FIRECRACKER NOT BOMB?

[MOODY]

Has anyone thought that the bomb batman put in the strongman in batman returns was a firecracker, not a real bomb? Also, the explosion was too small......

[johnnygobbs]

Well that's the rationalisation people use to defend the accusations that Batman kills in Returns.  It's certainly an option IMO, but I know from previous discussions that there are many members on this site who disagree.

Given the fact that other clowns were using RPGs and hand grenades I would say the likelihood of it being an actual bomb is quite good.

[Gotham Knight]

It was a bomb. And that's okay. The de facto rule that bats doesn't kill is just that...de facto. It's okay if he kills.

[The Dark Knight]

I'm overconfident it was a real bomb. People can say otherwise, but frankly, I think this is a point people need to accept. Burton's Batman kills.

The strongman was not going to have a shocked facial expression over a firecracker.

i dunno, firecrackers look like they hurt. he might have.

I think it was a bomb and that Batman probably killed the guy.  And I'm fine with that.

That having been said, if a mild firecracker blew up in my hand, meh, it's happened before.

If a firecracker the size of that bomb was anywhere near my junk, yeah, I'd probably have a horrified look on my face too.

[Paul (ral)]

Wouldn't a firecracker that size be technically called a bomb anyway 

[Catwoman]

prolly.

now i know what i can do near 4th of july

Well, in my version, that is a bomb and the strongman was given a quick funeral service - death, burial and cremation.
