Batman: What Joker Thinks Of Every Gotham Hero
12. Azrael
You know how in friend groups, there's always that one kid who isn't quite friends with anyone, but hangs out with them because they think there's a chance of getting free snacks from them? That's Azrael.
The flaming sword is some great phallic imagery for sure, but it doesn't counteract the fact that the guy is a walking time bomb without any villainous interference.
And where's the fun in that? If Batman gets offed by some jerk with anger issues and a magic piece of metal, people are going to be disappointed.
Especially the new Azrael. They just seem to get more and more villainous, even if the armour gets cooler at the same time.
Also, is the whole Azrael thing a little cult-like to anyone else? The "Order of Purity" sounds like they should be handing out promise rings, not creating human weapons of potential mass destruction. That's supposed to be my job.
