Gotham would absolutely pressure them to, because Batman is truly their hero now.

[@potaterjim]

There's something absolutely poetic about _how_ it happened too. Joker wanted a long, drawn out, final showdown, to try and break the Bat, and force him to admit he was wrong. Joker deserved a long, painful, drawn out death, _and getting it would have mean he'd won._ If Batman had driven him behind a shed somewhere and tortured him to death, it would have meant that Joker was right: That no one is unbreakable, that the world is dark and painful, and even the most upright, most adamant, are just that one day away from turning into savage animals. If Batman had given in and done everything he'd dreamt about doing to Joker, then The Bat would have been irrevocably stained. He didn't turn Joker in to Arkham all those times because it was "The Law", or to give Joker another chance, he did it because every time he _refused_ to give in to that, he kept his head above water, and beat Joker back a little bit. You can argue whether or not this murder was justified all day long, but the best part about it is that he did it quick, clean, merciful. Joker doesn't get his drawn out fight in the rain, he doesn't get to see Batman scream and strangle him. He barely gets to see anything: Bruce just does his best to come at it from a pure, pragmatic point of view. No pain, just quick, and it's done, and Bruce moves on to accepting the consequences of his actions. In a way, Bruce probably didn't even think of it as killing Joker in order to save Superman. He probably thought more along the lines of "I'm going to sacrifice my ideals and accept jail-time, for superman." Still, bet Dick and Barb are pissed.

makes sense. Batman is supposed to be the "bad guy" of the justice league. the scary one that will cross boundaries the others won't. there was only one boundary he would NEVER cross . . . and his friends would pay the price for that hesitance. Batman was sacrificed so that Superman may be maintained, and that's fine. Batman was a symptom of a crueler world whereas Superman always represented hope for a better one. Batman going against his own code, giving up his secret identity, turning himself in . . . . taking the fall so that Superman wouldn't. it feels right.

[@TheEmpiresStrongest]

It actually really implies how much good of a friend Batman is and how he understands how human Superman is. He’s willing to break his code so that he can maintain his stability you should when goes and visits Batman and offers to break him out it shows how great friends they are.

"He will never hurt you again," Bruce had said, meaning it in the moment. "I liked playing with your friend, though," the Joker slurred. _...What?_ "I think I'll play with him again. You don't mind if I torment other people, do you?" _It's him. HIM. Surely if there was someone who deserved to die..._ "... I'll wait until they have that baby." Bruce felt his fists clench. His resolve hardened. Some vows require amendment. "Children scream in such a way that--" _Burn in hell._ His hands acted of their own accord, every life Joker had taken about to be paid for. In a swift moment, it was done. Joker was-- finally-- gone for good.

The cool thing about this is that unlike superman, Batman can block his emotions and bounce back from a killing without going down a dark path. He has the right to kill a villain more than anyone else

[@erikthomsen4768]

A man that walks the path between justice and vengeance know both very well. But a Boy Scout that has never understood the darkness may slip in it. Batman is a force of nature contained only by the rails of Justice and Vengeance. And yet he can come off as surprisingly cold as you noted.

[@BrettBotTheCryonaut]

"Batman can block his emotions and bounce back from a killing without going down a dark path" - ohhhhh man is that totally wrong. The thing about Batman is that he already IS on a dark path, and if he were to allow himself to give in, he would fall right into the void and never come back, turning into a cold-blooded killer, willing to murder anyone who opposes him in any way, and completely losing touch with his humanity. This is basically what happened in an alternate reality, and that is how we got Owlman; part of the Crime Syndicate of America. In Batman's own words about killing the Joker: "A day doesn't go by that I don't think about subjecting him to every horrendous torture he's dealt out to others, and then... end him. But if I do that, if I allow myself to go down into that place... I'll never come back."

I would LOVE to get an animated mini series set in this world. Seeing Bruce emerge back onto the streets after getting out of prison. Seeing the world where Batman truly defeated the Joker. It'd be a really nice change of pace from all the darkness DC puts out in recent years.

[@danielhaire6677]

A lot of people in these chats think this was just about protecting Clark from the Joker's future plots or preventing him from becoming a monster. It's more than that. Batman could have killed him at any time in the ride. It wasn't until the Joker threatened to go after Clark's child that he acted. People often forget one of Batman's original motivations (now often overlooked since Frank Miller started the ball rolling on writing Batman as a vengeance obsessed psycho) which was that he wanted to save Gotham so that NO OTHER CHILD would be the KID IN THE ALLEY the way Batman had been. And then the Joker threatened to do just that to the child of his best friend.

[@johnathanargow4762]

So it is preventing Joker’s future plots or preventing Clark from becoming a monsters. Any good parents would want to watch the world burn if they lay a hand on his or her precious child

You ever realize that Batman could just walk up to some of his Villians, and then just *crack* they’re dead, they’re fucking Dead. He can kill ANYONE that is Human in the blink of an eye.

