Why BATMAN Doesn't Use Guns (Except When He Does) || Comic Misconceptions || NerdSync

Binge the entire #Batober playlist! ▶▶    • Is BATMAN a Superhero or Just a Hero?...  

One of Batman's biggest rules besides "no killing" is to also never use guns. However, in the Golden Age of comics, the Caped Crusader used guns all the time. So why was Batman changed from gun-wielding murderer to rule-abiding vigilante? And what exactly is the Dark Knight's "one rule"? We're diving into the history of Batman to learn why he doesn't use guns anymore, and if his rule against killing is more of a loose guideline. Because Batman has definitely killed before.
