"This court finds you guilty of murdering the Joker, and sentences you to community service. This court also finds that, having murdered the Joker, you have more than adequately serviced your community. You are free to go."
Judge: man you free to go 😑 Bruce: but I'm a murderer... I deserve punishment Judge: before I found the lord i was part of a gang called blue waffles. I was the main shooter and I blasting everyone in Gotham. I lowkey shot Thomas and marth-.... nvm. But that man joker shot my lil niece on her 19th birthday. I went back to the gang and put a hit on his head. You sir are an angel. You got respect in the blue waffles. Bruce: ok.... -.-
"by good behaviour you could get out by the time she's two" Security guard: "sir with good behaviour he could get out by 2 PM we keep telling him he doesn't have to be in here, the sentence for killing the Joker was like 3 hours,the rest he got for attacking the guards every time they try to let him out as he feels he deserves more punishment"
@@neroidius6915 Black mask: IT’S NOT FAIR! We’d usually escape by now but he always stops us last minute! Scarecrow: closest any of us Got was bane using a dug up tunnel in the middle of the night..by morning the guards found to him pinned on the highest towers roof! by kitchen forks… with 15 broken bones ! He doesn’t have his grappling hook, _how the hell did bruce do that?!_ Friefly in fetal position covered with fire extinguisher foam: m-make it staaahp.
And it's got just a hint of a dark tinge to it, because it reminds us that this *is still* the Superman of the Injustice universe, with just the difference that Joker doesn't push him over the edge. The breaking of prison rules like they're as little a barrier as the glass, then saying "Say the word and we're out of here," making it clear he's willing to aid in the escape of a prisoner (a felony) because it's Bruce. Bruce has to walk him back from just casually making Batman and Superman the World's Finest Fugitives.
Every time Batman catches Joker It still baffles me how there wasn't at least one GCPD cop who wouldn't just walk up take off his badge and just shoot joker in the face then put his hands up.
If comic books were modeled after real life it wouldn't be a cop. There'd be a random civilian (or group) whos wife, husband, or child Joker killed who would blast him. Look up Gary Plauche sometime... or Ken McElroy.
@@SothThe69th there are a fair number of cops who would do that think about all of the terrorists in afghan who surrendered but never made it into questioning or prisoners like mobsters who resist arrest behind closed doors with only another partner to back up that statement or claim. but ye if nothing else the american public would take a shot at it
A smart cop would shoot at Clark as he would barely felt the bullet and the cop still keep his job. If bruce was shot, everybody in the world would hate that cop for life including some Villians. But of course it's just a dream.
I don't know what's funnier: the prison guards pointing their guns at Bruce and Clark, or the prisoners who want another round with the man who put them there?
Who said they want a round with Batman? I imagine it's Batman just kicking their ass' unprovoked or for shit they're just doing to others in there. You'd think they'd keep Batman in solitary though.
@@davidmarshall3683 Well Batman’s whole shtick is that he puts criminals in prison. There’s no reason to just beat them up unprovoked when they’re already there
This scene is perfect. Superman realizes what Batman did and wants him to walk free, he obviously has the ability to break him out. But he respects Bruce too much to disobey his wishes, and Bruce respects the law too much to disobey his sentence.
"respects the law too much..." not at all, far from it really, he just upholds his personal moral code. He repeatedly breaks the law and blatantly disregards it, since he's fully aware of all the corruption in the government that use and change the law to further their own goals. He just happens to think murderers ought to get locked up, and that the propper way to go about it is being imprisoned the same way the people he beats up.
It's more like Bruce taking the bullet for Clark, like in the cartoon. He would rather have himself break the code, than Clark losing it all. That's true friendship.
Bruce respects the law? Lol. He is a vigilante who constantly breaking and entering in buildings and houses while beating people up and hiring child soldiers.
@@derrickcarbona9245 Yeah, I think when he said that he kinda broke something in Batman. Bats just reached over and snapped his neck. It was kinda chilling, I wish they'd showed it.
@@adamgreyskul678 They did. The way it came out of nowhere one panel to the next is meant to show just how swift and ruthless it was. We saw the full thing, he just moved that quick about it. No remorse, no hesitation. He was 110% done with it.
The fact that any jury in Gotham would even convict Bruce of killing the Joker is probably the most fictional part of this whole story, even if this was a dream sequence.
Well he definitely pleaded guilty and probably demanded that he goes to prison. At most the judge would make him do a day's worth of community service is Bruce didn't want to go to jail
@@whenfunnydancingcockroach4625 That's fair. I still think he might be sentenced to time served or something. Some loophole would be found to keep him from being sentenced. Even the DA could drop the charges.
@Parvis its suitably batman.. people tend to forget gadgets aren't a crutch, they go up against weapons so have to have some defense.. bruce still was intelligent and a fighter
@@starhawke380 not exactly, this is the injustice timeline, Supergirl doesn't get there until injustice 2. Not that It matters since this is just a dream Superman has.
@@MrOverrated97 I like how even though this is a dream, the injustice Superman knows Batman well enough to know how he would act if he were to have killed the joker.
imagine if clark's kid grows up bats being her favourite hero, like a psychological thing where she appreciates him not knowing he is the reason her and her mother are alive
@Gaming with animations joker had a plan to use a gas on superman that makes him think his wife is doomsday, so clark attacks "doomsday" and kills it, gas wears off and he realizes he just killed his wife and unborn child, also joker had tied practically a nuke onto clark's wife's heartbeat so when she dies metropolis blows up which it did then clark turns evil big time (injustice universe)...now this one is the universe where batman finds out about joker's plan and decides to kill him before he implements it knowing what would happen to supes EDIT: apparently supes was just put into a dream world by batman with the use of magical dust to give supes a sort of happy ending so its not a different universe just a dream....my bad
A cool side story would be her ending up as a Kryptonian Batgirl. Superman being so overprotective that she feels smothered, though still having a good heart, so she ends up being trained by the bats himself.
Honestly this might be my favorite Batman moment ever. This is the one time I feel the idea of Batman killing someone was done 100% right and not just a stupid shock value death to setup the Batman heel turn. Bruce killed not out of a need for revenge or in a fit of anger but because he wanted to protect people he cares about from the madness of Joker and in doing so actually beat the Joker at his game by not breaking his moral code. Bruce then goes on to accept the consequences of his actions like a hero, even though lets not kid ourselves no jury would convict Batman a guy who has saved the earth more times than anyone can remember of murder, esspecially for killing what maybe the most evil human being in the DC universe.
Don’t forget indentity fraud, destruction of public prosperity, brutality, inducing life long traumas, oh!, let not forget child endangerment!. Sheesh bats did a lot of stuff huh?.
Plus what the fuck were the courts gonna to do stop him from going to jail? He's Batman. They can't stop him getting out, they sure as hell can't stop him from getting in and staying in.
@@dagan2000 that's what they're saying... if Bruce had went to trial, JURY ANNULMENT would have been a SURE SHOT. Bruce could have said "I did it, convict me" as his opening statement, and I still bet a jury would be like "happy birthday, Bruce...NOT GUILTY!" What I don't get is...if he's in Black Gate, that means Waller knows RIGHT WHERE HE IS... and she did say "The world will ALWAYS need a Batman" ...She could sure-fire get him on board with Suicide Squad operations right?
For those who are wondering, Batman does get out of prison. I’m pretty sure in this dream universe that Bruce retired from being Batman, and married Diana, while becoming a mentor to Lara
I like to think Bruce wasn’t even sent to court, the town didn’t care if he killed the joker. He put himself in prison and forced them to leave him there for a few years.
I like to think it’s just Batman being a vigilante which is why he was sent to jail. (Cause ya know it’s illegal or something) Honestly killing the joker probably lessen his time in prison
Batman: “I killed a man, I need to serve time” Judge: “I sentence you to 20 minutes in prison.” Batman: “I killed someone, doesn’t that require like……years?” Judge: “Are you questioning my authority?” Batman: “Yea” Judge: “Two years in prison.” But seriously, they technically DID go easy on Bruce. Who gets two years for murder?
During the prohibition, one of the big names in bootlegging murdered his wife for cheating on him. He defended himself (bad idea) and despite admitting to the crime, and with having turned himself in, was aquitted of the crime. A body, a murder weapon, several witnesses, and a first hand admittance of guilt. Got off scot free. Let's just say that justice may be blind, but not those who dole it out.
Weirdly it shows that if Batman was willing to compromise with Joker, he could have inadvertently saved a whole lot more lives. Neat detail that in this storyline is that it shows Superman would have still gone down the same thought of "rule this world, they only know fear", but his daughter and wife helped keep him hopeful.
@@davidmarshall3683 Well it did break him, but not in the "I'll rule this world" sense, more in the "time to hang up the cape and give up being Batman", basically he stepped down rather than stepped up like Superman did
@@AnakinFury yeah it isn’t exactly explained but I believe that batman convinced himself, that if he would be batman again he would probably kill again. “Once that line has been crossed there is no coming back”, thus I believe that he quit just to save himself from killing again.
Well It is not just the lose of Lois and his child made him go down this path. To be more clear he lost his family and the entire city that promised to protect. And plz don't bring me even Batman had lost and never turned evil. Like it is true that Batman had lost but not at the scale of what superman had lost here. Its much more than Batman could ever imagine.... Coming back to the point. If only Batman had decided to stand with superman and guide him through this it would have been a much different outcome but ya Batman had to be a dick and had to keep pushing Superman to the edge to make prove his point. Most of the Heros died just bcz Batman was a coward in Injustice.
I can imagine Bruce in court, his lawyer starts off with this gem 'Ok, keep in mind it was THE JOKER! My opponent now has the floor to justify THE JOKER living after the crap he has pulled and the grave yards he filled.' Bruce would have realistically walked out of court a free man day one.
I do not know the details for the injustice universe, but in most universes, Vigilantism is not something the authorities think kindly about. Gordon is pretty much the exception willing and able to work with Batman in most cases. There are a lot of cases he is involved him in many ways and if Bruce Wayne would ever be brought to trial for his actions as Batman, he would have a lot to answer for. Now that is to say that even then, I doubt that Bruce really NEEDED to be in prison. He has friends in very high places. He has established himself as a public Icon. And, most importantly, he has money. If he wanted to, he could afford the best lawyers and probably bribe entire courthouses.
I do believe the court did let him go, with him providing much to the community and world, with the only person he killed being a terrorist, but knowing batman, he demanded time in prison
"Say the word and we walk out of here" I love this line for so many reasons. I mean for starters he says "walk" not "escape" or "fly out of here" he says "walk". Meaning he knows that EVERYONE knows that if he wanted to leave there with Bruce there's literally no one who could stop him. But also the lengths that Superman is willing to go to for his friend. He KNOWS Bruce killed the Joker, He KNOWS that by getting Bruce out of there he would be breaking his OWN moral code but he's willing to do that for him anyways.
