:::Batman's disdain for guns seems to be a fairly recent invention. He used guns in ''The Dark Knight Returns'', and he carried a sidearm in his early comic book days. And as Stan pointed out, he had no issues with trying to fill the Joker full of lead in the first Tim Burton film. I haven't kept up with the comic of late, but he doesn't seem to mind if Red Hood uses guns when they team up, as long as he doesn't shoot to kill. Alfred used shotguns in ''Justice League: War'' and ''Son of Batman'', so there are definitely some loaded guns in the Batcave. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 07:51, 24 March 2016 (EDT) | :::Batman's disdain for guns seems to be a fairly recent invention.

Revision as of 12:49, 24 March 2016
Batman gadgets from SDCC 2015
It looks like Batman will be using an FN EGLM and flashbangs: seen here. Weirdly though, although the flashbang looks like a CTS Model 7290, it is labelled as a Model 6500 from what looks like a company called EFS. I tried googling them and came up with nothing so instead I searched for the address which is printed on the grenade, and lo and behold it is the address of Independent Studio Services. It seems that they make their own mock ups of the CTS grenades, but have slightly changed the labelling and trade marks for (I assume) legal reasons. --commando552 (talk) 14:30, 9 July 2015 (EDT)
New image from Empire Magazine
A new image from Empire magazine was released today [Link}. Batman appears to have a rifle slung around his back. If you brighten the image, you can get a slightly better look at it. IMO, it looks a bit like an FN SCAR. Any thought? Andrewj28 (talk) 18:45, 26 January 2016 (EST)
- I'm pretty sure it is the same weapon as the SCARs that Lex's guards have, it has that same distinctive grey upper on a black lower. Some SCARs look like this and I think it is indicative of something, but I cant remember what. --commando552 (talk) 19:17, 26 January 2016 (EST)
Interesting
Does anyone else find it interesting that Batman has guns in his armory? I always figured that, given his feelings about them, he wouldn't want them anywhere near his equipment.--Sasquatch the Reaper (talk) 01:02, 24 March 2016 (EDT)
- I don't find it all that surprising. Some interpretations may have Bats showing or espousing anti-gun sentiment but Batman has in fact used firearms in several comics as well as the first Keaton/Burton film. StanTheMan (talk) 01:10, 24 March 2016 (EDT)
