7 Awesome Movie Heroes Who Totally Belong In Jail

2. Bruce Wayne - Batman Begins

The Hero: Bruce Wayne, orphan and heir to a whopping legacy, spends years training in the mountains with the League of Shadows, where he learns the skills that will eventually allow him to become Batman, a symbol of light that he hopes will purge Gotham City of its criminal associations. Bruce ends up battling his former mentor, Ra's al Ghul, who returns to burn Gotham into the ground, though he manages to stop that from happening. Smart, athletic, cunning, imbued with great morals and a righteous sense of justice: he's the hero that Gotham deserves. Jail? You Can't Be Serious? Remember earlier in this article when I said it would have been fine if Tony Stark had just operated under his Iron Man alias instead of parading himself about like the ego-machine that he is? Well, considering that Bruce Wayne operates under a disguise, I'm not considering his blatant acts of law-breaking vigilantism as jail-worthy, because... well, there's nobody to blame if nobody knows who he is, and Bruce is pretty good when it comes to ensuring public safety. Or is he? Think back to the beginning of Batman Begins, where Bruce is taken under Ra's al Ghul's wing. Things are going great for most of this part: Bruce learns an assortment of super cool skills, and eventually proves himself to be a great warrior capable of outsmarting his mentor. But everything turn kind of sour when Ra's asks Bruce to execute a thief on account of some wrong-doing that took place off-screen. Bruce refuses to do this, because this is a Batman movie, and - realising that he doesn't really want to be a part of such a group - sets the place ablaze. And in doing so, he murders at least a dozen €œinnocent€ people. Seriously. As he makes his getaway, he knocks a bunch of ninjas unconscious and leaves them inside the building whilst it explodes into a million pieces. Granted, it wasn€™t exactly planned that way, but Bruce would€™ve killed far less people should he have just done what Ra's al Ghul asked him to do in the first place. And that thief our hero refused to execute? Probably killed in the flaming horrors of his mad escape. That's a lot of blood on your precious Batman's hands, don't you think? Recommended Sentence: 10 years (with parole, for all the good he's done)