Not gonna lie. To me it was a holy shit moment. WHO would be able to stop superman? All it would take is one word and superman would become injustice superman but it batman morality that pulls superman back from the brink of abusing his god like power.
I always thought the best way for Joker to go out would be by random chance. I have a seen in my head where he escapes from prison but gets wounded and tired, he's travelling the streets of Gotham and laughing to himself, cooking up his next scheme as he retreats to his hideout. And then a random drunk driver plows into him and he goes under the wheels, crushing his head. It's a hit and run. The random, meaningless chaos that the Joker always seemed to revel in, was never his to control. You can't be the master of chaos. You can't be an agent of chaos. Chaos kneels to no one, and the universe always gets the last laugh.
Reminds me of the one non-superhero sort who managed to terrify Joker in the old animated series, by basically risking exactly that - Joker going out randomly, rather than dramatically. Joker had been using a regular citizen named Charlie as a pawn by threatening his family and he eventually snapped. The notion of dying to a "random" suicide bomber alone with no one to know rather than a super hero in a big public fight actually terrified Joker. "This is how it ends, Joker. No big schemes, no grand fight to the finish with the dark knight. Tomorrow, all the papers will say is that the great Joker was found blown to bits in an alley, alongside a miserable little nobody. Kind of funny. Ironic, really. See, I can destroy a man's dreams too, and that's really the only dream you've got, isn't it?" ruclips.net/video/K8C4-SrlptE/видео.html
You know people always blame God for not being good, like if God was all good then he wouldn’t let people die and children molested ect.. but when Superman tries to do what people want God to do everyone freaks out that’s exactly what would happen if God were to make a perfect world there would be no true freedom and things would be monotonous especially in the sense of not being able to choose right from wrong and only having the option of always choosing right defeating the the purpose of life
@@totallynotabot8580 He didn't try to force anything...don't warn people not to do something they haven't done, it makes you sound unnecessarily on-edge.
No joke, when Supes’ just walks through the glass and embraces Bruce, I got teary eyed. Superman was going to kill Joker, he even offers to break the law and bust Bruce out, to think that Bruce is the only force capable of keeping the World’s most powerful being from becoming corrupt. That’s a true homie right there.
He was willing to break his code just so Clark wouldn't end up going to a place he couldn't return from. That's more than just a friend, Bruce did what a brother would do.
Bruce looked into the darkness and harnessed it for good. But he know if anyone else looked into it they wouldn’t be so lucky, 2 of the dark multiverse Batman became evil when they killed the person who murdered their parents by random chance (A green lantern ring coming out of nowhere and the mugger dropping the gun and Bruce shooting him) so by all accounts he had every reason to make an exaction
@@Binqkkk I wonder how Jason would react to this series of events... In his shoes, I think it would bring up the old wounds of "why is HE STILL ALIVE!? I'm not talking about anyone else, JUST HIM...and doing it because he took me from you..." but at the same time, for sure I would appreciate the gravitas of it... he couldn't sacrifice himself for one person, not even family... but he could do it for the whole world... Even if he says it was just for one man, Bruce definitely appreciated the possibility of Clark losing it if Lois was hurt. this is presumably an aversion to the INJUSTICE Superman arc, based on what I see. Bruce KNEW here, and he evidently ALREADY KNEW in Injustice proper that CLARK has to stay pure, stay the "boy scout" ...Bruce knows that reaching into the abyss RARELY leaves you unscathed. It burned nearly everyone he considered a friend...Harvey...Jason...Dick...Damian...Jim and Barbara... even Alfred suffers for the scars Bruce carries. AND THAT IS OKAY FOR THE MOST PART, they accept it...They love him for the man he wants to be, and for the man he almost is.
This is Injustice Superman fantasy, how he wished things had happened. He wished Bruce would prioritize him and his family over his own moral code, the moral code that's keeping that Batman under control, and not becoming a worse threat than the joker. He wished that Bruce's self-inflicted penance is enough for him to somehow still uphold his moral code and not becoming insane.
I love how the officer in the back while they’re hugging is like “tf man you coulda just asked to come through the gate now we have a hole in the visitor center”
i love that clark was ready to just walk out of there with bruce, it really drives home how close they are and it felt like such a human moment with clark
@@shadowraider5154 Its not just for this story because usually any Hero who kills or attempt to kill gets the boot some way some out. In White Knight look at how Bats was portrayed as the enemy.
@@Zhello79 yeah, I get that It’s important for a narrative to give consequences for their protagonist. I was just commenting that, it’s not like they just let Joker do whatever the fuck he wants in this universe. Heroes have rough consequences on the DCU, but so does villains, and I was just reinforcing that, kind of like in a humble reminder way? Edit: (At least that’s my attempt on a “humble reminder”😅)
Sorry to burst the bubble, but this was a dream Superman had. Based on "infinite universes", this probably did happen. But this, specifically, is unfortunately just a dream Superman had after Joker won
That fact that this was dreamed up means it goes into the multiverse. Sad truth is the injustice universe was probably created from a nightmare of the Superman or Batman of the MK v DC universe. Which lead to this earth being a part of the Dark Multiverse.
Judge: Mr Wayne, your sentence is community service till the day you die. Bruce Wayne: Community service? For Murder. Seems a little odd your... Judge: As Batman.
I like how even tho he killed someone and broke his rule...he is still living by his code and facing punishment that shows you how truly strong batman is
Batman killed to save Clark the joker was gonna rip out his heart and Bruce wasn't gonna let that happen again so he killed him so that way all the pll he would've killed later on won't be dead so that way Clark doesn't loose who he is Bruce didn't break any moral code he protected a friend that he sees as a brother
To be fair, t'd be no wonder if that was actually a reflex. I mean, let's start by the fact someone just walked through the glass and metal as if it wasn't there at all. Superman or not, that's ought to scare the hell out of anyone. And what do you do if you know you're armed? Grab your gun.
Still would have hurt Bruce unless Clark shielded him which he may not have been quick enough to do (super-speed or not sometimes reflexes aren’t fast enough)
Bruce lost but the important part is that Joker didn’t win. He was killed by Batman but Bruce kept his morals and Joker died by a quick snap. Nothing flashy, fancy about it.
@@verruckter360 He may have gone against his no kill rule, but the reason he's still better then the criminals like Joker who kill for no reason is that he is staying in prison for as long as the law deems necessary. He won't break out. He wont do it again. And he lets society judge him and punish him. Something the Joker would never do.
I love that in Superman’s perfect world, he still has those evil tendencies despite his daughter and Lois being alive. It really shows that this Superman always had the capacity to become a dictator, all he needed was one very bad day nudge him towards evil.
Yup. Like they say, you can have the worst life ever and have reason to do horrible things. What makes you good is your ability to push through the bad and better than what life gives you. But just as easily all it takes is one bad day and... *Snap* There is no going back for some, and for those that survive like bruce, they are forever changed and damaged in ways you cannot heal, only make peace with.
The fact that Bruce intends to serve his full scentence really shows how much he values life, even if the life he took was that of a crazed murderer beyond help. And the way Clark gave him a hug right then and there and was willing to break him out of prison just goes to show how much he understands and appreciates what he did. Bruce threw away everything he had goong for himself... For Clark and his family, and that truly means alot.
Technically, he didn’t just throw his life away for Clark and his family, but for the sake of the entire universe as Injustice Superman and his Regime were a threat to the whole universe.
I like the Injustice superman, in this timeline where he doesn't kill the joker the temptation to abuse his powers is still there, thats a character flaw and makes him feel more human, but superman has people who can pull him back from the edge. That makes sense
Yeah. And I think it makes sense from a realistic angle. Superman might be looked at as a beacon of morality, but Kryptonian or not, at the end of the day, he's only a man. He's going to get frustrated with the world, and he's going to be tempted to force it to change knowing that he's the only one who might have the power to make that happen. But, of course, his loved ones anchor him.
@Crab in A Top Hat To me superman has always been boring because he's just too perfect and basically flawless, the only time he gets threatened is when the narrative says he has to, and there's nothing from earth thats a threat to him so it's always something from outer space, even kryptonite isn't from earth and essentially it's only function is to give superman a weakness. Superman doesn't have to turn evil, he doesn't even have to consider turning evil, I just like it when he actually has some kind of flaw. It's kind of the same thing I feel about batman, when batman is in a story he's basically the most important character and it feels like nine times out of ten batman will be the one who comes up with the solution regardless of who he's teamed up with, but batman is suppose to be a normal human who trained himself to human perfection, he's not suppose to have powers and yet here he is out thinking literal gods and doing what should be impossible even for technology, being a paranoid loner are suppose to be flaws but they almost never feel like they hinder him in any way and more often then not him being paranoid is played as a good thing, and even though he always wants to go it alone he almost always succeeds. I liked Dark Knight's Metal because the story kicks off because batman is paranoid and a loner, he never told anyone what he was doing and refused to let anyone help, and because of that he was responsible for the event occurring.
@@Nyghtking There's a good video on RUclips called, "Superman: the most underrated Superhero.", by Author's Anvil that explains it better than I can. He actually has quite a few weaknesses, like magic, mind control, even electrical shocks. He's indestructible, but those around him aren't and that is a constant dilemma for him. Just shaking someone's hand or hugging them is terrifying for him due to how easily he could accidentally break them. What makes him interesting (when written well) is that he is a good man who tries his best to help everyone around him. His positivity is a choice, not a character flaw. He choses to be a positive influence on the world, and in a world of evil that moral struggle matters a lot more to some people than just if he can beat up the enemy through sheer strength.
@@Nyghtking superman is still human, but the the best of us, he's not better than us, he told his son he want to kick batman head off everyday lol, but the point is, read comic please, superman is still human and have flaws and negativity, but those negativity will never affect superman, he'll stay true to himself till the end of existence, not even capping
1:58 this just makes me realize how actively people are trying to kill bruce but just get their asses kicked. I’m surprised some villains haven’t just tried bombing the place while he’s there.
I mean, with how much shit Gotham PD put up with from metahumans and psychopaths, they probably have anti-aircraft missile defense systems and force fields around the whole place
Nah the only reason villains kept escaping and going after him was because he let them live and had a code but without a code his rouges gallery would be scared shitless I’m honestly surprised he didn’t take any others out or maybe he did but I think it would be cool if he became the leader of the league of assassins
My favourite part is superman realizing why Bruce killed Joker while also understanding how hard it was for him to break his code. I really like how he just walks, crash the wall and hugs his best friend...and he even offers to break the law and get him out of prison. It's a giant "what if" inside another "what if" (injustice) but i really like it and it's really sweet.
