Batman Kills Joker | The Dark Knight Returns

[@S-TRACK67]

In the comics joker’s speech turns dark, like Batman’s thoughts, after he snaps jokers neck so this makes it pretty clear that batman killed joker and is hallucinating the joker talking to him

[@jcore0981]

I also like since the movie obviously can't use bubbles it plays around with the dialogue. "You're in trouble now." "I made you lose control". Lines that make way more sense if they were directed at Bruce himself.

Of all the stories that have attempted to tell the story of Batman and Joker’s final battle, this is the one that truly FEELS like like the final culmination of their epic rivalry. The dialogue, the outcome, the aftermath…THIS is how their story really ends. “See you in hell” is the perfect ending touch. It’s such a simple and overused phrase, but it works so perfectly as the Joker’s last word to Batman, because you know he MEANS it.

[@lewdawg5196]

Because to be fair even though the Joker doesn't have any morals he knows Batman does and like he says he's let a lot of people die by letting the Joker live. As he once said 'even to a guy like me thats cold'

[@ZeroOmega-vg8nq]

Its not all on batman. Its the system itself. Gotham itself was so damn corrupt they easily couldave sentenced joker to death just for the body count alone. Even in one story where batman SAVES joker from execution for a crime he actually didnt commit they couldave ignored batman and the protocol.

[@yeboxxx_channel_2505]

​@@ZeroOmega-vg8nqthere was a common comic lore related to Joker And his Death Penalties. Every time they tried to kill him, he ended up escaping and killing everyone who was part of the trial for his death penalty.

[@sunsetman22]

in comparison, The Batman Who Laughs and his origin feels like overkill. maybe that's the point, since having Joker kill all of Gotham, THEN line up parents and kill them in front of their kids, THEN having Batman snap Joker's neck, thereby getting infected with the Joker toxin, it all feels cartoonishly over the top. here, at least, they get to duke it out mano a mano, with the love tunnel all to themselves, and no world ending multiverse shenanigans ensue.

The reason why he does not kill is because of Trauma. Bruce knows this. He knows that taking a life directly would trigger his trauma and emotional pain. He can perform every skill on the planet, beat every men in there prime, and become a symbol of hope for millions. But this one flaw, is one he could not break even after all these years. And Bruce places so much responsibility towards the actions of the Joker. “All the people ( I ) murdered, but letting you live.” You can hear the frustration in his voice. Bruce dedicated his life into becoming a symbol of hope. Yet this one man, this one monster, challenged everything Bruce stood for. It’s Bruce’s trauma that prevented him from having a deep complex conversation about ending the Joker’s life. A trauma so deep that not even the death of his son, Jason, could force him to kill. This fight pushed Bruce to his limit. He was no longer the same youthful warrior in his past. He was now and old man fighting a ageless monster. Joker would force him to end the fight, the only way he knew how. Putting an end to their rivalry once and for all. What a scene.

[@Justachannel-u9w]

Yeah and it is cannon that this Bruce and the Bruce in Batman year one are the same continuity which dives further into the fact Bruce is a highly traumatised and down right obsessive individual Batman never wanted to kill but understood that one day he would have to. Also with the fact that Batman has mental issues the conversation he had with joker could be his mind trying to justify his first murder

[@BlasphemousMoons]

I've watched this scene an absurd number of time. It always bothered me that a broken neck didn't kill the Joker instantly. But now my theory is that "This is the moment we both dreamed about" and "not quite how I imagined it" are foreshadowing to the fact Batman killed Joker instantly, but with his injuries and given the heat of the moment, he made up the last bit of the conversation in his head. Finally the moment came to end his ultimate rival's life and it should mean something. The first time the Bats takes a human life, it should mean something. But nope, there is just a dead body in front of him, nothing else. So he makes up a reason for it all, the Joker speaks in his head but it's just a corpse convulsing. We only get Batman's understanding of the Joker's motivations here, the only logical answer a reasonable mind could come up with given their past. The truth is, Batman never got the real answer. Maybe it was indeed a way to corrupt him. Maybe it was something deeper. Maybe it was just for fun.

