Interesting point. Which side do you think the Caped Crusader would take?
- angryasian 13y agobased on the fact that he gave Fox control to destroy his cell phone surveillance. I think he would be pro snowden
- yen223 13y agoBased on the fact that he had a cell phone surveillance system, he'd probably be pro-NSA.
- Pitarou 13y agoI'm enjoying this.
- saraid216 13y agoBatman is an amazingly great epitome of libertarian paradox.
- bradleysmith 13y agoThat's why he's always so moody. Cognitive dissonance.
- sliverstorm 13y agoI'd go even further to say that's why he is one of the most compelling superheros
- saraid216 13y ago...wish fulfillment power fantasy is not my idea of a compelling character.
- sliverstorm 13y agoI'm talking about the dissonance of his figure, and I think you realize that. I didn't say every single facet of the character was compelling.
- drdeca 13y agoDidn't he decide that the thing he set up was too powerful for anyone to have though? (in at least one version, iirc, etc. etc.)
- sliverstorm 13y agoSure, but that didn't stop him from using it, did it?
- philbarr 13y agoYes - because he was the only one morally sound enough, in his opinion, to use it. Much like the NSA and GCHQ.
- yen223 13y agoWe like our superheroes to kick some villain's butt without pesky 'due process' getting in the way. Kinda like the NSA, if you think about it.
- ISL 13y agoBatman prefers due process.
- saucetenuto 13y agoAfter he's kidnapped you.
- sliverstorm 13y ago"I'd like you to meet the bastions of justice, my right jab Due and my left hook Process. Say hello!" -- Batman
- rayiner 13y agoThe whole premise of the movie was that sometimes that kind of surveillance is necessary to save society.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoBut the person who controlled that surveillance knew when to destroy it.
