Create an army of perfectly lifelike magical constructs. Capture Batman and take him to a secure area, like a remote island or moonbase, staffed mostly by your constructs. Proceed to have them attack him in increasing numbers and with greater lethality, with the first few easy knockouts leading to 'accidental' self destructions.

Then you need to taunt him about just making more, until he begins using kill shots. Then you add the real humans to the fray. Unfortunately the writer decided Batman can see through the plan, because he can, but it sounds solid otherwise.

Batman had no problem plugging a hole in Darkseid with some kind of new god magic bullet. It didn't actually kill darkseid but Batman was definitely trying to do it.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


The funny thing is, later in the movie Selina reveals her plan to kill Max Shreck and Bruce lectures her like, "Wait a minute... who do you think you are!?" Like, you've done worse, Batsy, and recently at that!

Burton's Batman is based more on the early comics I posted a picture of, but he's pretty inconsistent with being okay to kill because when it's Catwoman doing it, he suddenly gets all indignant.

I just thought of one. Have Mad Hatter trick Batman into thinking he's fighting Solomon Grundy. Grundy's basically a zombie so Batman won't hesitate to go lethal on him... in reality, he's fighting Bane or Killer Croc (or similar muscular criminal,) so while he thinks he's disposing of a zombie, he's actually committing homicide.

Okaythe bomb in Batman returns blew up with confetti. It was more a dark prank than an actual bomb.

now, the head-first falling down a manhole right before might have killed the guy anyway, but thats besides the point.

same thing sorta happened in the first Keaton movie. Henchmen dies as Batman fights him off, but he tried to save joker.

I love it. It's just a bit too much like the start of the Injustice game's/comic's story.

However, having Injustice but with Batman Who Laughs would be intriguing...

Are you being serious Philip

Yes? I've literally never heard of him established as having an explicit no kill rule (although he still tends to not actually kill his opponents anyway, probably because it wouldn't be very heroic, and that sort of thing isn't conducive to believably keeping his rogues gallery of recurring villains around); I've only heard of no guns. Whenever events come about that make him have to use a gun (and it isn't as a result of brainwashing or something similar), even if he never actually kills anyone with it, it's always played for seriousness and drama because his personal rule against the use of guns has always been a defining element of his character and backstory.

For instance, the opening of Batman Beyond depicts him being forced to draw a gun to intimidate some basic mooks when his age and deteriorating condition leaves him unable to fight them off like he otherwise would. That event is enough to convince him that it was time to retire himself as Batman, even without ever actually firing the gun.

The "no kill" thing is much more explicitly established as being Superman's thing. If he ever is forced to kill someone, it's played just as dramatically (such as with regard to Zod in Man of Steel)

But how would he shoehorn Johnny Depp wearing a stupid costume and doing a silly accent into Batman?

Actually, I take that back. Carry on.

That sort of loses all credibility when the death you arent saving them from is one that you caused though.

Under Batmans orders. Using equipment lent to him by Batman for that express purpose. Then Batman beat and subdued Ras for long enough that he was unable to escape the doomed train.

No matter how you try to spin it, Batman straight up murdered the guy.

Hire three actors, two men and one woman.

Tie one man up. Have the other man place the woman in a chokehold and have them act as if the man is going to kill the woman.

Use Scarecrow toxin to make Batman believe that the tied up man is his father and the woman is his mother.

Let the scene play out.

Batman no kill rule only applies to humans I think, he laxes it for threats outside street crime.

also he will decide not to save someone, but that doesnt count as killing. He did that to the joker who tied up with a building set to explode.

Or....we could not do something that's been beaten to death over the last 30 years.

No offense if you were being completely sincere but "psycho/corrupt Superman" is something that I feel the world needs less (or absolutely none) of, not more.
