I see all of this very powerful images, and I think to myself, how many things are wrong in the world right now, but I also think how few of us will actually do something about it.... I probably won't.

I will do what I can, with the opportunities that are given to me. That is the only thing that matters.

Doesn't deserve to be in this thread. You can find real images with a far more poignant, inspiring, or devastating background stories for each real person in it. That's a freaking screen shot from a video game, and is trite compared to the majority of images (and overall goal) of this thread.

At the end of the day, that image is cliched fiction, no matter how you try to spin it.

I think it deserves to be in this thread. No where in the OP does it say you can't post non-real life pictures in this thread, the point is that it has to make some sort of impact. I felt a lot of impact looking at the batman picture, and the well written description helped a lot.

You're right, the OP doesn't explicitly state that there should be only real-life pictures in this thread. In fact, I think he even mentions something along the lines of being open to more "artistic" images.

However, I believe somewhere he does state "photographs" and the thread took off with that in mind. The beginning of this thread is great but it eventually gets derailed by trivial nonsense such as the image I mention. A picture of fictional characters struggling in their fictional world with their own fictional choices is weak considering the abundance of powerful, real-world images here.

With no sarcasm or animosity at all, I can say I'm glad that picture had an impact on you; but compared to the other images here that abundantly suggest this thread should stay on more "real-world" subject matter, the Batman image is weak.

EDIT: Typo.

left to right

a dedicated police officer who along with his family suffered tragedy after tragedy, but still has hope for his city

a man who gave up everything most men would die for, in exchange to prevent tragedys befalling others and becoming a symbol of fear to those who would harm innocents

a deranged madman who cannot be understood or second guessed, looking at the vigilante he set a trap for, all for fun in his mind

a corrupt officer who cares nothing for anyone, money is his only motive.

a security guard, a bystand to the night of chaos and terror that is about to be unleashed, he, like many others, will most likely not survive to see the next day

no one could have said that any better, that was epicly written

I fully agree with your points and think it should be only real-world images now, I'm glad we can peacefully close this out instead of name-calling each other with obscene words!