Court Hearing in Gotham Judge: lay the charges Lawyer: The Batman is here on the terms of killing the Joker. Judge:...So what are the charges Lawyer: that's it. Jury: Everyone in Gotham basically agreed what he did wasn't even a crime. But he keeps insisting he should go to jail and face the charges. Judge: I got out of bed at 8:00am when I could be partying the night away to the fact the joker is dead. Were not doing this whole "I deserve to be punished BS" give him a 1 hour sentence in the time out chair and lets get wasted. Course dismissed.
Love it. Batman drove in that car with Joker and for a moment understood the entire gravity of what would happen if he let Joker corrupt Superman thru killing Lois or his kid, and he sacrificed. Ironically. That same sacrifice could just as easily make Superman veer off and go down the corrupt road just to free Batman. What a dynamic.
But here's an important fact: even in Superman's dream world, Batman did not rationalize, excuse, or deflect. He immediately removed his mask and openly surrendered to the police. Righteous or not, deserved or not, it was a crime, and he took responsibility. This is something Superman never did. And even then, you have this moment where Superman openly says that, if Batman asks, he'll just walk out with him, aware that there's nothing they can do to stop him. You can see the 'Injustice' mindset of 'might makes right' seeping in. He also has a discussion with his 'Dreamworld' daughter, in which he expresses 'Take Over' feelings, and his daughter tells him that'd be acting 'Like B-Grade supervillains.' That tell me that, unconsciously, he thinks that he should have taken responsibility for killing Joker and set a good example. And he actually, deep down, hates what he's become, and sees himself as a 'B-Grade supervillain'.
It reminded me of how the question wanted to kill Luthor making the exact same sacrifice, Luthors death would be a blow to the league but being the question just a low rank member they could have recovered by expulsion him, even the worse case scenario being the league would have to disband, would be acceptable compared to Superman becoming the Justice Lord, and if that meant becoming a murderer, and being hated for hurting the league, so be it, it is what it is.
I think seeing this just further grounds my mindset on how I just can’t bring myself to play the injustice games, because I grew up liking both Batman and Superman as comic characters. This just feels more genuine… that if it came down to it, Batman would have surely cancelled the joker before Superman could. 1.) cus he knows Superman is more vital a role and symbol that embodies the greater good. To lose that would be inconsolable. An alien who was more human than he was, but surely would have lost it all with killing the joker. And 2.) because at the heart of it, Batman is a tragic and noble figure… and he would surely go so far as to risk his life and potentially take one to preserve what remains as he did. And equally importantly, his discipline and willingness to endure the hardship that comes from it because he knows he can take it.
I think something miss about both Bruce Wayne's and Batman's character is that he is a perfectionist. To borrow from Batman begins, Batman is a symbol. He is incorruptible and everlasting and so by breaking his code he is no longer a symbol and he can't be Batman. At least that's how Bruce Wayne sees it. So he would never kill the joker. The standard he holds himself to won't allow that. Also, Batman never thought the Joker would come after superman. He's says as much at the beginning of the comics. It's always been about him and the Joker. He never thought the Joker would bring Superman into this.
@@henrypeters5291 "He never thought the Joker would bring Superman into this" And this comes from the man, that had made contingency plans against his Justice League members? Sure planning every scenario sounds unrealistic, for how can one plan for the unexpected? But Batman knew what the Joker was all about, he couldn't expect the Joker to not get bored of the same game every time Joker escapes.
It appears that Superman was a good father, mentoring his daughter and yet knowing when to let go and let her be her own person--and he never stopped worrying about her, the way parents do. It was nice to see something not totally woke that saw Lara making fun of her Dad *playfully*, the way family members do. You could tell they loved each other deeply. It was downright heart warming.
I know its the point of the timeline, but so many of the characters went against what they would normally do in certain situations. Wonderwoman was such a BIG disappointment in this timeline...
I know these are comics and they have to keep characters around for new stories, but even the most liberal, cop hating, defunding, anti death penalty state in the union would have passed a special exception for the Joker years ago. Batman should never have had to kill Joker. The "justice" system should have taken care of that.
@@overhaul-2428 tell that to the victims. I absolutely agree with the first poster. I don't agree with the death penalty but if you have someone who has been on killing sprees multiple times and is smart enough to keep escaping from prison to keep killing, execution is justified.
I will never get over how funny it is, seeing Superman literally walking through a wall just to hug Bruce. Imagining that in a real world scenario, the meaning is happy and heartwarming, but the execution is downright comical.
@@xii978 My thoughts exactly. The fact how he acknowledged & laughed about what he had done shows that he had me redeeming qualities... He had to go. For godsakes even Harley was not cool with that.
@@TheRichard714 Superman was an Icon all other hero's aspired to, except Batman maybe. The Joker shattered that Icon with the death of Lois. The fact that Batman never saw Joker's death coming should be all you need to know as to why the Joker laughed when he died. The great Detective blind sided by an act of a raw violence done by the one person everyone thought was too pure to carry out.
I would have liked to see a scene where Bruce lets to see Lara for the first time after being released from jail. Lara: "So you're . . . Bruce? Bruce Wayne? " Bruce: "Yes. It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Lara. Your father has told me so much about you." Lara: "I guarantee he talks even more about you! He always tells me about how you sacrificed everything you had for him. For us. You're the reason our lives are so wonderful. Thank you, Uncle Bruce." Bruce: "Uncle Bruce?" Lara: "I don't know. feels right to call you that."
I wish I knew exactly how the trial went, because with all jokes aside I cannot imagine a single trial actually sentencing Bruce to do time, like I can see the judge being conflicted and still give him a sentence because it's the law but I cannot imagine a jury being willing to put a man in jail for killing someone that has caused so much destruction and that at that point wanted to blow up the entire city.
If anything it would have probably been 4 hours of Bruce Wayne arguing with the jury and judge that the law is the law, murder is murder no matter who it was done too and he had to face some punishment for an act that taints a person so deeply until they eventually got tired and conceeded to giving him a mid range murder conviction since he refused to get off the stand an innocent man.
Also couldn’t batman just cling to all the good he’s done? This is the equivalent of the teenagers killing jason voorhees and get time in prison because of it.
@@Oniri245 that implies he wants to get off easier. He didn't have to unmask himself in front of the Gotham police, and he could have easily accepted Clark's offer to walk them out of there. He probably pleaded guilty immediately and refused to settle for less than a full punishment.

@@adnanjusic4890 No hes talking about when superman said "We can do what ever we want, We have the power to stop them from hurting themselves." that hints towards him knowing hes better then the humans and he also has thought of taking over the world at somepoint.
@@adnanjusic4890 when you're literally all powerful, those thoughts are just gonna be there. all the time. on the fringes. "i mean i could. i really could. maybe i even should.....but i won't. thats not how this works. i help where i can, but people have to have control of their own lives....but.... i could. if i wanted to. i really could...." ad infinitum.
All Superman ever wanted was Batman to be a friend... I’m not saying Batman should kill Joker but the meaning behind that expressed how much of a importance he held to this friendship. He never showed up when Superman was mourning. But you can also see Superman adding a bit of his twisted beliefs into this dream
In one timeline, this really did happen. Bruce was always more able to see shades of grey than Clark and yet while he doesn't regret it, he takes responsibility and sticks to his principles even after breaking his one rule.
While Joker had the last laugh. Justice have been served. Seriously, Joker should've been put down a long time ago for the hundreds of innocents he's killed. Its like finding Osama Bin Laden and putting him in a mental asylum.
Well Actually no, Joker din't even had the satisfaction of get Batman becoming a killer. Yeah, Joker in the made Batman Kill him but. 1-The main reason why he wanted him to do that was so Batman himself became a killer like him. To admit that his moral code was pointless and wrong, to morally compromise Batman. And even when he manage to get that. Even when Batmana finally took his life, Batman din't become morally compromise, Batman/Bruce abaide to his moral code, that is why despite all, he let himself to be imprisioned, because is his way of saying that what he did was wrong, because his moral code demand that. So yeah Joker made Batman kill, but he actually never abandon his moral code. So the point he wanted to prove all along was never made. 2-Joker wanted Batman to kill him in a very personal and pasinate way. To look at Batman at the very eyes as he slowly suff his life out, and how did Batman kill him? Just a quick random neck snap, just like. Not drawn out battle, no drawn out passion, nothing, just a quick and unpersonal death, in a way Batman killin the Joker was not about the joker but about the damage he had done and what HE WAS about to cause in the future, it was about to stoping something worse from happening. So basically, even when he manage to made Batman cross the line, he din't even got the last laught. In the end, Batman truly defeated the Joker by not letting him break him or anybody else ever again. And thus the Joker joins the big pile of "Generic Psycopaths that just kill for the sake of chaos and are all interchangable with one another" a sad clow whose jokes amuse no one else but himself.
I wouldn't even say that Joker got the last laugh. He got put down like the mad dog that he is, Bruce did a little time (by choice) and the world went on to be a better place.
I really wanted to see the reaction of Dick (Batman’s greatest success). Would he be mad at Bruce that he indoctrinated him for years like that just to break his own rule, or would he be proud at Bruce for sacrificing himself so Clark wouldn’t suffer.
Relieved, because he knows a grieving Superman is dangerous. Jason would be pissed, but proud later because Bruce finally took revenge. Damien probably doesn't care.
Why? Bats killed that is true, but then surrendered himself to the law. He may have become criminal by killing Joker, but he was more than willing to serve his time, just like any other criminal would have. He didn't kill and then ran away. I think that Dick would be pissed only in specific situation, only when killing would become Batman's MO. But if it is only about killing one person, Joker on top of that, then Bats willingly serve time in prison, i think that Dick would understand it. Especially after Bruce would tell Dick, that Joker was planning on pushing Superman beyond the edge.
I feel dick would be disappointed. Bruce is the example that all flawed but well meaning heroes live by. The message would be ultimately skewed thanks to this act on the joker. Dick would honestly want bruce to never be the batman anymore as the vow of never killing would be broken. Putting on the bat uniform now would disgrace that message further. There would still be a batman. Just not bruce. Dick would probably take over, if not him, definitely tim. Tim wants to be batman even more than dick does, tim just never had the combat prowless that bruce, dick, or jason had. But with damien watching his back, it could work. Ultimately, dick from now on would regularly check in with bruce to make sure his adopted father isnt beating himself up too badly. Bruce would never quit trying to protect gotham either. He would become the next "oracle" or "man on the wall" Someone who still watches over gotham, but wouldnt trust himself to not kill. He always feared that, and killing joker would have proved his fears a reality. This would be joker winning, and bruce knew it too. Dick would know all this too, as he is one of bruces closest family members. When joker died, so did bruces batman.
POV: You tried to pull a gun on a rich crime fighting man dressed as a bat with multiple styles of attacking/fighting and a alien who could destroy the world if he wanted
4:21 I always thought about this/that. Superman can literally create *entirely new glaciers* in the span of minutes... Even though it wasn't Clark, I'm glad *someone* decided to do this.
