You mean Nemesis
LutraLazuli
me watching whats gonna happen
Panserclaw
Fucking can think of anything worse than Batman as the villian. *shudder*
GadenKerensky
So, Joker might have some unpleasant humour, but he'll do his damnedest to protect the weak?
Disquieting
Imagine if you could've stopped Hitler after his first million deaths, but you didn't. Then he did it again, but you had a moral code...
nostetselyk
Thanks for the single page...

It's not out yet
KarRuptAssassin
I feel like this is a twist on the fan theory of bruce wayne going insane.
dennydorko
Wouldn't it be nice if DC put as much creativity into their ongoing series as they do their alternate universe tales?
anextremelywittyusername
Artist is Sean Murphy and he's awesome. Check out his graphic novel Punk Rock Jesus while you wait. Fun read! :)

While Bryce White by night, Bryce White takes flight as: The White Knight! C&C already did it

I want this, not just for the story but I love the art style.
McKavian
Why not both?
voxael
So ... they're making the Joker into Harvey Dent then?
Sifi7
Basicly, this is why i love elseworlds , absoulutly insane stuff like this.
Krympehl
role reversals?.. not that crazy, me and my SO do that all the time lol (I'm too damn single, someone drown me)
Sifi7
No other stuff like what if supermans grandpa was sent to earth pre american revolution.
Krympehl
that seems unfair :( poor muricans
DuckeeOfDoom
where can i find this series
CreepyDouche
Same.
comicbookSamGoodfield
its out October 4 and ComiXology or comicbook store
rockstarjesus
I'd suggest trying your local comics store this October.
DeltaBladeX
As someone without such (do Marvel and DC even sell comics in NZ? I need to check some time), I'll just wait to see it on Imgur.

To be released Oct. 4. Source: http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2017/07/07/sean-murphy’s-batman-white-knight-arrives-october-4

I think there was a fan comic of batman going back in time to save his parents. But no one came and he had to kill them himself to exist.
asa1967
Which is the stupidest thing in the world. If anyone knows the character they know that he'll fucking destroy the universe before that
Outlavv
Then he becomes the joker
DaOhNanOhNan
I'm super stoned. You just blew my mind, bro.
MonkeyJeansCarey
because he had figured out the funniest joke in the universe but couldnt remember the punchline or something?
WillTradeNudes
I'm assuming because without the joker there is no batman (with the whole time-loop theory)
CactusFantastic0
There's always a man. There's always a lighthouse...
superatheist
If that sort of thing floats your boat, check out the movie "predestination"
Berney

bluefacepaint
You're probably thinking of Flashpoint Paradox, and it's Barry Allen who goes back to save his mother. Bruce Wayne dies in the alley, (1)
KitValentina
Nah, he's not. It was a fan comic put up here a while back and I read it at the time. It was really well done and I wish I had favorited it.
Impressive44
No. There was a separate, fan made comic. That's what he is talking about.
bluefacepaint
(2) which causes Martha Wayne to have a psychotic break and become the Joker, and Thomas Wayne becomes the Batman.
AllCloudsAreMagical
Sounds pretty good, is it worth checking out?
RealBlitzComet
Absolutely, its became known as a modern classic, and is one of the most important storylines in modern DC comics.
ABillionDucks
You could watch the movie if you like that better. Flashpoint paradox.
bluefacepaint
I'm not generally a fan of the Flash, but it's a really good story and I enjoyed it.
FckyourselfSarah
What bothers me about Batman and his "code" is that if you punch enough people, I guarantee you'll kill a few people.
nicklefarts
Batman is as psychotic as his villains. He's a billionaire that dresses up like a bat and runs around at night to punch the poors.
Illthinkofausernamelater
What bothers me is how many times the villains escape and kill a metric shit ton of people. Take one life to save hundreds, for the love of
TallGuyWithAHoodie
The amount of force it takes to knock out a person in one hit is very close to the amount of force it takes to kill a person in one hit.
yapyapblahblahdribbledribbledribble
The actress Natasha Richardson hit her head skiing down the bunny slope and died, just imagine what Batman's fist does to the skull.
PineapplesArePeopleToo
Even so, the idea is that he doesn't want to operate outside the law and choose who lives and dies. So he won't kill if he can avoid it.
Sheepyhead
Oh I thought it was the sci-fi gadgets or the magic villains he fights, but it's his code of ethics being somewhat unrealistic
SilverwingPrime
The way it's handwaved is Bats' observational powers are so good, he knows just how much force to exert in order to not kill someone.
HoneyandFire
I'm sure in some iterations Batman knows this, but in the movie fans lost their shit. But it's fiction, are you okay with Ironman or supes?
FckyourselfSarah
I want Ironman to take over the world. His drone suits would be the ultimate police. Just fly up to a criminal, encase them, off to jail.
TheQuestionFewpeopledoFeweventhinktoaskthequestion
he stays around and heals them with bat belt then?
Ulthirm
I believe his philosophy is more advanced. He will not intentionally kill.
DrHouseSynch
Well, as Damian said in Injustice 2: "So you won't kill but severe brain trauma is okay?"
eroso
Yeah but you forgot that he is a fictional character, so he can be 100% un-leathal if it's just decided to be so.