[@jj_grabes]

The fact he, while deliberately holding back to avoid killing, can beat trained assassins like Ra’s and superhuman mercenaries like Deathstroke is also a testament to his skill. An unhinged Batman would be pretty freaking scary.

[@martinverner7390]

5:43 that scene is amazing. Good comics will always leave an impression on me.

[@indra_vrtrahan]

Technically i see why batman took the sentence because even jokers soul would keep raging over how batman still placed himself below the law, by going to the prison, that went against everything joker wanted him to do.

[@tonyangelo]

Somewhere in the multiverse, this happened.

[@rexregum6693]

If Batman had taken this path then the entire Injustice storyline would never have happened and many deaths could have been prevented. However, as we see in Injustice none of that matters to Batman. He doesn't really care about innocent people. He cares more about the well being of super criminals. Batman hates Superman for killing his beloved Joker and thus goes to war against him. He puts innocent lives at risk multiple times just so that he can get an opportunity to take down Superman. Batman is the true villain of Injustice.

6:28 Children scream in a way- Shut the hell up

[@darkmask5933]

There's a lot of people who dislike the aftermath of this comic, where Bruce is in prison for killing the Joker. Here's the thing, I don't believe for a moment that multiple people, from Gordan to the DA to Superman himself didn't try to get Bruce a deal, but here's the thing, Bruce would never accept a deal. He would plead guilty and ask the court for a fair sentence. He likely got minimum time, which was the best the courts could do. That was his ultimate win against the Joker, he killed him and then accepted punishment for doing so, he didn't justify it, he didn't let the system be corrupt in his favor (even if it was deserved), he proved the system worked. You can't take a like without consequences. Bruce walked away from this uncorrupted, which is a much better middle finger to the Joker than any resolution where Batman walked away scotfree.

[@AegisAuras]

Notice at 6:38 how he slams Jokers head into the glass. Generally speaking the windows on the batmobile are bullet proof. The amount of force he would have had to put into Jokers head to create a crack like that in the glass is quite a lot. He was clearly frustrated and had enough of Jokers shit.

What I notice is that even in Superman's dream, Batman kills the Joker and then IMMEDIATELY unmasks and takes full responsibility. In this universe, Superman killed the Joker but did NOT take responsibility.

[@wesleygriffiths8748]

I mean, he did; he revealed himself to the world in that press conference and admitted he killed the Joker.

[@vicentedillon4885]

I love how fast he does it. Goes to show that he could do so with no problem if not for his code.

[@Sioux-periorGaming]

Clark and Bruce are brothers. You take one out or even try to for that matter and you've got the absolute full might of the other coming after you. Basically at the end of the day, the Joker decided to mess with Bruce's family (Clark, Lois and their child) and that drew the line. Bruce doesn't want to lose any more family. Never again. This wasn't about vengeance or Bruce losing to the Joker, it was about Bruce finally ending the trauma had plagued him for years. Letting the killer go repeatedly while innocent people die time and time again when Bruce knew full well how to end that altercation. The Joker can't be rehabilitated, he can only be put down.

[@JnEricsonx]

Sometimes you have to kill the monster. Of course, this was a dream, so. But still, there's a few guys over in Marvel who would have happily taken him out. Logan, Deadpool, Punisher, shit, Ghost Rider would have seen if Penance Stare would do anything, Moon Knight. Luke Cage would have just destroyed half the bones in his body then dropped him off at the hospital.

[@GreatATheOne]

I kinda love how batman pretty much was like "I'm sick of this shit" and gave joker the most unfulfilled death he's had in comics. Joker wanted to corrupt and traumatise batman with a long drawn out death however he got the complete opposite, a quick neck snap, unexpected and didn't get to give his traumatising last words. In all seriousness, the joker failed

[@threatprince]

batman is through with jokers shit

[@thesatelliteslickers907]

It seems really meaningful that whole joker is doing his usual thing. Goading on batman and talking about their dynamic and how fun their game of cat and mouse is. Batman is just thinking it over. He knew what he was going to do the moment they got into the car. They just had to prepare themself to cross that line in the sand

[@obamahostile4073]

Batman’s moral “no killing” policy is so flawed. It should be reserved only for like low level rando cannon fodder street henchmen. Not S tier level psychopaths like joker with thousands of innocent lives on his hands who will never stop

[@Jack-lo5me]

I like to think that Batman was so silent not because he knew what was going to happen, but because he wanted to give Joker, one more time, the benefit of the doubt. Was this a one time thing? Or will other people Bruce cares about have to get hurt, get killed? The moment the Joker began talking about “playing” with Superman, his dice were cast. It just took a few moments for Batman to read the faces. Snake eyes.

[@bdhhsgbyddhggg]
