Comic-book Batman hasn't killed anyone since the 50s.

 

Which Comic book Batman?

 

After Bruce Wayne had his back broken, I beleive the New Temp Batman killed a villain or two...was supposedly to have killed the Joker...but like all Super heroes...Super Villains always come back as well.

 

Then there was the entire Batman shooting a gun incident...though it is explained that technically that was a clone of Bruce Wayne....and the Real Bruce Wayne being tossed back in time (when finally the REAL heir becomes Batman instead of some pretender like the last time Bruce was out of the picture).

 

Sorry...

 

Just being snarky...

 

I know what you meant...and I suppose you're right.

 

We'll Call Garrus modelled after the "MOVIE" batman...though technically that's more of...he doesn't really kill the villain...he just doesn't save them.

The original embargo for Batman not killing was made in 1940 after Batman #1 featured Batman gunning down giant men (created by Hugo Strange) from his batplane. Editor Whitney Ellsworth put a stop to Batman killing (this was a shrewd move - there was already anti-violence in comics rumblings at that time anyhow - which is why National/DC hired William Moulton Marston to write testimonials on the positive effects of comics - which would ultimately lead to Wertham and the kefauver hearings...)

 

That said I believe Batman traditionally took the pulp way out - the villain was killed by their own mechanizations at the end.

I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

So... he has killed someone.... thank you.

 

And, it seems to me that it's not Batman's 'morality' stopping him from killing again but real world morality police.

Actually considering all the alternative-worlds mumbo jumbos and the thousands of "crisis" the DC universe has been through, I wouldn't be surprised if canon Batman hasn't killed anyone despite those issues in the 50s.

I had a good fanboy-slobber at that.

Cerberus first spends billions of credits to rebuild Shepard, then when the Reapers finally arrive decide to remove the last, best hope of humanity? Or will they only be hostile if SHepard blew up the Collector base?

While it seems up front they'd go through that trouble for Shepard only to turn on him.. but, maybe, the plan was to use Sheaprd all along to get reaper tech. So, if youd ecided to keep the base they no longer need you and if you blow it up, he's pissed at you either chocie leading to him making you enemy #1.

Hopefully the Reapers don't get held off until Shepard gets the band of heroes together.

The combat is described as "more dynamic", forcing players to move quickly. "Game rhythm" is 10-15 per cent faster.

 

Press A for awesome? :o

 

Just kidding, if they get the movement little less clumsy from what it was is ME2, this might be a good thing. I just wonder how that heavy melee is going to fit in..

I really, really don't like where they've taken the plot of the trilogy. It just seems that they never really extensively planned out the story arc beforehand and are scrambling to make something coherent, as the reapers, as they were introduced in the first game, were simply too powerful a foe to be plausibly defeated.