He could've handed him to Clark, so he could toss him into the Phantom Zone..bye bye Joker...he can escape Arkham, but he definitely can't escape the Phantom Zone.
That was an option, but he knew in that moment Clark was going to kill the Joker. Maybe not right that moment, but what about the next time he tries? Or the time after that? Batman knew the world needed a superman who wasn't constantly in fear.
you underestimate the strength of his plot armor. exile him to the Phantom zone, he comes back in a year or two at the head of an army of phantom zone monstrosities that he's driven even MORE insane than they already were...eager to bring damnation to the mortal world becuase they were the ones who sent the Joker to them and made the zone so much, MUCH WORSE. The only way to deal with joker is to kill him from a distance (we found out what happens if you do it up close) and keep a SHARP eye out for secondary infections. The Bat that Laughs would not have happened, for instance, if they had just strapped the putz to an electric chair or gas chamber and executed him. (though 'd be careful about cremating the body...his ashes might pull a "return of the living dead", mix with the water table, and create Joker rain. or some such)
@@alexsolomon7991 Exactly, the plot armor in Joker is too strong, you can´t keep him restrained or rehabilitate him, you kill him for good or you will have him back.
The judge probably was still in his pajamas on the trial date and just told Bruce "Dude, go home you're innocent it was the fucking Joker." as soon as he walked through the courthouse doors.
@@elainegoates9792 Yeah, the joker stuff was probably ruled closer to putting down a rabid dog and they charged him for being a vigilante and property damage. Minimum they could give was probably those two years.
Batman while Joker is filling graveyards: I do not kill. That would make me no better than him. The Joker messes with Superman. Batman: Even I'm not stupid enough to piss him off. *breaks Joker's neck* Though I do find it EXTREMELY weird that Bruce went to prison for it. Though to be honest, It's amazing he didn't end up suffering backlash from the families of everyone the Joker killed for not killing him sooner.
Because accordingly, since batman went "against" his morals and killed a man, he has to answer for it. Even though that man is one of the most evil, most vile, and messed up individuals in history, he still has to live
And if he didn't punish himself with consequences for murdering, Superman would probably start doing it too, thinking it's ok since batman did it and is Scott free.
Why do people always blame Batman for not killing Joker? Why isn't the failure of the police for being unable to handle him on their own? How about the courts that accept insanity pleas for supervillains or Arkham failing to contain him? Why is it Batman's fault for having some level of moral complexity beyond 'bad guy, me kill'? The psychology of Batman and how it reflects on his rogues gallery is one of the best things about him and people just shit on it to make a dumb point.
@@Zoidberryable After the second time someone escapes Arkham, you would think that Bruce would do something about it. Problem is it happens time and time again and they keep getting out, causing mayhem, and killing people. I would have personally snapped the Joker's spine to limit his mobility if I didn't want to outright kill him.
@@Zoidberryable That's the thing, Arkham is probably the easiest place to escape from. You have people that don't even have gangs escaping every other day. The only reason Bruce doesn't kill is because he would be no better than the Joker. It would be far to easy to keep killing. The Joker lives because Bruce would become a monster. Similar to Superman, the guy lives in a world that would crumble so easily in his hands. Nothing would be able to stop him without Kryptonite. In reality that's what a lot of these super heroes deal with. They have powers that could help them rule entire worlds, star systems, but they don't. I's not them, but the pressure to do it because it's easy weighs on them. Batman does carry the blame for not stopping the Joker. Not making sure he's locked away or dead. His greatest weakness is that he could never come back if he crossed the line.
This makes me so happy, the friendship of Bruce and Clark have where both are perfectly willing to give up their beliefs for the other, the family and peace that Clark deserves, and a world without the Joker
Clark just walking through the bulletproof grass to hug his buddy. And major props to Batman for turning himself in and serving his time. Dude stands by his convictions.
This Batman: goes against his principles to protect his friend and save millions, yet still takes responsibility for his actions by going to prison. In essence, he killed his worst enemy and instead of going insane for some contrived reason, he simply lives the consequences of his actions without making a big song and dance about it. Injustice Batman: doesn't learn a thing even after Joker nuked Metropolis, killing Lois and her unborn child as well as breaking Superman, proceeds to egg on Superman's breakdown by not helping him when his parents got kidnapped and by constantly opposing Superman which only drove him to even more extreme methods. Then he disowns his own son for killing a mass-murdering psychopath and he then employs Harley Quinn of all people, including making her a member of the Justice League. Let me repeat that like a prick: he employs his worst enemy's henchwoman who had a direct hand in the plot that killed millions and drove Superman insane and he even has her join the Justice League, essentially taking a metaphorical and literal dump on the ruins of Metropolis, the graves of millions, his friendship with Superman and everything he ever stood for, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's a self-righteous hypocrite who values his worthless principles over the lives of innocent people or even being a hero. He never once took responsibility for his actions or his complicity through inaction and all he ever did was look down on Superman from his moral high ground stacked atop a literal mountain of corpses from people he let die to uphold his principles. Is it any wonder Superman went insane when he had to put up with people like that -- who, need I remind you, is supposed to be Superman's best friend, who was even asked to be the godfather to Superman's child? Jesus Christ...
Beautifully worded and spot on the world was really crushing Superman and all he did was realize he could push back and in fact he could crush the world
Batman will always be my favorite! But even I have a hard time with the Harley thing (despite liking her in I2), and funny enough no one (not Wonder Woman, the Regime, not even Superman himself) seem to address that. Not once.
I like how, even with this “vision,” I guess, of what could have been, you can still see how warped this version of Superman had become with how he’s so willing to break laws and argue in the defense of killing Joker. You can still tell something’s a little off since Superman as he should be would never say something like *”He wasn’t a man”* to excuse killing, it just doesn’t line up with either him or Batman. And then you watch BvS and watch the both of them casually make more little Brice Waynes and you wonder how we ended up with Injustice being a better representation of DC.
@@bobZfish even so, it’s not them. Even if you or I would 100% put Joker on the “too soon” joke list, doesn’t mean they would. They basically refuse to because they know once they start justifying it they’ll start abusing their power, which is exactly what happened to superman as he doesn’t stop making people’s pronouns was/were
@@pp-vf8ls and again, that doesn’t matter. *We* may totally axe him, *they* wouldn’t. It’s part of their *core character traits that they do not kill.* Clark because he’s such a nice person and is basically the best of humanity, Bruce because once he goes down that path he knows he won’t be able to stop himself. It doesn’t matter how we would do it because we are not them and therefore would face totally different consequences. It’s like arguing that Red Hood would be fine killing joker so Batman should too
A judge: Bruce this is the 90th time we've been here with you, your free to go Bruce: NO! I killed a man so I deserve to get time in prison! Judge: But it was the joker. We should be giving you a Nobel peace prize but you traded it in to the government for prison time but they only gave you 60 minutes. Bruce: Well to bad I killed so I must have a punishment * superman bursts through a wall * Superman: OK Bruce time to go * drags Bruce out * Bruce: NO! NO! I KILLED A MAN * getting quieter and quieter * I KILLED! NOOOO!

@@keithharrissuwignjo2460 Gordon: no bruce, the jury is absent because it was in statistically impossible to find anyone impartial! it Just so turns out everyone in the country, let alone the city has a rather positive bias to murdering the Joker.
@@GreaterGrievobeast55 Gordon: Hell, the jury wanted to give you a tax break, a party and therapy. Batman: I don't like any of those. Gordon: Well, then.... that's what we'll be doing. Batman: I don't deserve this. Gordon: You're getting it.
Let’s be real, if Batman feels that he NEEDS to serve time in jail for killing Joker, then this is what’s gonna happen: -Convicted for first degree murder: sentenced for one day in prison -Fed a T-Bone steak, baked potato, lobster tail, anything he feels like having -Stays in a cell with central air and heating -Forced to sleep on a California king sized memory foam bed away from all the other prisoners -Shower in his room with shower gel (so he doesn’t need to worry about dropping the soap) -TV in his cell In every single sane human being’s eyes, that’s “justice” being served for Batman killing the Clown Prince of Crime
And all the inmates go by an unspoken rule, further enforced by the COs: stay tf away from Bruce. Everyone who saw him sent in solemnly agreed and will prevent him from being attacked, verbally or physically.
There is another thing. Can you imagine the riots of people, who knew someone killed by Joker? Or families of his victims? I am really curious how they would explain that to normal people, that Bruce Wayne, billionare philanthropist who spent untold resources to help people, both with his company and with his own life, was conviced for 2 years cause he killed the worst criminal in the history of Gotham. No to mention that many of those, who lost something/someone to the Gotham Criminals, may have been taken care for by different Wayne Foundations(especially the younger ones). I think that ordinary people/people who was save thanks to Batman/Bruce Wayne, would not just accept it. Whether or not that would matter to Batman's sense of justice that is different story, but the fact is, that he would have the "will of the people" behind him, certainly more than some glorified politicians/judges. Hence i think that they would let Bruce go free, cause imprisoning him would cause a LOTS of unnecessary problems. Between two options, "getting justice for Joker" or "getting Bruce out of jail", the second option is more acceptable for people. Not to mention, that if people knew that Superman is on their side in this specific case, they would rally around him in bid for Bat's freedom.
That's a very unrealistic conclusion. now, realistically, he'd have all of the aforementioned things but with - a 60 inch flat screen tv complete with any gaming console of his choice - a built-in swimming pool inside his cell - a grand piano in case he wants to play la campanella for some reason - a thank-you card given directly by the president - a thank-you video given directly by the UN - a mailbox that receives fan letters and fanart directly from the joker's past victims - a food court inside his cell manned by the greatest chefs the dc universe has ever produced
The moment Clark walks through the glass window to hug Bruce, to say Thank you for his tremendous sacrifice, coupled with the music… made that scene emotionally beautiful.
The amount of fan were AGAINST this decisions just sickens me to the core. It's hard to tell whether they really batman fans or just secretly joker fans.
This is ultimately my favourite version of the Injustice timeline; where even Batman realizes that there are people in this world that need to die, and that if he wasn't going to do it then Superman would and would corrupt everything he stood for. That, and people would live in fear of him and not in hope knowing Superman would never take another life.
According to the writer of Injustice (Tom Taylor), this was his 'love-letter' to the characters of Injustice before he finished writing the series. It's basically his personal depiction of how he believes this Injustice world COULD (and should) have gone... a world where the characters acted more like themselves, and the heroes were truly the people we know.
I never realized how creepy Batman is when he’s no longer a hero, but a crazed vigilante. When he guessed Superman’s kid’s gender it was a bit scary, he seemed villain like behind bars. And that stern and analytic face of his makes his genius terrifying
I refuse to believe anyone would jail him for killing the joker, they would probably be thanking him and be saying: fucking finally . But that makes the story less cool also Batman probably would want to be in jail for it
For sure, once the joker killed enough people he became basically a terrorist, you wouldn't even think about it, but thing is he would still be arrested, and put in trial, and once that happens, he himself would tell the judge to ignore Jokers past and just Jail him for the first degree murder.
imo it makes the story seem a little more believable and less silly as being imprisoned for killing the joker. I honestly can't take this shit seriously.
