PETA vs. Batman
Filed under: Film Flickers
PETA is upset with the new Batman movie.
As many of you saw, since the film has done so much business, The Dark Knight had some "unfriendly" dog scenes in the pic.
Particularly the scene where Batman "was punching out dogs left and right." In self-defense of course.
But some PETA is asking why with so many gadgets that Batman has on hand, the only way to defend himself was to hurt the dogs?
What do U think?
Is it just an innocent part of the movie, or is PETA overreacting?
Check out their list of the Top 10 Animal-Friendly Superheroes….after the jump.

10. Hellboy—This superhero may be someone that would make you cross the street if he came your way (the red skin and horns might be a bit intimidating), but he's just a big teddy bear with a love for kittens (and many successful attempts to save them).
9. Aquaman—The King of Atlantis, Aquaman can commune with sea creatures, whom he considers citizens of his ocean realm, and routinely protects them from being abused or exploited by the surface-dwellers.
8. Black Panther—As the leader of the African nation of Wakanda, the Black Panther has banned the evil White Gorilla Cult from his country. Members of the cult seek to gain power by killing one of Wakanda's rare white gorillas, bathing in their blood, and eating their flesh (um, gross). The villain known as Man-Ape gained his superpowers by doing exactly that—incurring the wrath of the Black Panther and becoming one of his greatest foes.
7. Superman—In a one-shot "PSA comic" entitled "Superman: For the Animals," Supes rescues a kitten from being thrown off a bridge by a group of kids named (seriously) Ballser, Charlie, Donuts, and Eightball and, in the process, teaches everyone a valuable lesson about not picking on anyone weaker than you—including animals.
6. Captain Planet—He just wants to save the planet from the evil Captain Pollution! And that, of course, includes all our wildlife friends who live there. Point of fact, though: "Heart"? NOT an element.
5. Thor—In the Ultimate Avengers animated movie, we find Thor out at sea with a group of activists protesting whale slaughter. If only his fellow Norwegians in the real world got the picture that whaling is a thing of the past!
4. Beast Boy—Everyone's favorite Teen Titan also happens to be vegan (and not just because he's been hanging out on peta2.com like pretty much every other teenager). You would be, too, if you had the metamorphic ability to turn into any animal and therefore had a little compassion for the ones that get eaten.
3. Animal Man—This lesser-known DC hero can mimic the abilities of animals and is an ardent advocate for animal rights. He's a vegetarian, and in Animal Man #15, Animal Man saves a group of dolphins from cruel fishers and drops the villains in the ocean to drown—only to be saved by one of the very dolphins he was trying to kill.
2. Wolverine and Jean Gray—In X-Men Unlimited #44, Wolverine catches three neighborhood boys in the act of torturing and killing animals for kicks—and offers to return the favor on behalf of his furry friends. Using her psychic powers, Jean Gray instead makes the boys experience in their minds the pain and suffering that they caused to their innocent victims. In the next issue … Colonel Sanders!
1. Wonder Man—In Civil War: Frontline #5, part of Marvel's epic Civil War story arc, Wonder Man is interrupted on his way to an important function by two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents looking for answers about a mysterious aquarium store bombing (read the book). The important function? A PETA banquet. 'Nuff said.
PETA FUCKING SUCKS!
What I'd like to know is why, with the immense profit they recieve each year, as a 'non-profit organisation' that cares for animals, why the hell have PETA never opened a single animal shelter for all those poor mistreated animals they care so much about.
PETA is a bad parody of itself.
People Eating Tasty Animals!
jesus christ, dont these people have anything better to do!!! FUCK ME!! what a joke. it's a goddamn movie you stupid assholes!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow this is ridiculously stupid. like OH MY GOD fake violence towards dogs. like, oh my goddd.
a ton of people died in that movie (fake violence again) yet you don't see anybody complaining. no, they're all complaining that a couple dogs got punched. it's FAKEEE, get over it. there was violence shown towards people too. wow peta's ridiculously stupid. gay liberals.
PETA is always overreacting … what else is new
These motherfuckers are just doing what they do best, which is piss the shit out of people who care about real issues. Fuck Peta and you Perez shouldn't even bother with whatever the fuck these idiots do. There real issues that need to be addressed and all they can come up with is a fucking Batman scene? Fuck them and that Pam Anderson spokesperson of theirs (she shouldn't refer to herself as Canadian any longer because we're a lot smarter than that). One more thing, FUCK PETA AND ALL THEIR EMPLOYEES.
dude. fuck peta. what was he supposed to do in the movie? pull out his bag of milkbones and kindly command the dogs to 'sit'..? fuckkk that.
