the residuals would go to your creator not to you. And creators don't tend to share with their creations.

On the other hand if you are a fictional character, so am I.

And so is Wayne LePierre - which actually would explain a few things.

You may be on to something about LaPierre. I was actually wishing the Code Pink people would shut up. Nothing they could possibly have said or done could be worse for the NRA than allowing LaPierre to keep talking.

....that Batman should be armed with a gun as well.



Next movie instalment. Just wait and see, he'll have an AR-15

Wonder woman uses a lasso. Aqua man calls on fish. Yet despite all this...Wayne would demand they all have a CCP, to line the pockets of his masters in the gun industry.

In the beginning back in 1939, he did use a gun to kill (supernatural creatures), and I remember a comic from the 1990s where after disabling Deathlok, he used his gun to make a near impossible shot to disarm another assassin, but he was torn up over having to use it.

NERD-RAGE!