@@vice2versa ya but you kinda need to know batmans character a bit more and the system in Gotham which is corrupt head to toe, they have a win win becaude they get batman off the streets and curruption rains supreme (plus one less outlaw to take care of), and batman in most universes where he breaks his code ends up becoming currupted, to the point where he start jutifying killing pretty much anyone, he basically becomes punisher, and thats why he NEEDS this for himself.
I don't think they jailed him for jokers murder, since they knew his identity he was jailed for beating up every criminal in Gotham for years and probably a few accounts of breaking and entering. And he was probably pardoned for most of that
Honestly, moments like these are my favourite when it comes to Clark and Bruce. I don't care all that much about the "who would beat who" scenarios, I just love seeing these two be the best of bros.
Except this is Injustice Superman. He is far more willing to do that. Just like the walking through the wall. It is a cool scene, but would main universe Superman do it? Breaking Bruce out is just another example of him not really caring about justice as much as the real Clark.
The government does not decide The death penalty, a jury does. And let me tell you, having her with a jury will say it when it comes to the death penalty… Let you know idiots are among us.
@@juanawatson Among the people executed, more than is comfortable were found innocent later on. Better to have scum rotting in jail, than to have innocents in the grave.
It’s one of the reasons I like Bruce more, he cares about everyone around him, he will do whatever it takes to win, to protect those he cares for, and of course he’s not perfect, he fails, he does wrong, he hurts those he tries his hardest to protect, but again that’s why I like him, he’s the loving embodiment of a compassionate human, not some god who’s literally invincible to all but a green rock, not some humanoid who can speak to fish and command them, not some cyborg, or super speedster, he’s human, and I feel that’s what makes him the best dc hero.

It took a lot more to end their friendship and it's gonna take a hell of a lot more to keep those two apart.
World’s Finest friendship.
And it's got just a hint of a dark tinge to it, because it reminds us that this *is still* the Superman of the Injustice universe, with just the difference that Joker doesn't push him over the edge. The breaking of prison rules like they're as little a barrier as the glass, then saying "Say the word and we're out of here," making it clear he's willing to aid in the escape of a prisoner (a felony) because it's Bruce. Bruce has to walk him back from just casually making Batman and Superman the World's Finest Fugitives.
Every time Batman catches Joker It still baffles me how there wasn't at least one GCPD cop who wouldn't just walk up take off his badge and just shoot joker in the face then put his hands up.
If comic books were modeled after real life it wouldn't be a cop. There'd be a random civilian (or group) whos wife, husband, or child Joker killed who would blast him. Look up Gary Plauche sometime... or Ken McElroy.

Both 😂😂
This scene is perfect. Superman realizes what Batman did and wants him to walk free, he obviously has the ability to break him out. But he respects Bruce too much to disobey his wishes, and Bruce respects the law too much to disobey his sentence.
"respects the law too much..." not at all, far from it really, he just upholds his personal moral code. He repeatedly breaks the law and blatantly disregards it, since he's fully aware of all the corruption in the government that use and change the law to further their own goals. He just happens to think murderers ought to get locked up, and that the propper way to go about it is being imprisoned the same way the people he beats up.
It's more like Bruce taking the bullet for Clark, like in the cartoon. He would rather have himself break the code, than Clark losing it all. That's true friendship.
Worst part is that this is all a dream superman is having
Bruce respects the law? Lol. He is a vigilante who constantly breaking and entering in buildings and houses while beating people up and hiring child soldiers.
He doesn't really respect the law, at least the ridiculous laws of Gotham

EDIT: apparently supes was just put into a dream world by batman with the use of magical dust to give supes a sort of happy ending so its not a different universe just a dream....my bad
A cool side story would be her ending up as a Kryptonian Batgirl. Superman being so overprotective that she feels smothered, though still having a good heart, so she ends up being trained by the bats himself.
Honestly this might be my favorite Batman moment ever. This is the one time I feel the idea of Batman killing someone was done 100% right and not just a stupid shock value death to setup the Batman heel turn. Bruce killed not out of a need for revenge or in a fit of anger but because he wanted to protect people he cares about from the madness of Joker and in doing so actually beat the Joker at his game by not breaking his moral code. Bruce then goes on to accept the consequences of his actions like a hero, even though lets not kid ourselves no jury would convict Batman a guy who has saved the earth more times than anyone can remember of murder, esspecially for killing what maybe the most evil human being in the DC universe.
yeah, but he pled guilty. he skipped the trial completely
Don’t forget indentity fraud, destruction of public prosperity, brutality, inducing life long traumas, oh!, let not forget child endangerment!. Sheesh bats did a lot of stuff huh?.
Plus what the fuck were the courts gonna to do stop him from going to jail? He's Batman. They can't stop him getting out, they sure as hell can't stop him from getting in and staying in.
@@dagan2000 that's what they're saying... if Bruce had went to trial, JURY ANNULMENT would have been a SURE SHOT. Bruce could have said "I did it, convict me" as his opening statement, and I still bet a jury would be like "happy birthday, Bruce...NOT GUILTY!"
What I don't get is...if he's in Black Gate, that means Waller knows RIGHT WHERE HE IS...
and she did say "The world will ALWAYS need a Batman" ...She could sure-fire get him on board with Suicide Squad operations right?
@@abigails4088 there is no way in hell that he would join the Squad. The whole thing goes against his moral code
For those who are wondering, Batman does get out of prison. I’m pretty sure in this dream universe that Bruce retired from being Batman, and married Diana, while becoming a mentor to Lara

I like to think it’s just Batman being a vigilante which is why he was sent to jail.
(Cause ya know it’s illegal or something)
Honestly killing the joker probably lessen his time in prison
Batman: “I killed a man, I need to serve time”
Judge: “I sentence you to 20 minutes in prison.”
Batman: “I killed someone, doesn’t that require like……years?”
Judge: “Are you questioning my authority?”
Batman: “Yea”
Judge: “Two years in prison.”
But seriously, they technically DID go easy on Bruce. Who gets two years for murder?
This the funniest comment I’ve seen all day🤣🤣😭😭 it’s funny cuz that’s exactly how it would go🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭
During the prohibition, one of the big names in bootlegging murdered his wife for cheating on him. He defended himself (bad idea) and despite admitting to the crime, and with having turned himself in, was aquitted of the crime. A body, a murder weapon, several witnesses, and a first hand admittance of guilt. Got off scot free. Let's just say that justice may be blind, but not those who dole it out.
Two years on good behavior, that's less than regular time.
Califonians
Realistically there wouldn’t be a sentence he’d probably be rewarded
Weirdly it shows that if Batman was willing to compromise with Joker, he could have inadvertently saved a whole lot more lives. Neat detail that in this storyline is that it shows Superman would have still gone down the same thought of "rule this world, they only know fear", but his daughter and wife helped keep him hopeful.
I also find it interesting that this proves Batman wrong he is a better man than Clark and killing someone wouldn't break him.
@@davidmarshall3683 Well it did break him, but not in the "I'll rule this world" sense, more in the "time to hang up the cape and give up being Batman", basically he stepped down rather than stepped up like Superman did
This was a dream of Superman's after Joker won though.
@@AnakinFury yeah it isn’t exactly explained but I believe that batman convinced himself, that if he would be batman again he would probably kill again. “Once that line has been crossed there is no coming back”, thus I believe that he quit just to save himself from killing again.
Well It is not just the lose of Lois and his child made him go down this path. To be more clear he lost his family and the entire city that promised to protect. And plz don't bring me even Batman had lost and never turned evil. Like it is true that Batman had lost but not at the scale of what superman had lost here. Its much more than Batman could ever imagine.... Coming back to the point. If only Batman had decided to stand with superman and guide him through this it would have been a much different outcome but ya Batman had to be a dick and had to keep pushing Superman to the edge to make prove his point. Most of the Heros died just bcz Batman was a coward in Injustice.
I can imagine Bruce in court, his lawyer starts off with this gem 'Ok, keep in mind it was THE JOKER! My opponent now has the floor to justify THE JOKER living after the crap he has pulled and the grave yards he filled.'
Bruce would have realistically walked out of court a free man day one.
I imagine the judge arresting the cop who arrested Batman
@@optmystic722 You mean Gordan?
I do not know the details for the injustice universe, but in most universes, Vigilantism is not something the authorities think kindly about. Gordon is pretty much the exception willing and able to work with Batman in most cases. There are a lot of cases he is involved him in many ways and if Bruce Wayne would ever be brought to trial for his actions as Batman, he would have a lot to answer for.
Now that is to say that even then, I doubt that Bruce really NEEDED to be in prison. He has friends in very high places. He has established himself as a public Icon. And, most importantly, he has money. If he wanted to, he could afford the best lawyers and probably bribe entire courthouses.
I do believe the court did let him go, with him providing much to the community and world, with the only person he killed being a terrorist, but knowing batman, he demanded time in prison
Justice is blind
"Say the word and we walk out of here"
I love this line for so many reasons.
I mean for starters he says "walk" not "escape" or "fly out of here" he says "walk". Meaning he knows that EVERYONE knows that if he wanted to leave there with Bruce there's literally no one who could stop him.
But also the lengths that Superman is willing to go to for his friend. He KNOWS Bruce killed the Joker, He KNOWS that by getting Bruce out of there he would be breaking his OWN moral code but he's willing to do that for him anyways.
Not gonna lie. To me it was a holy shit moment. WHO would be able to stop superman? All it would take is one word and superman would become injustice superman but it batman morality that pulls superman back from the brink of abusing his god like power.

you think this prison could hold batman more than several hours if he didn’t want it to
I always thought the best way for Joker to go out would be by random chance. I have a seen in my head where he escapes from prison but gets wounded and tired, he's travelling the streets of Gotham and laughing to himself, cooking up his next scheme as he retreats to his hideout. And then a random drunk driver plows into him and he goes under the wheels, crushing his head. It's a hit and run. The random, meaningless chaos that the Joker always seemed to revel in, was never his to control. You can't be the master of chaos. You can't be an agent of chaos. Chaos kneels to no one, and the universe always gets the last laugh.
Reminds me of the one non-superhero sort who managed to terrify Joker in the old animated series, by basically risking exactly that - Joker going out randomly, rather than dramatically. Joker had been using a regular citizen named Charlie as a pawn by threatening his family and he eventually snapped. The notion of dying to a "random" suicide bomber alone with no one to know rather than a super hero in a big public fight actually terrified Joker.
