dc extended universe - Batman breaking his own rule against killing



Why has Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman shown brazen killings by Batman?


It might have been okay if the killings were not direct, but he shoots and blasts off individuals by directly targeting them in the movie.


Does it depend on the personal choice of the artist or Batman has no such rules or does he have a different set of rules that I didn't understood correctly?


I mean if the DCEU is involved, shouldn't the character be more sticked to the DC comics version of Batman?



Answer



It certainly depends on the version of Batman or indirectly the artist(comics/script writer).



In-fact Batman did kill, and it's all part of the comics too. But again, Batman choosing a gun is paradoxical, as you might have looked at that



nightmare dream sequence during which the pearls of necklace of his mother, Martha Wayne, are loaded into the pistol instead of bullets.



As far as Zack Snyder's Batman is concerned, he gave an interview in which he explained that why he made his version of Batman so brutal. To be honest, I couldn't buy it.


Update: Zack Snyder on death of Robin explains the current psychological state of Batman. I'm not saying that he is psychotic, but he is definitely unstable, and all this justifies the beast(pun definitely not intended) he has become. But it is similar to that of Alfred Tennyson. When you lose someone you care about, you are vulnerable to emotional setback. Thus, he is not the same Batman. He is more brutal, his killer instincts are at peak.
But hopefully, Batman will get over with it, after all. He is vengeance! He am the night! He is the goddamn Batman!

story identification - Animation: floating island, flying pests

At least 20 years ago I watched a short animated film which stuck in my mind. The whole thing was wordless, possibly European, and I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it... It featured a flying island which was inhabited by some creatures who (in my memory) reminded me of the Moomins. The island was frequently bothered by large winged animals who swooped around, although I don't think they did any actual damage. At the end one of the moomin creatures suddenly gets a weird feeling, feels forced to climb to the top of the island and then plunges down a shaft right through the centre - only to emerge at the bottom as one of the flyers. Answer Skywhales from 1983. The story begins with a man warning the tribe of approaching skywhales. The drummers then warn everybody of the hunt as everyone get prepared to set "sail". Except one man is found in his home sleeping as the noise wake him up. He then gets ready and is about to take his weapon as he hesitates then decides ...

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

aliens - Interstellar Zoo story

I vaguely remember this story from my childhood: it was about an interstellar zoo that came to Earth with lots of bizarre and unusual species, and humans would file through and gape at all the crazy looking creatures from other planets. The twist came at the end when the perspective shifted to the other side of the bars and we discovered that the "creatures" were traveling through space on a kind of safari. They thought they were the visitors and we were the animals. Neither side knew that the other side thought they were the zoo creatures. Answer Got it. Zoo, by Edward D. Hoch. Published in 1958.
