  1. What about Harvey Dent/2 Face? Come on, you have to address the DA becoming a Criminal Mastermind. Extreme Emotional Disturbance/Distress? (Pretty much the premise of his about face turn to the dark side. If you'll pardon the expression.)

  2. While defenestration isn't specifically noted in NY law, it's such a nifty legal term, I just had to bring it up, and as you pointed out, it's still Attempted Murder. Also, at the party, Bruce Wayne would be able to justify the assaults, because it was provoked, on his property by invaders. That gets down to the legal question of Batman, his alter ego, acting as a vigilante. So, if he took exception as Bruce Wayne, he'd be on the hook for the crimes of Batman, but in this case, he could argue self defense, and defense of property, from the robbery in progress. Just like Fichtner in the bank. Even using Deadly Force, with joker threatening Rachael at knife-point. You said that if you have the opportunity to flee (In this case to the safe room to change) then you are obligated, but not leaving a potential victim of murder, mayhem, and sexual assault in the hands of a terrorist.

  3. In addition to the destruction of property from shooting cars, I'm pretty sure those guns on the Batcycle are illegal, firing from a moving vehicle, possession of a Destructive Device (FFA) and detonating explosive devices in public. Also, 2 counts of Reckless Endangerment of a Minor for the 2 boys on scene.
