However, even if you don't intend to kill anyone, I still don't think that you would be justified in hunting down random criminals without public authority. Alrighty. Returning to Batman, I think it depends on the comic author's interpretation on whether he has "public authority" or not. Most of the time, though, in any story arc where Batman has been established for a while, the chief of police (Gordon) works closely with him. So if he's not officially deputized, the Gotham police unofficially accepts him as a necessity. In the Animated Series (which I liked) Batman was pretty much always working with Gordon. I just saw one a couple nights ago where Gordon is with him in a Helicoptor. In the series Gordon certainly had no problem with him. |

And Batman and Gordon worked even closer in an official capacity in the 1960's series. In that series, Batman was referred to as a deputized agent of the law. |

Since I grew up with The Animated Series, that version of Batman is basically the "canon" one to me. It's certainly the Batman that always comes to my mind first, no matter how many comics or movies I've read or seen since. |

"It preaches that not only in civil affairs, which is not Our concern here, but also in religion, God has given every individual a wide freedom to embrace and adopt without danger to his salvation whatever sect or opinion appeals to him on the basis of his private judgment. The apostle Paul warns us against the impiety of these madmen" (Pope Leo XII, Ubi Primum, n. 12).
"Likewise, peace is rooted in respect for religious freedom, which is a fundamental and primordial aspect of the freedom of conscience of individuals and of the freedom of peoples. It is important that everywhere in the world every person can belong to the religion of his choice and practise it freely without fear" (Pope Benedict XVI, Address to Five New Ambassadors, 18 May 2006).

You have a weird definition of canon, dude! Well, you know what I mean. Give TAS credit for the fact that it introduced Harley Quinn into the comic canon. |

The cosplayers would probably be fat chicks, anyway.