"This is how it ends, Joker. No big schemes, no grand fight to the finish with the dark knight. Tomorrow, all the papers will say is that the great Joker was found blown to bits in an alley, alongside a miserable little nobody. Kind of funny. Ironic, really. See, I can destroy a man's dreams too, and that's really the only dream you've got, isn't it?"

No joke, when Supes’ just walks through the glass and embraces Bruce, I got teary eyed.
Superman was going to kill Joker, he even offers to break the law and bust Bruce out, to think that Bruce is the only force capable of keeping the World’s most powerful being from becoming corrupt. That’s a true homie right there.
He was willing to break his code just so Clark wouldn't end up going to a place he couldn't return from. That's more than just a friend, Bruce did what a brother would do.
Bruce looked into the darkness and harnessed it for good.
But he know if anyone else looked into it they wouldn’t be so lucky, 2 of the dark multiverse Batman became evil when they killed the person who murdered their parents by random chance (A green lantern ring coming out of nowhere and the mugger dropping the gun and Bruce shooting him) so by all accounts he had every reason to make an exaction
Jason is the opposite of that. Which I find cool
@@Binqkkk I wonder how Jason would react to this series of events...
In his shoes, I think it would bring up the old wounds of "why is HE STILL ALIVE!? I'm not talking about anyone else, JUST HIM...and doing it because he took me from you..."
but at the same time, for sure I would appreciate the gravitas of it... he couldn't sacrifice himself for one person, not even family...
but he could do it for the whole world... Even if he says it was just for one man, Bruce definitely appreciated the possibility of Clark losing it if Lois was hurt.
this is presumably an aversion to the INJUSTICE Superman arc, based on what I see. Bruce KNEW here, and he evidently ALREADY KNEW in Injustice proper that CLARK has to stay pure, stay the "boy scout" ...Bruce knows that reaching into the abyss RARELY leaves you unscathed. It burned nearly everyone he considered a friend...Harvey...Jason...Dick...Damian...Jim and Barbara... even Alfred suffers for the scars Bruce carries. AND THAT IS OKAY FOR THE MOST PART, they accept it...They love him for the man he wants to be, and for the man he almost is.
This is Injustice Superman fantasy, how he wished things had happened. He wished Bruce would prioritize him and his family over his own moral code, the moral code that's keeping that Batman under control, and not becoming a worse threat than the joker. He wished that Bruce's self-inflicted penance is enough for him to somehow still uphold his moral code and not becoming insane.
Which is funny, because in the actual story, he didn't.
It's really sad how the bro-est version of Batman exists only in Superman's dream

To be fair, t'd be no wonder if that was actually a reflex. I mean, let's start by the fact someone just walked through the glass and metal as if it wasn't there at all. Superman or not, that's ought to scare the hell out of anyone. And what do you do if you know you're armed? Grab your gun.

@@verruckter360 He may have gone against his no kill rule, but the reason he's still better then the criminals like Joker who kill for no reason is that he is staying in prison for as long as the law deems necessary.

I love that in Superman’s perfect world, he still has those evil tendencies despite his daughter and Lois being alive. It really shows that this Superman always had the capacity to become a dictator, all he needed was one very bad day nudge him towards evil.
Yup. Like they say, you can have the worst life ever and have reason to do horrible things. What makes you good is your ability to push through the bad and better than what life gives you.
But just as easily all it takes is one bad day and... *Snap*
There is no going back for some, and for those that survive like bruce, they are forever changed and damaged in ways you cannot heal, only make peace with.
Good call.
'all he needed was one very bad day to nudge him toward evil.' isn't that the jokers line?
Looks like Clark proved Jokers "One Bad Day" idea.
Really? I thought he asked that question just to see her answer.
The fact that Bruce intends to serve his full scentence really shows how much he values life, even if the life he took was that of a crazed murderer beyond help. And the way Clark gave him a hug right then and there and was willing to break him out of prison just goes to show how much he understands and appreciates what he did. Bruce threw away everything he had goong for himself... For Clark and his family, and that truly means alot.
Technically, he didn’t just throw his life away for Clark and his family, but for the sake of the entire universe as Injustice Superman and his Regime were a threat to the whole universe.
I like the Injustice superman, in this timeline where he doesn't kill the joker the temptation to abuse his powers is still there, thats a character flaw and makes him feel more human, but superman has people who can pull him back from the edge.
That makes sense
Yeah. And I think it makes sense from a realistic angle. Superman might be looked at as a beacon of morality, but Kryptonian or not, at the end of the day, he's only a man. He's going to get frustrated with the world, and he's going to be tempted to force it to change knowing that he's the only one who might have the power to make that happen. But, of course, his loved ones anchor him.
@Crab in A Top Hat To me superman has always been boring because he's just too perfect and basically flawless, the only time he gets threatened is when the narrative says he has to, and there's nothing from earth thats a threat to him so it's always something from outer space, even kryptonite isn't from earth and essentially it's only function is to give superman a weakness.
Superman doesn't have to turn evil, he doesn't even have to consider turning evil, I just like it when he actually has some kind of flaw.
It's kind of the same thing I feel about batman, when batman is in a story he's basically the most important character and it feels like nine times out of ten batman will be the one who comes up with the solution regardless of who he's teamed up with, but batman is suppose to be a normal human who trained himself to human perfection, he's not suppose to have powers and yet here he is out thinking literal gods and doing what should be impossible even for technology, being a paranoid loner are suppose to be flaws but they almost never feel like they hinder him in any way and more often then not him being paranoid is played as a good thing, and even though he always wants to go it alone he almost always succeeds.
I liked Dark Knight's Metal because the story kicks off because batman is paranoid and a loner, he never told anyone what he was doing and refused to let anyone help, and because of that he was responsible for the event occurring.
@@Nyghtking There's a good video on RUclips called, "Superman: the most underrated Superhero.", by Author's Anvil that explains it better than I can. He actually has quite a few weaknesses, like magic, mind control, even electrical shocks. He's indestructible, but those around him aren't and that is a constant dilemma for him. Just shaking someone's hand or hugging them is terrifying for him due to how easily he could accidentally break them.
What makes him interesting (when written well) is that he is a good man who tries his best to help everyone around him. His positivity is a choice, not a character flaw. He choses to be a positive influence on the world, and in a world of evil that moral struggle matters a lot more to some people than just if he can beat up the enemy through sheer strength.
@@Nyghtking superman is still human, but the the best of us, he's not better than us, he told his son he want to kick batman head off everyday lol, but the point is, read comic please, superman is still human and have flaws and negativity, but those negativity will never affect superman, he'll stay true to himself till the end of existence, not even capping

Court Hearing in Gotham
Judge: lay the charges
Lawyer: The Batman is here on the terms of killing the Joker.
Judge:...So what are the charges
Lawyer: that's it.
Jury: Everyone in Gotham basically agreed what he did wasn't even a crime. But he keeps insisting he should go to jail and face the charges.
Judge: I got out of bed at 8:00am when I could be partying the night away to the fact the joker is dead. Were not doing this whole "I deserve to be punished BS" give him a 1 hour sentence in the time out chair and lets get wasted. Course dismissed.
Love it. Batman drove in that car with Joker and for a moment understood the entire gravity of what would happen if he let Joker corrupt Superman thru killing Lois or his kid, and he sacrificed.
Ironically. That same sacrifice could just as easily make Superman veer off and go down the corrupt road just to free Batman. What a dynamic.
on point
But here's an important fact: even in Superman's dream world, Batman did not rationalize, excuse, or deflect. He immediately removed his mask and openly surrendered to the police. Righteous or not, deserved or not, it was a crime, and he took responsibility. This is something Superman never did.
And even then, you have this moment where Superman openly says that, if Batman asks, he'll just walk out with him, aware that there's nothing they can do to stop him. You can see the 'Injustice' mindset of 'might makes right' seeping in.
He also has a discussion with his 'Dreamworld' daughter, in which he expresses 'Take Over' feelings, and his daughter tells him that'd be acting 'Like B-Grade supervillains.'
That tell me that, unconsciously, he thinks that he should have taken responsibility for killing Joker and set a good example. And he actually, deep down, hates what he's become, and sees himself as a 'B-Grade supervillain'.
@@Ares99999 Absolutely. And it's all amazing!
@@Ares99999 you just broke down the coconut my man!
It reminded me of how the question wanted to kill Luthor making the exact same sacrifice, Luthors death would be a blow to the league but being the question just a low rank member they could have recovered by expulsion him, even the worse case scenario being the league would have to disband, would be acceptable compared to Superman becoming the Justice Lord, and if that meant becoming a murderer, and being hated for hurting the league, so be it, it is what it is.
I think seeing this just further grounds my mindset on how I just can’t bring myself to play the injustice games, because I grew up liking both Batman and Superman as comic characters. This just feels more genuine… that if it came down to it, Batman would have surely cancelled the joker before Superman could.
1.) cus he knows Superman is more vital a role and symbol that embodies the greater good. To lose that would be inconsolable. An alien who was more human than he was, but surely would have lost it all with killing the joker.
And 2.) because at the heart of it, Batman is a tragic and noble figure… and he would surely go so far as to risk his life and potentially take one to preserve what remains as he did. And equally importantly, his discipline and willingness to endure the hardship that comes from it because he knows he can take it.
I think something miss about both Bruce Wayne's and Batman's character is that he is a perfectionist. To borrow from Batman begins, Batman is a symbol. He is incorruptible and everlasting and so by breaking his code he is no longer a symbol and he can't be Batman. At least that's how Bruce Wayne sees it. So he would never kill the joker. The standard he holds himself to won't allow that.
Also, Batman never thought the Joker would come after superman. He's says as much at the beginning of the comics. It's always been about him and the Joker. He never thought the Joker would bring Superman into this.
@@henrypeters5291 "He never thought the Joker would bring Superman into this"
And this comes from the man, that had made contingency plans against his Justice League members? Sure planning every scenario sounds unrealistic, for how can one plan for the unexpected?
But Batman knew what the Joker was all about, he couldn't expect the Joker to not get bored of the same game every time Joker escapes.
It appears that Superman was a good father, mentoring his daughter and yet knowing when to let go and let her be her own person--and he never stopped worrying about her, the way parents do. It was nice to see something not totally woke that saw Lara making fun of her Dad *playfully*, the way family members do. You could tell they loved each other deeply. It was downright heart warming.
This is in many ways a more believable plot line for how events might unfold.
I know its the point of the timeline, but so many of the characters went against what they would normally do in certain situations. Wonderwoman was such a BIG disappointment in this timeline...
I know these are comics and they have to keep characters around for new stories, but even the most liberal, cop hating, defunding, anti death penalty state in the union would have passed a special exception for the Joker years ago. Batman should never have had to kill Joker. The "justice" system should have taken care of that.

