@theblazeuk: Very true. Until the insane murderer continues to break free and murder time and time again. I think you lose your shot at pity around time number 3 or so.

@FrankenPC: Have you read this anthology? Plenty of original takes in here, plus some good old fashioned style ones as well.

@VergessenHeld: I know that. I think it's lame after a certain point. I'm all for principles, but after the first dozen times the Joker escapes and murders however many people, you have to draw up a new plan.

This is why Batman's refusal to kill the Joker has always struck me as ridiculous.

@telecomic was a race car driver: Well, when you put it that way it sounds a lot more reasonable than the usual PINK HAT BANDWAGON!!!11 talk you hear online. Then again, my bad for expecting reasoned discourse on the internet.

@boomer4d: The relative sexual merits of all women must be picked over on the internet but ugly fat men.

@Who's Cartwright?: this is a joke right?

@Nine Bill Muellers: Maybe we have different copies of the internet.

I know it's funny to laugh about people who were successful at something at one time and then are not as much as they used to be, but:

@ReelMissing: I've thought about Walter thousands of times in my life, but for some reason this aspect of it never occurred to me. I guess it isn't that funny in real life. Damn.

@hugesunglasses: Haha. I wish I could say I knew how that was. I really do. I didn't let my father down until I was in my twenties though. Kind of worse that way innit?
