Batman's Moral Code makes him just as harmful as the villains he pursues.

It has been seen in numerous movies, comics, and television shows, that batman actually does physically harm and/or destroy Gotham city and it's inhabitants. His repeated inaction to dispose of his rivals has cause the injuries of thousands of people, and in "re-pursuit" of several villains, namely The Joker, he himself has injured multiple civilians and Police Officers in his mission to re-capture said villain. Had Batman properly disposed of these villains the first, or second, or maybe even third time, then Gotham would have been saved from millions of dollars in damage. Batman is not only despised by most of Gotham City's population, but is seen as another bad guy. So while he may essentially be a "good" guy, no-one really wants him there. Also, there are many other ways to help Gotham improve that he just completely and totally ignores. Bruce Wayne is a Billionaire. Everyone knows that. And yet, instead of using his many massive corporations and nearly limitless supply of money to help rebuild Gotham, he runs around beating villains up, and throwing them in the same broken-down, unsecured, and pathetic excuse for a prison, known as Arkham asylum. Bruce Wayne is the one who can fix Gotham, not his morally incompetent, sociopathic counterpart. Gotham needs their problems ELIMINATED, like a cockroach, not temporarily contained until it feels like strolling around again. Arming your police force properly, with the technology he hoards for his own selfish reasons, would be a much more logical and helpful decision for Gotham's benefit. There are ways to help Gotham, and Batman simply is not the correct answer. He is ineffective and out-dated, and simply must go. His abuse of money and technology are ridiculous. The Crime rate of Gotham city IS improved with Batman's presence, but it is simply not enough. Villains escape on a weekly basis; even the Joker says he finds the asylum as more of a "break room". Robin has been quoted as saying "70th time he's escaped...' (Hush, volume 2). 70 Times, the Joker alone has escaped. All of the Bruce Wayne/Batman Story-line is said to take place in roughly a 10 year span, which means he Joker has been caught and sent to the Asylum a minimum of 7x a year. That is RIDICULOUS on every level. A mass murderer walks free on your streets, out in the open, and all because Batman refuses to put him down... If you ask me, that's about 70 escapes too many. If you want to be a useful tool in he saving of Gotham city, then you need to know what has to be done. He can't just lock them up in there and hope that somehow it's more secure than last time. That's just ignorance, and it is causing harm to the city he claims to protect. I urge you to see that on Batman's current path, he will never improve the terrible, crime-ridden streets of Gotham City. It is simply not possible, and clearly, it has not been working very well. 70 escapes by a single individual, one who is responsible for over 2000 known deaths; That is just unacceptable. There is a thin line between selfishness and selflessness, and batman has yet to show selflessness. He chose to be the "Hero Gotham deserves", not "The Hero I want to be for Gotham". He took up that mantle, and now it's time to grit his teeth and pull the trigger, or go back home and hang up the suit. I urge you to vote Pro in this matter, as clearly you can see that Batman's Selfish Moral values are not progressive for Gotham, but harmful to it and all of it's citizens. His incompetence and ignorance are colossal, and the records of his enemies show that.
