Itachi is basically the Narutoverse's answer to BATMAN.

[Anakin Skywalker]

Batman is a masochist with a martyr complex who seems to be COMPLETELY UNABLE to imagine any sort of longterm solutions to the ACTUAL PROBLEMS within Gotham. He treats the symptoms, not the underlying disease.

So, exactly like Itachi.

:sy: do u even know what the batman's ideals are ... i seriously suggest you to get your facts right bro
let me ask u this ....if u were in batman's shoes what would u have done???

Last time i checked Batman didnt slaughter a village of innocents and tortured his brother for years

Well, I'd attempt to use my money (EXTREME AMOUNTS OF MONEY) for more than making cool stuff to fight criminals with for one thing.

Establishing support centres for the homeless, rehab centers for drug addicts, ACTUAL lunatic asylums for ACTUAL lunatics, and SECURE ****ING ESTABLISHMENTS for murderous, high-functioning MONSTERS like the Joker.

@bold actually this is your so called "curing the symptoms and not curing the actual disease"

center for homeless -> Batman fights to eliminate corrupt people and make sure the Gotham's people get what that is rightfully theirs so there wont be any poor or homeless people at all

rehab centers for drug addicts -> Batman fights to eliminate mob bossed and drug dealers so that drugs stay off Gotham city

ACTUAL lunatic asylums for ACTUAL lunatics -> batman has already done that(indirectly through arkham asylum)

SECURE ****ING ESTABLISHMENTS for murderous, high-functioning MONSTERS like the Joker -> Joker,bane,poison ivy, etc have been put in Arkham Asylum by Batman

again get ur facts right kid ... if u are one of those who have seen batman from only the movies or cartoon network you dont know anything abt the capabilities of batman

Why a no, lol.
If you think about it, Itachi was the true messiah of the war because if it wasn't for him, Kabuto would've produced more Edo Tensei god-tier followers that would then proceed to fodderize and wreck havoc over half the Narutoverse.

I totally Agree with u...Correct....+ r
And I dont think so he made it worse...He made things much better....

I am unsure whether to be amused or horrified by your ignorance on the real-world topics of homelessness and drug abuse.

First, and let me see if I understood your position. You say that homeless-shelters and rehab-centers are inferior, stopgap measures, and your idea of a permanent and perfect solution is BATMAN?

There are ALWAYS homeless people in cities of a certain size. It's not a problem that can be solved through punching anything, no matter how badass you are. You are right about one thing, though. Homeless-shelters are only attempts at treating the symptom. Problem is, when the "sickness" is that THERE IS NOT NOW AND HAS NEVER BEEN A FLAWLESS ECONOMIC SYSTEM, there's not a lot else to be done, apart from MAKING SURE PEOPLE DON'T STARVE OR FREEZE TO DEATH while Batman is busy "fixing" it. And in all the years he's been Batman, he never has.

rehab centers for drug addicts -> Batman fights to eliminate mob bossed and drug dealers so that drugs stay off Gotham city

Do you know that there IS NO MAJOR CITY IN THE WORLD FREE OF ILLEGAL DRUGS? That's because the sickness here is that "people WANT drugs" and they take steps to ensure that they get them. Even with every so-called drug lord in Gotham gone, there would still be drug abuse.

And if 'shelters and 'centers are provided, these people wouldn't have to turn to crime to survive. So they'd avoid being beaten up by Batman, too.

ACTUAL lunatic asylums for ACTUAL lunatics -> batman has already done that(indirectly through arkham asylum)

Are there NO "regular" lunatics in Arkham?

SECURE ****ING ESTABLISHMENTS for murderous, high-functioning MONSTERS like the Joker -> Joker,bane,poison ivy, etc have been put in Arkham Asylum by Batman

So none of those mentioned EVER ESCAPE ARKHAM?

again get ur facts right kid ... if u are one of those who have seen batman from only the movies or cartoon network you dont know anything abt the capabilities of batman

Get to know the real world.