“All the people I’ve murdered by letting you live” Think about that for a moment, think about the lives that Joker took, terrorised and ruined either for his own sick amusement or just to hurt Batman. Think of all the times Batman could’ve stopped him for good but couldn’t because he’s so broken himself that once he starts going he’ll be just as worse. Think of what Joker did to people that Bats cared about, the brutal death of a child by a crowbar, a bullet in the spine of the daughter of one of the few people Batman considers a friend and the attempt to break that friend’s sanity afterwards just to prove a point. Think of the time Batman gave this man a chance and he refused to take it because he knows that he’s too far gone for redemption. Think of the people, guilty or innocent he murdered in order to get Batman’s attention, the people he gunned down during one of his iconic chases, until Batman finally has enough.

@@NeightrixPrime no. Being a vigilante would. It's illegal for a reason, mainly that people taking matters into their own hands isn't something to encourage because where does it end?

[@rebotsomat]

innerFire I read this as it happened

[@t3m_t3m]

@11I00OO1I0O1Il it's a stretch to say Batman doesnt care about others. Batman does have morals--you just don't agree with them. That's because he has values, that you don't and vice versa. Batman will protect as he can, but he isn't willing to sacrifice his virtue of integrity to do so. He doesn't want to become someone who has to kill to get what he wants--he wants to protect people, but he doesnt want to kill to do so. The Joker is always constantly trying to get Batman to make that sacrifice, to sacrifice his virtue and become like the Joker himself: to kill to get what he wants. And all Batman wants is to avoid that. There's already enough killing for pleasure and gain, as Bruce knows first hand from his parents deaths. Why must there be more? You claim it's justice, but as Ghandi said "if we all took an eye for an eye, the world would be blind." All that matters to you are the consequences, all actions done to appease your own desires/values. In this way, you are no different from "egotistical" Batman in his quest to perserve his own values and virtues. All morals are egotistical in this way. You simply decide your values are inherently superior, then condemn batman's. This dogmatism would he something Joker would love to play off and take advantage of, as he usually does with many characters. And also, you can't condemn Batman for not being willing to sacrifice his moral integrity for something else, when you have your own value you'd never sacrifice for. It's a basic axiom: everyone has one value thing theyd never sacrifice. Whether it's a principle, a virtue, a person, a material, or etc. Theres one singular thing more important to an individual than anything else. And that value is usually what all our morals encompass. So I'm willing to bet that you have a value, like batman, that if threatened, youd be willing to make a sacrifice to perserve it.

[@t3m_t3m]

@11I00OO1I0O1Il "it is not a virtue to let people die." Never said it was. I said batman held a value of life, and that the value of life wasnt worth sacrificing for another thing. In this understanding, morality operates on a ranking of values--an heirarchy. If Batman values the concept of not taking life above consequentialism--meaning he takes a moral stance of deontology--then of course he will not kill, and will sacrifice one outcome to protect his value. This is an opportunistic cost. Sacrificing one thing, for something you value more. And he values the moral integrity of not taking life, so it comes first. You cant say you dont have values you wont sacrifice. Everyone does. For example, I imagine you value life. But you'd be willing to sacrifice the value of life for the protection of something more important than it--say someone you love. You'd take a life to protect someone. In this case, you sacrifice the value of life in order to preserve the value that is your love one. In Batman's case, he'd probably let his loved one die in order to protect his moral integrity. In this way, besides the different between your values, how are you any different Batman or the Joker? From anyone? People like you try to tell yourselves you are the better person because youd get the right results. But it's all purely relative and subjective. The results you'd want are different from someone else. You can't condemn batman in an objective manner, and when you try to, all youre saying is that your values are superior--which is just your opinion. Values are all subjective. And youd be willing to sacrifice a less important value for one you think is more important. That is ethics. It's just an expression of desire and emotions--there is no true moral proposition that can be true or false. It's all in your head. And what's in your head can change over time. Batman's values changed, so he was willing to sacrifice for a more important value.
