Sociopath Community

They just are referring to a concept of a person with hyper intelligence to the point where they are able to manipulate anyone at all

Most people are easy to manipulate. This super socio bullshit makes it sound like sociopaths dress up like batman or some shit.

ahahaha well batman is a sociopath so you never know who else is getting in on it

All jokes aside I do get what you mean

I hardly think the Batman character fits the sociopathic profile. He's a risk-taker, sure, but he does what he does because he cares.

The joker, on the other hand, is a fine fit.

Well, both experienced phsycological truama at a young age, both posses hyper intelligence that enables them to plan better, invent and problem solve and let's not forget Mr Waynes ability with the ladies

Not much evidence at his point but i reckon if I did some digging I'd find more to support this. They are both able to do this just to make the comic's more intense and allow for more interesting conflicts in the plot but if you smell smoke there's probably a fire

Quit spamming the forum or I'll have to think about ending your life, one keyboard stroke at a time.

I'm telling you now, the Batman character is not a sociopath because he is driven by a desire to protect the innocent.

Childhood trauma can affect people in different ways. Some abused children grow up wanting to help and protect others from the pain they experienced themselves. While Others grow up with a desire to destroy the world and everyone in it.

Which path do you think Batman took?

I just gave it a google and, yeah, he is too sensitive about the welfare of Gotham city, so I guess by the book you're right. But if spending your nights in spandex breaking peoples skulls isn't considered anti-social behavior then I don't know what is

Sociopaths are not motivated by a desire to care for and protect others. That's not anti-social behavior. Batman goes after the criminals, just like the cops. Except he takes greater risks, uses more force and has a bunch of a fancy gadgets.

It's not his actions that make him non-sociopathic, but the motivation behind them.

Luna: "I don't think we as Humans are ever able to identify those who are smarter than us on a fundamental level. We have really high walls. :)"

What are you meaning by "fundamental level" exactly?


As for the whole Batman thing, he's largely depressed and compulsive more than anything as a product of childhood trauma. He can't sleep knowing crime's happening... so he doesn't. He's not a sociopath, but he seems to figure that if he allowed himself to kill, he'd become something worse.
