Vigilante 1– “Time for violence.”
Vigilante 2– “I don’t know about that.”
“We always commit violence at this hour.”
“Yes, but I think I’m bored of it.”
“It’s how we stop crime and save the city.”
“But we’re not getting paid for it.”
“Money isn’t our goal.”
“My bank account would agree.”
“We hurt people for justice!”
“That’s another thing I want to bring up. Our motto is kind of . . . messed up.”
“How so?”
“Well, we’re openly admitting to hurting people. Adding justice makes it sound like we’re justifying illegal actions.”
“That would explain why the cops hate us.”
“Judges aren’t thrilled with us either because they can’t really put our enemies away.”
“At least we make the lawyers happy.”
“That’s not a good thing in this situation.”
“Fine. How are we supposed to stop criminals without violence?”
“Ask them nicely to surrender.”
“Should I buy them a box of chocolate-covered strawberries too?”
“That’s not in the budget.”
“I was being sarcastic. Words don’t stop these people.”
“What if we scare them away without hitting them?”
“Okay, I’m listening.”
“We dress up as monsters or serial killers then run at them before they can commit their crimes. Just scream, roar, and be frightening.”
“What if they don’t run away?”
“I guess that would be problem.”
“A lot of criminals we face have guns too.”
“Well, I don’t want to be shot.”
“Then, we have to fight violence with violence.”
“There has to be another way.”
“Nope.”
“Why not?”
“Because nobody would read our story if we didn’t have action scenes.”
“Damn . . . Forgot about audience bloodlust.”
“It’s what keeps our genre going.

Clever!
The bloodlust statement is very true. And thus the Saw franchise was born.

I was thinking Batman and Robin. Or the police in England who don’t carry guns.

Batman definitely has a violent streak even if he doesn’t kill. 🙂

He’s used lethal force in later movies and general comics. The old TV show wasn’t allowed to be violent due to network standards.

They could pick up some Three Stooges training and carry big bologna’s to smack with.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an anime out there with such a premise.
