I really don’t get it. I realize this is likely a me thing. I’ve never read any his comics. He doesn’t have any powers. He just shoots people. I think he shoots only bad guys, right? Seeing people get what they deserve is nice but you could also do that with a robot mech suit or giant green imaginary weapons or laser beams from your eyes. I could go on. He wears all black, so he’s emo, and shoots people. I just don’t get it.

    He kills the bad guys. Batman doesn’t make sense. How many people has the Joker killed? Yet Batman won’t kill him and he keeps getting out and committing crime.

        There’s even a scene in the comics where Frank is stop-and-frisked by some cops. Once they realize who he is, the cops let him go, saying they’re a big fan of his work.

        That has Frank going on a tirade about how they shouldn’t be cops if they’re fans of his work; He exists specifically to take down cops like them. His entire family is dead, and the killers walked free because of dirty cops.
