Osama bin Laden is captured in Gotham City by local police

Osama bin Laden is captured in Gotham City by local police.

He pleads insane, and so the Gotham Courts send him to Arkham.

How does this work for the Joker exactly?

I don't think he could get away with an insanity plea, he'd go to Blackgate.

>The most wanted terrorist in the country's history
>Captured in Gotham by local police
>Tried in Gotham courts

That's not how it works you little shit.

Joker already made deals with terrorists to wipe out Israel or something. Joker already runs with better terrorists than Osama.

Death in the Family says otherwise.

Osama rapes him, obviously.

That's exactly my point.

The Joker fits that description too
>One of the nations most wanted terrorists with probably the highest kill count
>No identity -> Not an American citizen -> Foreign terrorist
>Get's captured

Why the hell is he being tried by a Gotham court when he should in the least be tried by the feds and sent to guantanamo? Or more likely get a federal execution.

The Joker is a terrorist who causes fear and terror and kills masses of people. What government sends a terrorist to an insane asylum?

Joker doesn't like Nazis, so it stands to reason he'd dislike Bin Laden.

We can only assume that Gotham is the result of that universe's Supreme Court ruling early in favor of the primacy of state's rights to govern themselves over federal lawmakers.

In short, Gotham is what you'd get if there were no checks on the power of state governments of any branch - it is utterly corrupt because Gotham is too small and large, well-off interests can simply buy out the law.

3000 people died in 911.

Devil's Advocate says Joker killed over 2000 people.

Thats still a lot of people dead pinned on one guy he has a good K/d ratio

Some one could make the argument that he needed to be studied by psychologists because science, therefore arkham

Yeah, and 9/11 was planned out and executed by way more than 1 guy, and was one event, while the Joker's killed 2000 people personally, over the course of many years.

Well, the Joker also has his gang and usually kills people in large groups using laughing gas or what have you.

Really he too is the leader of a terror cell if you think about it.

fuck gotham city. joker should have nuked it instead of metropolis

The original point of Arkham was that the people sent there weren't really insane. They were just rich/connected enough to pay a doctor to say so, take a nice vacation there, and come back out without being punished.

So it's just New Jersey.

>>dude dressed as mexican luchador uses huge amounts of drugs to get stronger and kill people
>>he's obviously insane, let's throw him into Arkham.
But that isn't what happened you cockmonger.

>He pleads insane, and so the Gotham Courts send him to Arkham.

Remember how that worked out for Warren White?

>blaming state's rights
>not liberal policies

The lion's share of corruption and crime happens in blue states.

Because they're the populous states, and democracy tends to favor liberal policies over those of the men who would be aristocracies running small populations as their personal lackies.

When you correct for population head, the lion's share in fact happens in the shitty flyovers and Texas, where money rules.

Texas is in the middle of turning blue, though, so that might come down a ways over the next few decades.

No, what you're doing there is imagining that a small government can effectively govern a large body of people, and it can't. A small government can however give kickbacks to large private corporations to govern a large number of people however they deem to be cost-effective in order to achieve political aims at arm's length - preserving the myth of small government's viability over the "inefficiency" of large-scale bureaucracies, which is really more to do with the general human inability to perceive scale in abstract than anything in reality.

Of course, history has shown that if you empower these private agencies by simply putting your flag on them, you get the blame anyway; as did the various European powers whose East India companies built their empires (and lost them, and were frequently bankrupted and had to be bailed out at a scale that makes Fannie Mae look like pocket change). So it's a lot easier to use your own troops for the pointy end, use private contractors and the myth of localism to divide any effective populist uprising within your own territories, and use the threat of capital flight to prevent any serious political challenge to the system itself. After all, nobody wants these companies we rely on to leave, right? Then we'd have to pay somebody else to do all the shit they do.

Why doesn't Batman just rape Osama?

people are trying to have a serious discussion here, Gordon

There's nothing more serious than rape.

Probably bring Osama with him next time he busts out, flee to Afghanistan, and redo the Death in the Family shtick again, since that was hilarious the first time around.

Gordon you kill me

>and democracy tends to favor liberal policies
Not even liberals favor liberal policies considering they're always the first to leave a state once they tank and economy.