PETA is *always* overreacting.
they are overreacting. its ridiculous. anyone can get upset with anything these days..
Attention PETA its a fucking movie you left winged retards. It is fake, im sure no real dogs were hurt in the filming of the movie. I wish Batman would kick the shit out of PETA and leave the Joker alone.
its a MOVIE….. idiots……
Thats stupid…. I appreciate and support "MOST" of what Peta says but the comment was just way 2 over the top …. I thyink their just trying 2 steal all the attention from Batman yaaahhhh!!!!!! Luv ya Perez xoxox
I WISH PETA WOULD LEARN TO USE THEIR POWER BETTER. THE REALLY COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE. BUT THERE TOO BUSY BEING PUSHY SHIT HEADS FOR ANYBODY TO BELIEVE IN THERE CAUSE. THEY HAVE GREAT POTENTIAL,THEY JUST NEED TO LEARN TO USE IT BETTER.
They forgot Wonder Woman, who can talk to animals, and routinely rescues them. They also help her in her missions.
Shut the hell up PETA
ok, Peta is getting fucking OUT OF HAND already! they need to RELAX! They remind me of a religion that tries to make EVERYBODY believe in what they believe in, and if you don't you're WRONG! they are seriously overreacting!
They are totally over-reacting.. The animals were not really hurt, so what's the problem??
no dogs were hurt, its just a fucking movie! and PETA always freakin overreacts. FUCK PETA
PETA SUCKS! They are a terrorist organization that tugs on your heart strings to get into your wallet. Wake up kids… stop giving them so much power.
PETA is a bunch of whiney bitches. Honestly. It's not like Christian Bale was actually punching the shit out of dogs. Fucking babies.
"Is it just an innocent part of the movie, or is PETA overreacting?"
….perez. isn't that the same thing??
ALL OF YOU IGNORANT TRASH CAN GO SUCK MICHAEL VICKS DICK. peta has done more for animals than any of your pea brains can comprehend. Without PETA animals would have no voice, the are the voice for those that have none. You think its ok for an animal to die alone in a little cage afer being tested on and tortured for the latest hair spray or make up. Columbia university removes they eyes of baboons and leaves them alone to die in a small cage without anesthetic. Without peta this shit would go on unnoticed but they EXPOSE IT. Fuck all you ignorant assholes. You all need to be lined up in a firing line and shot with an M16. PETA is NEVER going away until animal abuse is eliminated, trust me. We are going to fight for animal rights until the end of the world. Animal abuse in any form will not be tolerated. And fuck you, you negroid bitch, you obviously have a dildo for a brain.
I hate PETA and that lunatic bitch of a "fuhrer" they have. No good can come from whining all the time about FICTIONALIZED animal abuse. YES, real abuse is sick and wrong and I'm all for the welfare of animals (before they are killed and turned into tasty meat for dinner.) But it ALL boils down to one thing… animals are NOT … I repeat.. NOT equal to humans on any level. So to conclude, FUCK PETA, It's ONLY A MOVIE. Get over yourselves and shuit the hell up!
They've taken it too far AGAIN. I'm not okay with animal abuse but PETA is pretty fucking insane! They should smoke pot. Maybe they'd stop being such tight asses.
It's a freakin movie, a movie! It's acting, fake, not real. They're (PETA) just trying to be in the spotlight. People are watching this movie and they want someone to pay attention to them.
I was thinking the same shit while i was watching it, i kept thinking peta is gonna be pissed, but i didn't think they'd actually do something.
okay seriously u peta losers… it's a FUCKING MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.E.T.A. is ALWAYS overreacting!!!!! A L W A Y S ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Now I love animals and I have two dogs but ….IT"S A MOVIE. C'mon.
Plus if a dog was attacking me I don't know how friendly I would be to it.
fuck.
as usual, PETA is wasting their time, energy, and valuable financial resources on useless, pointless crap. Even as a vegetarian, tree-hugging, neo-cultural animal rights activist I can't support them. Their flagrant waste of resources on unwinnable, inconsequential issues (like the fictional abuse of animals in a movie!) makes them a lame-duck organization with a big mouth, no real-world principles, enough money to make Solomon blush, and an overhead that would make even the most unconconcerned members of the Bush regime sick. In short, their a waste of everyone's time and money.
RE: You talk about treating animals fairly…? Fuck you! you racist prick! How about you treat humans fairly first… THEN complain about the plight of animals. Animals DON'T need a voice. Would you rather that 100,000 humans died because of a faulty cosmetic that wasn't tested on ONE lowly street mutt?!? And how about that Firing squad idea you so eagerly used… You should get your priorities straight.. HUMANS have MORE VALUE than ANIMALS. killing animals isn't murder.. it's necessity! Killing humans or the desire to do so is inhumane and inexcusable… so I ask you to take the HORSE COCK out of your own mouth before you try to remove the dildo in someone else's brain.
Peace out, CUNT!

