it's wild that we adopted this moral line but not "wow torture sucks actually" to the point where torture is a mostly unexamined and totally accepted part of Batman's toolkit, usually depicted as getting info from thugs. but man, even 24 kinda walked back the torture thing a bit before the end!!

This is my fave part of Batman: Reptilian - Ennis implicitly highlighting how a normal person wouldn't need to say they don't kill people, sort of like "My 'I don't kill' Batsuit has people asking a lot of questions that are already answered by my Batsuit"

Not killing the villain allows a sequel, and in many cases allows the whole story to even happen. People, as always, confused a narrative device for a moral lesson.

Killing the villain at least often actually accomplishes something Torture sucks both morally and as a means of getting real information

and btw, Daredevil makes Batman look like a saint. His MO is just to head to a bar and beat up EVERYBODY until somebody talks. Literally just treats poor people like stress balls

Only thing Iβve seen the effectiveness of torture depicted honestly in is The Report (2019) which is the point.

to add to that - its shocking how many times I have seen "I know torture is bad, that is why I am going to let this guy do it" in stories with out any irony or examination of what that means.
