Comment on After watching batman throw around explosives left and right I no longer believe batman doesn't use guns because of some sort of moral quandary but rather he just prefers the challenge.

You address it in the first part of your comment but if batman has no problem using lethal bombs than why not a gun? That is where I am at.

It has to be he specifically doesn’t like guns. Other commentors say he doesn’t like guns because his parents were shot. Which is fine but kinda misses the point imo. It’s like he heard someone say, “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” Then was like nuh-uh but never moved that logic to, I dont know, incendiary weapons. Anyone, I’m way out in the weeds here.

A batman that uses guns is not as entertaining. I can agree on that much.

Yeah, he specifically doesn’t like guns, and it’s because his parents were shot. Other weapons are fine. Even a grappling gun is fine. A gun that shoots bullets is not fine because it reminds him of how his parents died.

  I take it, it’s less of a moral thing and more of a trauma response thing.
