Blane Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Has Batman EVER used a gun? I've always wondered this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheap Heat Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 He used one in his second comic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 ***POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT*** Someone correct me if I'm wrong about any of this, because I'm going on vague recollections: I believe he recently used one in the Batman/Superman series out right now. He shot some punk and things spiralled out of control from there on. It was a "what if Batman never existed?" sort of scenario, but it actually happened in the linear progression of the story and Clark Kent had to change history back to normal with Bruce's parents being murdered. It was a REALLY dramatic moment when Kent helped Wayne re-realize who he really was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLee Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 In Batman Year Two (which I believe was ret-conned out of continuity,) he used one to fight The Reaper. I don't think he actually killed anyone with it, but he was going to kill Joe Chill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted May 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Hmm it just seemed like they tried to make him avoid guns at all costs so I imagined it was possible that he would never use one. I am actually kind of relieved that he has at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He grabs the gun and shoots the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 There's an issue of Nightwing where Dick flashes back to a time when Bruce taught how to shoot and throw guns. The idea being that "we always respect them and know how they work even though we don't use them." There's also an issue of Detective or Batman (can't recall which) where Batman uses a sniper's rifle to shoot a gun (?) out of someone's hand. (Then again, as has been pointed out, he used to carry one in his very early adventures.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