anything to get attention
I agree with PETA. I just don't understand why movies have to have animal violence. I love The Dark Knight, but it could have been so much better, for me, if they would have just not had those scenes where the dogs were being hit or abused.
I work at a Blockbuster. We got a memo sent in from corporate about what we should do in the event of a protester. You know why? Snow Buddies. I'm a vegetarian and I think PETA is so silly.
peta is so outa control these days, they just want to bitch about everything! Its a movie people! Its not real! Make-believe! They need to get the sticks out of their asses, and concentrate on REAL LIFE cruelty against animals.
OVERJOYED to see her on your list Perez, but Jean's last name is spelt with an 'E', not an 'A'
haha what was he suppose to have a gadget that deploys steak bones or something? PETA over exaggerates everything they do.
I know if a vicious dog was mauling me in an attempt to kill me I would definitely take the extra time and effort to humanely rid myself of them. Because that would be the most important thing for me when my flesh was being ripped open by vicious animals. By the way, how many "incurable" and dogs are "humanely" killed by lethal injection each year by the "Humane" Society? They could at least be used as food for starving people or their livestock.
I wish I could tie all PETA people down and shove a hamburger down their throat!
PETA is a joke. They spend all their time causing controversy for profit instead of actually helping animals. They might as well be a cult.
"Is it just an innocent part of the movie, or is PETA overreacting?"
ummmmmmmmm did anyone else notice that this sentence doesnt make sense? haha it says, essentially the same thing, twice.
Fuck PETA. I hate them. Its just a movie people, lighten up!
In a deleted scene — destined to be on the DVD — Batman is confronted by the angry dogs and with a quick call on the Batphone brings in the Dog Whisperer and for the next thiry minutes together they solve the packs insecurity and anger issues and only then is Batman able to continue on crimefighting. It was felt that this scene slowed down the pacing of the movie and was replaced with the version that we currently see.
there were countless people "killed" in that movie too. but i guess we dont talk about them.
What's he suppposed to do? Carry Bat Biscuits on his utility belt? If someone turned loose Rottweilers on me, and I could kick their a$$ before they kicked mine, I'd do the same.
The Dark Knight needs to kick some Peta butt.
Re: angel – PETA are stupid extremists who give GOOD animal rights activists and organizations a bad name.
YOU'RE the ignorant one. Actually, I bet you get paid the big bucks from PETA. Try the SPCA next time. They're the ones that care about animals instead of money and fame.
cunt.

I'M ALL FOR ANIMALS BUT PETA IS SOOO FUCKING OBNOXIOUS! GOD I WANT TO PUNCH OUT ALL THOSE FUCKING BITCHES LEFT AND RIGHT JUST TO SHUT THEM UP.
IT'S A MOVIE!!!! NO REAL DOGS WERE HURT DURING FILMING, (LIKE THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT ALREADY)

Re: angel – ——-I WOULD EXPECT THAT REACTION/LANGUAGE FROM SOMEONE AT PETA, YOU LOW CLASS BITCH. HOW ABOUT WE LET YOU DIE IN A CAGE?
.
.