I wish I knew exactly how the trial went, because with all jokes aside I cannot imagine a single trial actually sentencing Bruce to do time, like I can see the judge being conflicted and still give him a sentence because it's the law but I cannot imagine a jury being willing to put a man in jail for killing someone that has caused so much destruction and that at that point wanted to blow up the entire city.
If anything it would have probably been 4 hours of Bruce Wayne arguing with the jury and judge that the law is the law, murder is murder no matter who it was done too and he had to face some punishment for an act that taints a person so deeply until they eventually got tired and conceeded to giving him a mid range murder conviction since he refused to get off the stand an innocent man.
Also couldn’t batman just cling to all the good he’s done? This is the equivalent of the teenagers killing jason voorhees and get time in prison because of it.
@@Oniri245 that implies he wants to get off easier. He didn't have to unmask himself in front of the Gotham police, and he could have easily accepted Clark's offer to walk them out of there. He probably pleaded guilty immediately and refused to settle for less than a full punishment.
The jury could have also hated him because he's a super rich trillionare who went around breaking people's bones and intimidating people for information
@@Oniri245 that's not how the law works you can't say look how good I am. If you break the law you break the law. Also vigilantes are illegal
This version of Clark was as totalitarian as the other. He just hadn’t been pushed over the edge.
Nonsense, to kill a joker is most normal thing to do..
@@adnanjusic4890 No hes talking about when superman said "We can do what ever we want, We have the power to stop them from hurting themselves." that hints towards him knowing hes better then the humans and he also has thought of taking over the world at somepoint.
@@ohverxa6851 he`s not wrong there
@@adnanjusic4890 when you're literally all powerful, those thoughts are just gonna be there. all the time. on the fringes. "i mean i could. i really could. maybe i even should.....but i won't. thats not how this works. i help where i can, but people have to have control of their own lives....but.... i could. if i wanted to. i really could...." ad infinitum.
All Superman ever wanted was Batman to be a friend... I’m not saying Batman should kill Joker but the meaning behind that expressed how much of a importance he held to this friendship. He never showed up when Superman was mourning.
But you can also see Superman adding a bit of his twisted beliefs into this dream
The injustice series is so good. The amount of heart and soul in this story....
In one timeline, this really did happen. Bruce was always more able to see shades of grey than Clark and yet while he doesn't regret it, he takes responsibility and sticks to his principles even after breaking his one rule.
While Joker had the last laugh.
Justice have been served.
Seriously, Joker should've been put down a long time ago for the hundreds of innocents he's killed.
Its like finding Osama Bin Laden and putting him in a mental asylum.
Well Actually no, Joker din't even had the satisfaction of get Batman becoming a killer.
Yeah, Joker in the made Batman Kill him but.
1-The main reason why he wanted him to do that was so Batman himself became a killer like him. To admit that his moral code was pointless and wrong, to morally compromise Batman.
And even when he manage to get that. Even when Batmana finally took his life, Batman din't become morally compromise, Batman/Bruce abaide to his moral code, that is why despite all, he let himself to be imprisioned, because is his way of saying that what he did was wrong, because his moral code demand that. So yeah Joker made Batman kill, but he actually never abandon his moral code. So the point he wanted to prove all along was never made.
2-Joker wanted Batman to kill him in a very personal and pasinate way. To look at Batman at the very eyes as he slowly suff his life out, and how did Batman kill him? Just a quick random neck snap, just like. Not drawn out battle, no drawn out passion, nothing, just a quick and unpersonal death, in a way Batman killin the Joker was not about the joker but about the damage he had done and what HE WAS about to cause in the future, it was about to stoping something worse from happening.
So basically, even when he manage to made Batman cross the line, he din't even got the last laught.
In the end, Batman truly defeated the Joker by not letting him break him or anybody else ever again.
And thus the Joker joins the big pile of "Generic Psycopaths that just kill for the sake of chaos and are all interchangable with one another" a sad clow whose jokes amuse no one else but himself.
I wouldn't even say that Joker got the last laugh. He got put down like the mad dog that he is, Bruce did a little time (by choice) and the world went on to be a better place.
Yeah it's all Batman's fault
@@RexMK- so does it mean batman won the joker ?
hundreds? instead say millions, he kills millions of people alone in this comic
I really wanted to see the reaction of Dick (Batman’s greatest success). Would he be mad at Bruce that he indoctrinated him for years like that just to break his own rule, or would he be proud at Bruce for sacrificing himself so Clark wouldn’t suffer.
probably proud i'd imagine
Relieved, because he knows a grieving Superman is dangerous.
Jason would be pissed, but proud later because Bruce finally took revenge.
Damien probably doesn't care.
@@jayjay86443 and Tim: excess of coffe can't let him think
Why? Bats killed that is true, but then surrendered himself to the law. He may have become criminal by killing Joker, but he was more than willing to serve his time, just like any other criminal would have.
He didn't kill and then ran away.
I think that Dick would be pissed only in specific situation, only when killing would become Batman's MO. But if it is only about killing one person, Joker on top of that, then Bats willingly serve time in prison, i think that Dick would understand it. Especially after Bruce would tell Dick, that Joker was planning on pushing Superman beyond the edge.
I feel dick would be disappointed. Bruce is the example that all flawed but well meaning heroes live by. The message would be ultimately skewed thanks to this act on the joker. Dick would honestly want bruce to never be the batman anymore as the vow of never killing would be broken. Putting on the bat uniform now would disgrace that message further. There would still be a batman. Just not bruce. Dick would probably take over, if not him, definitely tim. Tim wants to be batman even more than dick does, tim just never had the combat prowless that bruce, dick, or jason had. But with damien watching his back, it could work. Ultimately, dick from now on would regularly check in with bruce to make sure his adopted father isnt beating himself up too badly. Bruce would never quit trying to protect gotham either. He would become the next "oracle" or "man on the wall" Someone who still watches over gotham, but wouldnt trust himself to not kill. He always feared that, and killing joker would have proved his fears a reality. This would be joker winning, and bruce knew it too. Dick would know all this too, as he is one of bruces closest family members. When joker died, so did bruces batman.
Guards: *pull out weapons*
Clark and Bruce: So anyways...
POV: You tried to pull a gun on a rich crime fighting man dressed as a bat with multiple styles of attacking/fighting and a alien who could destroy the world if he wanted
4:21
I always thought about this/that. Superman can literally create *entirely new glaciers* in the span of minutes... Even though it wasn't Clark, I'm glad *someone* decided to do this.
He could've handed him to Clark, so he could toss him into the Phantom Zone..bye bye Joker...he can escape Arkham, but he definitely can't escape the Phantom Zone.
That was an option, but he knew in that moment Clark was going to kill the Joker. Maybe not right that moment, but what about the next time he tries? Or the time after that? Batman knew the world needed a superman who wasn't constantly in fear.
you underestimate the strength of his plot armor. exile him to the Phantom zone, he comes back in a year or two at the head of an army of phantom zone monstrosities that he's driven even MORE insane than they already were...eager to bring damnation to the mortal world becuase they were the ones who sent the Joker to them and made the zone so much, MUCH WORSE. The only way to deal with joker is to kill him from a distance (we found out what happens if you do it up close) and keep a SHARP eye out for secondary infections. The Bat that Laughs would not have happened, for instance, if they had just strapped the putz to an electric chair or gas chamber and executed him. (though 'd be careful about cremating the body...his ashes might pull a "return of the living dead", mix with the water table, and create Joker rain. or some such)
My dog
You didn't watch the Lego Batman Movie
@@alexsolomon7991 Exactly, the plot armor in Joker is too strong, you can´t keep him restrained or rehabilitate him, you kill him for good or you will have him back.
That hug was devastating. Also the though of a life never lived because the evil of one person is dark.
The judge probably was still in his pajamas on the trial date and just told Bruce "Dude, go home you're innocent it was the fucking Joker." as soon as he walked through the courthouse doors.
People don't get out as quickly as Bruce supposedly will if they're guilty of murder. The charges are probably for other illigal things batman did
@@elainegoates9792 Yeah, the joker stuff was probably ruled closer to putting down a rabid dog and they charged him for being a vigilante and property damage. Minimum they could give was probably those two years.
Batman while Joker is filling graveyards: I do not kill. That would make me no better than him.
The Joker messes with Superman.
Batman: Even I'm not stupid enough to piss him off. *breaks Joker's neck*
Though I do find it EXTREMELY weird that Bruce went to prison for it. Though to be honest, It's amazing he didn't end up suffering backlash from the families of everyone the Joker killed for not killing him sooner.
Because accordingly, since batman went "against" his morals and killed a man, he has to answer for it. Even though that man is one of the most evil, most vile, and messed up individuals in history, he still has to live
And if he didn't punish himself with consequences for murdering, Superman would probably start doing it too, thinking it's ok since batman did it and is Scott free.
Why do people always blame Batman for not killing Joker? Why isn't the failure of the police for being unable to handle him on their own? How about the courts that accept insanity pleas for supervillains or Arkham failing to contain him? Why is it Batman's fault for having some level of moral complexity beyond 'bad guy, me kill'? The psychology of Batman and how it reflects on his rogues gallery is one of the best things about him and people just shit on it to make a dumb point.
@@Zoidberryable After the second time someone escapes Arkham, you would think that Bruce would do something about it. Problem is it happens time and time again and they keep getting out, causing mayhem, and killing people.
I would have personally snapped the Joker's spine to limit his mobility if I didn't want to outright kill him.
@@Zoidberryable That's the thing, Arkham is probably the easiest place to escape from. You have people that don't even have gangs escaping every other day. The only reason Bruce doesn't kill is because he would be no better than the Joker. It would be far to easy to keep killing. The Joker lives because Bruce would become a monster. Similar to Superman, the guy lives in a world that would crumble so easily in his hands. Nothing would be able to stop him without Kryptonite.
In reality that's what a lot of these super heroes deal with. They have powers that could help them rule entire worlds, star systems, but they don't. I's not them, but the pressure to do it because it's easy weighs on them. Batman does carry the blame for not stopping the Joker. Not making sure he's locked away or dead. His greatest weakness is that he could never come back if he crossed the line.
This makes me so happy, the friendship of Bruce and Clark have where both are perfectly willing to give up their beliefs for the other, the family and peace that Clark deserves, and a world without the Joker
Clark just walking through the bulletproof grass to hug his buddy.
And major props to Batman for turning himself in and serving his time. Dude stands by his convictions.
This Batman: goes against his principles to protect his friend and save millions, yet still takes responsibility for his actions by going to prison. In essence, he killed his worst enemy and instead of going insane for some contrived reason, he simply lives the consequences of his actions without making a big song and dance about it.
