I hope that this doesn't get out of hand, but it seems like such
an interesting question that I can't resist asking. In "The Dark
Knight Returns", we briefly tune into a debate (Point vs. Point -
I love the moderator's hairdo) about the Batman: Is he truly fighting
the forces of crime and evil, or merely a "social fascist" who
gets his kicks out of maiming (possibly) innocent citizens (who
invariably turn out to be guilty)? Well, what do you think?
Personally, I can't help feeling that he is doing right, but
what if he should come after ME? I mean, I know I'm innocent,
and people DO make mistakes... Anyway, I'd like to know what
other people out there think. I'll bet that if we got a group
of non-comics readers to answer the question too, they'd support
him a lot less.
Sorry if this opens a three-month-long discussion that gets cross-
posted to net.legal and ends up arguing the merits of Chuck
Norris versus Bruce Lee.
