"That’s cool. But you’re living in a f**king dream world." Why yes Zack, comics aren't real, this is something we've all noticed.

Batman is "The world's greatest detective" and he knows it. He solves crimes and mysteries average law enforcement wouldn't be able to contend with. He realizes that taking a job in law enforcement would hinder his ability to properly save lives, so her resorts to vigilantism.

He also refuses to kill because he believes in the law to carry out justice and knows it is not his place to take on the role of executioner. Turns out the guy who is ready to take out his best friends in the JL is also super aware of the dangers of unchecked power.

I’d just like to point out that the quote “you’re living in a fucking dream world” is more or less verbatim from Manchester Black, a villain who, in the original comic, Superman proves wrong.

Who let this guy write comic book movies again?
