Throughout its long history, Batman he has used hundreds of gadgets to fight against his enemies. From his fists, through bat-shaped boomerangs, to some spray capable of defeating sharks. However, we hardly ever see him carrying a gun. While it has always been clear that the Dark Knight does not use these types of weapons, a recent comic finally gives us a clear reason for this decision.
In the sixth comic Batman: The Knight, a series created by Chip Zdarsky, recognized for his work on Daredevil and Howard the Duck, we can see a bit of the history of this interpretation of Batman. After the murder of his parents, Bruce begins to come under the tutelage of Luka Jungoalso known as The Swiss Mark, and it is here that the main reasons why Batman does not use weapons are revealed.
The first of these is that his teacher hates weapons, and Bruce only entered Anton, a friend of the millionaire, to defend the defenseless. Jungo’s mission is to disarm the world, a task he inherits from Batman. As if this were not enough, our protagonist has pointed out that “it is very easy”which not only refers to how easy it is to pull a trigger, but would also turn Batman into a hero who isn’t interested in improving his hand-to-hand combat and mental skills.
As if this weren’t enough, the trauma of seeing his parents die is repeated once when Anton shoots Jungo in an altercation in the comic. Thus, it becomes clear why Batman just doesn’t want to make use of traditional firearms. Of course, throughout history we have seen a couple of exceptions, as in the first chapter of batman beyondalthough the hero regrets it immediately after shooting.
