In his attempts to deliver justice, Batman has had to break the law of heroes
It is no secret that Batman is a powerful force of justice that keeps Gotham City's criminals at bay. However, his methods have been questionable on many occasions, as he sometimes acts in a way that seems to put him above the law. And this is important to point out, since Batman, as his vigilante, has broken the rules.
Some crimes committed by Batman are even justified and understandable. But there are also others that go beyond simple infractions on the streets when driving their vehicles. That is why we have taken the time to compile a list of the occasions in which the hero has broken the rules of superheroes.
Batman always manipulates the evidence of cases
Batman usually arrives early at a crime scene and can tamper with evidence.
Because many crimes occur at night, when Batman is on patrol, then It is quite common for the hero to arrive at crime scenes long before the police, paramedics and investigators. And because of this, they almost always end up tampering with evidence before the forensic team does its job.
This has been seen on several occasions, such as in Superman/Batman comic #1where we can read that Batman prefers to beat the police in the race to get to the crime scene, since that way, on his own, he can investigate what happened without problems.
Batman vehicles are not insured
We already know that Batman has an arsenal of highly advanced technological devicesas well as armored and heavy-duty vehicles. A good example of this is the Batmobile. However, this vehicle is not insured, so it becomes a liability issue.
But the Batmobile is not the only bat vehicle, because It also has the Batgliderfor example, which is also not insured and the hero has used to fly even within the city, putting other people's buildings at risk.
Batman violated the Outer Space Treaty
The time Batman planted and activated mines on the moon violated the Outer Space Treaty
One of the reasons for the existence of the Outer Space Treaty is prevent and regulate the militarization of space. However, Batman has violated this regulation, which is a pretty serious crime.
In Justice League comic #1 by Scott Snyder, Jim Cheung and Mark Morales we can see Martian Manhunter, who is the leader who tries to prevent the planet from being destroyed. So, on one occasion, when they were trying to prevent the planet from being annihilatedthe Martian asked Batman to activate the mines he had placed on the moon.
Having mines on the moon is a perfect example of militarization of space, something that should not be done. But that's not all, since Batman built a Watchtower that watches over the planet. These are quite complex situations as far as the law is concerned.
Batman has been involved in cloning projects
In one of the many Batman stories, written by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, we can find one in which Bruce Wayne created a human cloning project. Basically, He wanted to make sure the world never lacked a Batman.so he decided to clone himself to protect the future.
There's no denying that Batman's presence is A very good card against villains and these have been noble intentions. But beyond that, cloning is an illegal practice, so the fact that Bruce has created an entire complex system of it in secret creates a huge ethical problem.
We could define the Bat-Family as a street gang
The Bat-Family falls under the definition of a street gang
The existence of the Bat-Family is a very positive thing for the city, as it allows it to keep its streets under surveillance with greater versatility, since the heroes can be in different places and keep everything safe. However, although this initiative makes sense and is very good, the truth is that when you put together the concept of vigilante and formal organization, so we have a street gang. Not to mention that these people usually cover their identities, so in essence, they function as a kind of criminal mafia.
We also have the fact that many of the Robins, when they started, They were minorsso this is another serious crime, exposing them to danger.
