Are pretty stupid. It's stupid to think you're going to kill zero people if you're getting into street fights all the time with people who are trying to kill you.
I'm watching the new season of Daredevil and I'm starting to think the whole idea of being a vigilante who fights criminals with his fists and never wants to kill is a ridiculous idea. Not wanting to kill if you can help it is one thing, but having a hard-line stance and ragging on vigilantes like Punisher who do kill is hypocritical considering how difficult it would be to not kill at all in the situations you'd have to be in.
Same goes for Batman of course.
If you have to fight hardened criminals who might be trained, have weapons, and fight several of them at the same time, and they have the intent to kill you, you're going to have to hit them hard enough that they can't be a threat to you. There's no way you can do that by guaranteeing they're not going to die or at the very least have serious long-term brain damage. Anybody who knows fighting knows that if someone doesn't get up within a few seconds after getting KOed, there's a serious problem. Some of these criminals are also going to die when they get home from internal bleeding as well.
Yeah I know these are just comic book characters but it's kind of funny how they are so self-righteous about not killing but have no problem with beating people down with blows that could potentially kill. Like a few knees to the face or an elbow to the back of the head is totally harmless. I don't know why Batman doesn't just use like a tazer machine gun if he's that concerned with not killing.