Injustice Batman: doesn't learn a thing even after Joker nuked Metropolis, killing Lois and her unborn child as well as breaking Superman, proceeds to egg on Superman's breakdown by not helping him when his parents got kidnapped and by constantly opposing Superman which only drove him to even more extreme methods. Then he disowns his own son for killing a mass-murdering psychopath and he then employs Harley Quinn of all people, including making her a member of the Justice League. Let me repeat that like a prick: he employs his worst enemy's henchwoman who had a direct hand in the plot that killed millions and drove Superman insane and he even has her join the Justice League, essentially taking a metaphorical and literal dump on the ruins of Metropolis, the graves of millions, his friendship with Superman and everything he ever stood for, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's a self-righteous hypocrite who values his worthless principles over the lives of innocent people or even being a hero. He never once took responsibility for his actions or his complicity through inaction and all he ever did was look down on Superman from his moral high ground stacked atop a literal mountain of corpses from people he let die to uphold his principles.
Is it any wonder Superman went insane when he had to put up with people like that -- who, need I remind you, is supposed to be Superman's best friend, who was even asked to be the godfather to Superman's child? Jesus Christ...
no one ever really talks about the faults in batmans character
Beautifully worded and spot on the world was really crushing Superman and all he did was realize he could push back and in fact he could crush the world
Ikr I prefer this Batman that’s currently in the video
Hey... Jason Todd... that you?
Batman will always be my favorite! But even I have a hard time with the Harley thing (despite liking her in I2), and funny enough no one (not Wonder Woman, the Regime, not even Superman himself) seem to address that. Not once.
I like how, even with this “vision,” I guess, of what could have been, you can still see how warped this version of Superman had become with how he’s so willing to break laws and argue in the defense of killing Joker. You can still tell something’s a little off since Superman as he should be would never say something like *”He wasn’t a man”* to excuse killing, it just doesn’t line up with either him or Batman. And then you watch BvS and watch the both of them casually make more little Brice Waynes and you wonder how we ended up with Injustice being a better representation of DC.
Joker doesn’t deserve to live though. You should honestly get a reward for killing the man.
@@bobZfish even so, it’s not them. Even if you or I would 100% put Joker on the “too soon” joke list, doesn’t mean they would. They basically refuse to because they know once they start justifying it they’ll start abusing their power, which is exactly what happened to superman as he doesn’t stop making people’s pronouns was/were
@@skeetskeet7041 but again, its the joker, even the villain himself admit it wanting to do more bad things once the baby born
@@pp-vf8ls and again, that doesn’t matter. *We* may totally axe him, *they* wouldn’t. It’s part of their *core character traits that they do not kill.* Clark because he’s such a nice person and is basically the best of humanity, Bruce because once he goes down that path he knows he won’t be able to stop himself. It doesn’t matter how we would do it because we are not them and therefore would face totally different consequences. It’s like arguing that Red Hood would be fine killing joker so Batman should too
I’d argue with the death of joker
A judge: Bruce this is the 90th time we've been here with you, your free to go
Bruce: NO! I killed a man so I deserve to get time in prison!
Judge: But it was the joker. We should be giving you a Nobel peace prize but you traded it in to the government for prison time but they only gave you 60 minutes.
Bruce: Well to bad I killed so I must have a punishment
* superman bursts through a wall *
Superman: OK Bruce time to go * drags Bruce out *
Bruce: NO! NO! I KILLED A MAN * getting quieter and quieter * I KILLED! NOOOO!
Man literally walks through metal and probably bulletproof glass.
Prison Guards: "I guess we'll try shooting him?"
Batman: “I’d like to report a crime”
**goes to court**
Batman: “The courtroom is empty.”
Gordon: “Would you look at that? Looks like the judge is off today. Oh well, you’re free to go.”
Batman: “I can just wait for th-“
Gordon: “For god sakes Bruce, do I need to shoot the judge?”
Batman: Wait you shot the jury?
@@keithharrissuwignjo2460 Gordon: no bruce, the jury is absent because it was in statistically impossible to find anyone impartial! it Just so turns out everyone in the country, let alone the city has a rather positive bias to murdering the Joker.
@@GreaterGrievobeast55 Batman:...Even harley?
@@keithharrissuwignjo2460Gordon: especially harley
@@GreaterGrievobeast55 Gordon: Hell, the jury wanted to give you a tax break, a party and therapy.
Batman: I don't like any of those.
Gordon: Well, then.... that's what we'll be doing.
Batman: I don't deserve this.
Gordon: You're getting it.
Let’s be real, if Batman feels that he NEEDS to serve time in jail for killing Joker, then this is what’s gonna happen:
-Convicted for first degree murder: sentenced for one day in prison
-Fed a T-Bone steak, baked potato, lobster tail, anything he feels like having
-Stays in a cell with central air and heating
-Forced to sleep on a California king sized memory foam bed away from all the other prisoners
-Shower in his room with shower gel (so he doesn’t need to worry about dropping the soap)
-TV in his cell
In every single sane human being’s eyes, that’s “justice” being served for Batman killing the Clown Prince of Crime
And all the inmates go by an unspoken rule, further enforced by the COs: stay tf away from Bruce.
Everyone who saw him sent in solemnly agreed and will prevent him from being attacked, verbally or physically.
There is another thing. Can you imagine the riots of people, who knew someone killed by Joker? Or families of his victims?
I am really curious how they would explain that to normal people, that Bruce Wayne, billionare philanthropist who spent untold resources to help people, both with his company and with his own life, was conviced for 2 years cause he killed the worst criminal in the history of Gotham.
No to mention that many of those, who lost something/someone to the Gotham Criminals, may have been taken care for by different Wayne Foundations(especially the younger ones).
I think that ordinary people/people who was save thanks to Batman/Bruce Wayne, would not just accept it. Whether or not that would matter to Batman's sense of justice that is different story, but the fact is, that he would have the "will of the people" behind him, certainly more than some glorified politicians/judges. Hence i think that they would let Bruce go free, cause imprisoning him would cause a LOTS of unnecessary problems. Between two options, "getting justice for Joker" or "getting Bruce out of jail", the second option is more acceptable for people.
Not to mention, that if people knew that Superman is on their side in this specific case, they would rally around him in bid for Bat's freedom.
That's a very unrealistic conclusion.
now, realistically, he'd have all of the aforementioned things but with
- a 60 inch flat screen tv complete with any gaming console of his choice
- a built-in swimming pool inside his cell
- a grand piano in case he wants to play la campanella for some reason
- a thank-you card given directly by the president
- a thank-you video given directly by the UN
- a mailbox that receives fan letters and fanart directly from the joker's past victims
- a food court inside his cell manned by the greatest chefs the dc universe has ever produced
The moment Clark walks through the glass window to hug Bruce, to say Thank you for his tremendous sacrifice, coupled with the music… made that scene emotionally beautiful.
1:42 the literal meaning of "he's built different"
The amount of fan were AGAINST this decisions just sickens me to the core.
It's hard to tell whether they really batman fans or just secretly joker fans.
I almost shed tears for this ending. This is what Supes could have had but the Joker took it all away from him.
I guarantee if Clark wasn’t in the house when she said her first words, he DEFINITELY heard and zipped back home in a nanosecond.
This is ultimately my favourite version of the Injustice timeline; where even Batman realizes that there are people in this world that need to die, and that if he wasn't going to do it then Superman would and would corrupt everything he stood for. That, and people would live in fear of him and not in hope knowing Superman would never take another life.
According to the writer of Injustice (Tom Taylor), this was his 'love-letter' to the characters of Injustice before he finished writing the series.
It's basically his personal depiction of how he believes this Injustice world COULD (and should) have gone... a world where the characters acted more like themselves, and the heroes were truly the people we know.
To brake his belief for a friend......damn thaty FAMILY
I never realized how creepy Batman is when he’s no longer a hero, but a crazed vigilante. When he guessed Superman’s kid’s gender it was a bit scary, he seemed villain like behind bars. And that stern and analytic face of his makes his genius terrifying
Man it was 50/50 it was him joking
I refuse to believe anyone would jail him for killing the joker, they would probably be thanking him and be saying: fucking finally .
But that makes the story less cool also Batman probably would want to be in jail for it
For sure, once the joker killed enough people he became basically a terrorist, you wouldn't even think about it, but thing is he would still be arrested, and put in trial, and once that happens, he himself would tell the judge to ignore Jokers past and just Jail him for the first degree murder.
imo it makes the story seem a little more believable and less silly as being imprisoned for killing the joker. I honestly can't take this shit seriously.
@@vice2versa ya but you kinda need to know batmans character a bit more and the system in Gotham which is corrupt head to toe, they have a win win becaude they get batman off the streets and curruption rains supreme (plus one less outlaw to take care of), and batman in most universes where he breaks his code ends up becoming currupted, to the point where he start jutifying killing pretty much anyone, he basically becomes punisher, and thats why he NEEDS this for himself.
I don't think they jailed him for jokers murder, since they knew his identity he was jailed for beating up every criminal in Gotham for years and probably a few accounts of breaking and entering. And he was probably pardoned for most of that
2:03 Bro moment right there. Superman ready to stain his name just to get out his brother.
Honestly, moments like these are my favourite when it comes to Clark and Bruce. I don't care all that much about the "who would beat who" scenarios, I just love seeing these two be the best of bros.
I was deadass rolling on the floor when he literally walked through the wall
this one actually brought some water to my eye, your best friend kills to protect your child they never have to prove their loyalty again.
This speaks volumes about Superman he was willing to throw away everything he stood for in that moment to for his best friend..
Just like what Batman did for him
Except this is Injustice Superman. He is far more willing to do that. Just like the walking through the wall. It is a cool scene, but would main universe Superman do it? Breaking Bruce out is just another example of him not really caring about justice as much as the real Clark.
I totally didn't tear up a little
Prison Guard: “There’s…there’s a door right over there…you coulda just asked. You’re Superman, what’re we gonna say? No?”
Super man: sorry heat of the moment😅
This story is absolutely beautifully written
its hilarious.....biggest plot hole in Comic history...... "Why hasnt these criminals gotten the DEATH PENALTY from the gov?...makes no sense lol
The government does not decide The death penalty, a jury does. And let me tell you, having her with a jury will say it when it comes to the death penalty… Let you know idiots are among us.
Many states don't have death penalty and for good reason.

@@juanawatson Among the people executed, more than is comfortable were found innocent later on. Better to have scum rotting in jail, than to have innocents in the grave.
@@Ares99999 agreed
It’s one of the reasons I like Bruce more, he cares about everyone around him, he will do whatever it takes to win, to protect those he cares for, and of course he’s not perfect, he fails, he does wrong, he hurts those he tries his hardest to protect, but again that’s why I like him, he’s the loving embodiment of a compassionate human, not some god who’s literally invincible to all but a green rock, not some humanoid who can speak to fish and command them, not some cyborg, or super speedster, he’s human, and I feel that’s what makes him the best dc hero.
I like how Superman walks through the bullet proof glass with attitude of " Imma give my homie a hug. The world be damned"
