there goes the "he'll do his best to save people no matter what". He was willing to sacrifice the entire prison population of Arkham City in order to save Talia and only because of intervention from Alfred and Barbara, he did not go after her. It doesn't matter who you are or how down you are, he'll do his best to save you.
Like he has in countless other plots.Īlso, using hindsight and information the player could not have been aware of the first time playing to bolster your argument is a terrible argument. He could have saved Ra's whilst neutralising him and saving Nyssa. He's a genius who can formulate plans further than "meh, you can die".
So no, the "right" choice in regards to Batman was to save Ra's, take him into custody, whatever. "Do you want to know something funny? Even after everything you've done.I would have saved you." Even if that decision leads to more death. Hell, in Arkham City Joker was dying of a disease of his own making, yet Batman still said at the end he would have saved Joker and given him the cure. Alfred's weak justifications that Ra's had already died countless times, and therefore Batman "killing" him by ripping away his life support wasn't immoral was the perfect justification to save Ra's, because Alfred's argument came across as weak, callous and short-sighted. And Batman has to live with that.Īnd yes there was a moral dilemma. That's the entire conceit of Batman: his moral choice not to kill often leads to more death and suffering.
Batman could kill them all and prevent death and suffering. I, personally, saw no problem with picking that choice the first time I did the mission because, let's be honest here, Ra's was on life support at this point in time.Įverything you said could have been applied to countless Batman villains. Letting him live longer would just bring about more pain and destruction to Gotham. He has grown addicted to it and I'll come back to break that addiction".ĭestroying the pit is the right choice though. That dialogue especially comes off weird because in Arkham City, Batman says and I quote "I told Ra's to shut his pit down. Simply because I don't think there was any reason for a moral dillema.ĭestroy the machine and let the man finally die by a natural process or let him prolong his life via unnatural means to keep on terrorizing and killing others (If you let him live, he kills Talia's sister) and vanishes. Originally posted by Crimsomrider:Out of that entire mission, the only thing that felt wrong was the dialogue between Batman and Alfred which felt forced by the developers and did not come off as natural.
