Thank you. The sheer fact that you've both denied actual events in the comics and the fact that you've chosen to make things up and pretend your imagination is canon simply proves my point.
1) You argue Batman never killed anyone. People point out comics in which he did. Yet you claim that things we've actually seen in the comics never happened.
I freely admit I forgot about those early stories. But their canonicity and value, considering how briefly it was a part of Batman's history, is debatable. Your accusation that I just made stuff up is a straight lie, though not the first or last you've made at/against me in this thread for some reason.
But you seem to think that the rampant super villains in DC are all nice guys right. In fact there are no super villains because Batman's morality has eliminated all evil doing. Right.
Uh I never claimed this?
3) You don't even know who The Shadow is. That's just shameful.
I just said I know who the Shadow is, "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" had a long line of pulp novels and Orson "Citizen Kane" Welles played him on the radio for a time, good character as pulp heroes go. And an oft-imitated one.
4) You think that Batman as a character has never changed from 1939 to 2012.
No I just think some things that are essential to the character. *shrugs* We differ in our opinions on where the elasticity of what defines Batman breaks. I think his moral code and individuality is a strong part of that. But I'm not going to sit here gnashing my teeth or insulting people who disagree with me, Batman joins the many things I don't enjoy the modern incarnations of, but there's already been more stuff written about the Bat-family in the last century than I could hope to read in a single lifetime, so I can always just go wallow in the retro stuff when I feel I need a Batman fix.
Amazing. Simply amazing. I have some magic beans. Would you care to buy them?

So can we end this pointless pissing contest and get back to the topic please?
On that note.
Robin came along because batman was considered too "dark" at time right?
but hey look at the good side at least we got knightwing.
Eh that's kind of a misconception. Bob Chipman explains it better than I could.
