Yes, but if you kill two or more, it's all good ๐
Batman could kill all killers in Gotham, last one being himself, then the number drops to 0
Checkmate, moral compass
Ethical people hate this one trick!
That would actually be a pretty cool premise. A hero who promises he will kill himself once all evil is defeated, as what he does although for good is evil itself. But people love him too much so they themselves become evil to keep him around.
I guess kinda like a incredible situation, but more dark because the protagonist just wants to die instead of raise a family.
But evil can never be truly deleted, can it? There will always be new villains. Can you ever truly call yourself done?
No, and that is why his promise is so clever, lol.
That's actually a dope premise. Is there anything out there like that now?
Idk
One of the bad guys becomes a good guy not because it's the right thing to do but because he genuinely wants to see if the hero will kill himself but the only way to promise to not be evil again is to be a good guy. Since the bad guy either has to die or stop fighting for the hero to be happy, but he wouldn't really trust the bad guy if he just stopped. So although he occasionally messes up the bad guys is pretty good now
He could always, you know, just break their spine
So would the number of citizens in gotham. Apparently everyone is a killer in that city.
TIL Batman sucks at math.
