Without Batman, only about 38 percent of passengers stood up for the pregnant woman. With Batman, that number leapt to roughly 67 percent. More than two-thirds of riders suddenly remembered they were human beings capable of empathizing with others.

And all it took was the presence of a semi-fascist but admittedly still quite cool lunatic dressed like a bat whose concept of justice begins and ends at beating the s—t out of people with severe mental health issues.

    “Severe mental health issues” is being rather flippant with batmans rouges gallery. Most are mass murders, many on the genocidal side at that.

    Beating someone to stop them killing tens/hundreds/thousands/millions is pretty easy moral math, no matter how many times it happens.