shanikwa
In the arkham games u gotta punch em real hard again to knock em out when they're dizzy. Nd he wore brass knuckles. Some ppl died, no guilt
Racealistic
Those big guys tho. You would have 35 hit combo them to knock out. No way they are still living
shanikwa
Yeah... I'm actually pretty sure I kill everyone I fight... batman stomps the fuck outta them... he punches their head into the ground
P1ckleT1ckle
Yeah Bats dont give a fuk bout dat. He's real quick to cripple a criminal he deems bad enough to warrant it.
AnAverageBrazillian
Well if he cripples then they won't get back to crime
Boredashell
In The Dark Knight Returns he did this and when questioned by a newbie cop. "He's young, he'll walk again."
DarthReznor
I coulda sworn his "one rule" waa mostly made up for the DK film trilogy. Thought he killed tons of peeps in the comics
sorosfieldops
It's always been a thing, that's why joker does what he does, he knows that Bats wont kill him.
drunkenvalley
I'm reminded of a story. Two kids rob a store. Owner gets out shotgun, shoots one. After a chase, he returns to the shot robber and kills.
drunkenvalley
Point is, Bats isn't trying to kill. Neutralize, but not kill. However, it's inevitable that there will be accidents.
ThorinMapleshield
He had no problem gunning people to shreds in Batman V Superman
Rifneno
I hate Batman, but even I don't count that shit movie as Batman.
Cousinkyle99
Yea he killed like 20 dudes in that. Shooting shit, flippin cars around.
ooshwiggity
Whoa whoa whoa - batman used a gun? Nah, bro. Trash that movie.
Sheepyhead
That's because that is a shit Batman movie
Mobileuserwholikestoberandom
Nah, they're just sleeping. Like his parents.
JediWizard
migratedcoconut
Look at him, he's all tuckered out.
RudyWolf
Thought they were on a farm?
WillTradeNudes
DR FRSHY NOOOOO
TheRockDude
"I overfed these men?"
StonesOnTheHill
That's the super power all heroes share. They live in a universe designed for them to be effective.
iamthisguy247
That'd be true in a lot of fiction. Like when they hit someone over the head to knock them out. Irl would probably fatal every few cases.
kekkres
"knocking out" isnt even really a thing, if you are concussed and out for more than 10 min your probably dead
ohDannyBoi
Seriously. Just think of all the CTE cases Batman is dishing out. He is giving people the slow death.
SilverwingPrime
I love how Archer does this: "Oh, and try not to be unconscious for too long, it's, like, super bad for you."
Ironblitz
Why would you get on top of a train? You're still, like, on the train.
Ironblitz
Maybe there's a helicopter. Do you have a helicopter? No?
SilverwingPrime
That and the tinnitus he has when guns/explosions/etc go off next to his ears.
psychologicaltrap
RE:Creators is an anime that delves into some of the real world results of stuff in fiction. -see "magic girl"
Weissicles
I dread to think.
OfficialCaveJohnson
DefinetlyNotObsessed
GATE kinda mentioned that when they captured a CIA operative they were like "if I knock him out like they do in the movies he might die"
Brocid3n
My favorite is when Superman shows up in justice league and punches a guy or 2 so he can talk to whoever. Thos gaiz is ded
Voltrondestroyerofcpu
Nah. That's why superman even has a story. His entire "thing" is learning to hold back. He one lunch everyone but needs restraint. Not easy
ForgotMyOtherAcct
One Lunch Man
FizzleBurger
He pulls his punches. You ever hear his "world made of cardboard" speech?