Also Batman should kill the Joker. There are some people who can't expect redemtion. In the words of the Dark Knight himself, as written by Frank Miller: "How many people have I killed... by letting YOU live?"

 

[shri3kbat]

There are some obvious resemblances to Batman. They both work from the shadows, sacrificing themselves for the good of the village/city.
Though the way they sacrifice themselves are different (Itachi killing his own clan, Batman basically giving up a normal life and devotes himself to punching down thugs)

 

[DESTRUCTO]

See, as Bruce I think he does throw money at the problem, but with all the lame politics of the city the problem still remains unresolved. So he has to done a cape and cowl to clean the streets. However you bring up an interesting topic, are superheroes the cause of super villains or are super villains the cause of the heroes? Would the Joker still have come to be if Batman wasn't around?

As for Itachi, he was following orders, as twisted as they were. Shisui tried to nip the problem in the butt himself, and in turn Danzou took his eye. Danzou is the true villain here. His perceptions of the world around him are so distorted that he sees genocide as a form of bringing peace. However, the Uchiha were nowhere to be found during the Kyuubi attack, which doesn't help with their guilt, whether they were innocent or not. Itachi was simply twisted and distorted by the ninja world, passing down his distortion to his brother. Naruto seems to be the only character no corrupted by the ninja world, maybe it is because of the fact that he is aware of how it twists and distorts people.

Batman's insistence on remaining wholly unsullied is his greatest flaw. He can't kill the Joker, no matter how many lives that would save. He can't engage in a little corruption to get political reforms through (bribes and the like) though it would would, again be on the whole beneficial for his city.

But my point, with the last post at least, is that Batman essentially EDUCATES his villains. He won't kill them or hurt them enough to stop their lives of crime (if they're the tenacious re-offending kind) and after a couple of tangles with the bat they'd probably be able to outwit the police in ANY other city in America (save Metropolis).

Interesting view of the ninja world. I was attempting to explain that Itachi's "sacrifice" wasn't as necessary as people make it out to be; there were better options available. His decision to strengthen Sasuke also lead to a threat of a higher magnitude than the Uchiha clan ever was. Itachi FAILED. But no one noticed.

 

[Minator93]

I like Itachi n all but he is no Bruce Wayne U_U

 

[jsrhoden]

Danzo is more Batman like IMO

I'm with you on that their could have been a better way, Hiruzen was sure of it. Danzou jumped the gun, it even seems as if it was behind Hiruzen's back to have the clan massacred by Itachi. In the end Itachi picked the only way he truly knew, the messed up, demented path filled with hate and death. One he gingerly lead his brother down.

 

[Strata Uchiha]

Itachi is the hero Konoha deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not a hero. He's a single guardian, a watchful protector. The Dark Shinobi.

Itachi seems to have been unable to live with himself after killing the clan. He basically both arranged for Sasuke becoming strong enough to protect himelf AND his own future death by the same actions: Psychologically manipulating Sasuke.

However, Itachi was as good at psychological manipulation as he was everything else. Sasuke is a mental wreck who will only keep on selecting more and more unreasonable targets until he gets put down.

Sasuke only WANTS to die:

And he's strong, too. He's a legitimate threat to ANYONE in the Narutoverse. A mental case with EXTREME power and battle intelligence who WANTS to die but won't kill himself, just like Itachi, and will instead keep attacking and attacking and attacking until either HE is dead, or EVERYONE ELSE is. Which is not QUITE like Itachi.

Itachi's ONLY action of any real positive impact on the world is releasing the Edo Tensei, and he had no way of knowing he would ever get the opportunity to. If he HADN'T been resurrected, or if Naruto has locked eyes with Sasuke's EMS before seeing his MS, he would have been just another Edo.

"Yami no Shinobi" (Darkness of the Shinobi) was Danzo's nickname, if I remember correctly. He's also similar to Batman, if wholly lacking the moral guidelines that Batman has.

So he would do anything, ANYTHING, to protect Konoha.
