Hey guys, I thought I might join up here to express an opinion of mine, and see if you can change it (because I own the movie adaptation of TDKR, and I'd like to like it again).
My problem with TDKR comes from this part:
It seems bizarre to me that Batman would say such a thing, when Jim Gordon uses guns.
Hell, Batman uses guns in this story, and I'm not talking about the riot supressor on the Batmobile or the line-launcher rifle.
It's not exactly helped by the fact that police officers and soldiers, who certainly aren't cowards, use guns.
So what's going on here? I know that in this scene, Batman is taking charge of the Sons of Batman, but wouldn't saying that guns are used by the enemy lead to them attacking police officers and innocent citizens with guns?
Anyway, feel free to convince me that this line isn't problematic, I'd actually appreciate that. The more Batman stories I can enjoy, the better.