I hate PETA, but I can never excuse violence towards animals, even simulated violence. What happens when some kid imitates what he saw on-screen and tries to punch out the neighbor's dog??
christian bale happens to be a vegetarian !! why not use that for attention ..
.
.

Re: angel – ——WHAT A "PETA" REACTION !! THIS IS WHY PEOPLE HATE YOU AND NO ONE TAKES YOU SERIOUS..GROW UP LITTLE "ANGEL". LEARN HOW TO TALK ABOUT YOUR CAUSE IN A POSITIVE WAY.

PETA = Please Eat Tasty Animals
Meat is Murder. Tasty, tasty murder…..bwahaahaahaa

Re: angel – –I LOVE THIS QUOTE FROM OUR LITTLE ANGEL "Without peta this shit would go on unnoticed but they EXPOSE IT." ALL THEY DO IS EXPOSE IT?? WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT IT?? WHAT A BUNCH OF HOT AIR. WHILE YOU WHORES ARE "EXPOSEING" THINGS ,ANIMALS ARE STILL DEAD!!!!!! PETA IS A WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT.
.
.
.
So if there was a scenerio where a rotweiler was to attack you, you shouldnt defend yourself? Just lay down and get mauled?
GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.
Peta needs to shove it.
honestly PETA needs to stfu! There must be some uptight hags that work for PETA (oh wait PAM Aderson, i guess im right)…Stop complaining and actually help real animals that are being hurt for real instead of complaining about a fake movie scene. I really doubt anyone would say "hey batman hit dogs, i should too"….but then again if a dog was trying to attack me i would kick the shit out of it too!
Its about time that someone stood up for all those poor CGI dogs getting abused!! It's a terrible plight.
HA!
peta are publicy whorees all they want is attention, i am so over their crap. i wish someone would pour gasoline and set them on fire
oh yes so in a fake scene batman defended himself from dogs that were attacking him, wow the horror,
in any case people should care about what really matter the war in darfur, the geonocide is rowanda, and the war in iraq, not some stupid dogs theres millions of them who gives a rats ass
wow, it wasn't even that serious anyways.
im sure they (directors, producers) made sure that the dogs weren't hurt
peta SUCK IT BITCHES!!!! PETA SUCKS
Perez, I love you and your website, but really those dogs if Batman was in real life probably belong to people… Would you like Teddy to be one of those dogs being hit… huh? I wouldn't… Especially for my 2 dogs. I think they have every right to be mad… I mean those dogs could be getting hurt..
peace & love
peta needs to chill the fuck down.
OMG ITS JUST A MOVIEEEEE!! What Gives PETA The Right To Run Everyone's Lives?!?!
PETA IS STUPID SOMETIMES…I UNDERSTAND ON SOME ISSUES WHY THEY COME DOWN ON CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT ANIMAL FRIENDLY BUT MOST OF THE TIME THE'RE JUST PLAIN ANNOYING
it specifically says in the credits of this movie that no animals were harmed in the making of the dark knight.
Is PETA saying when I am attacked by 2 ferocious angry BIG dogs that even Batman couldn't fend off quite as quickly but isn't dead thanks to his Batsuit that I should just stand there and be mauled to death? Look I don't want to be some dog food ok? Moreover it's just a movie. And no animals were harmed during the making of the movie. So what is PETA really saying? Stand still and let them bite? Or that Christopher Nolan should have just let the dogs be punched for real? Will PETA say the same thin of a dozen rabbit suddenly attacked Batman?
Yeah, I mean, why would he PUNCH the dogs when he could just hit 'em with a BAT BLADE!
(Kidding, of course. I love animals, but PETA sucks.)
Those scenes are friggin' hilarious!
"Nigs"? Really dude?
Damn PETA has to chill their balls.
WTF everything they see threatens animal.
It's a movie. They have technology so that it looks like hurt them.
It is not promoting violence towards animals.
I get that Peta is like trying to stop stuff but they are so 'effing annoying! just shut up. Plus they are probably saying to people not to watch the movie b/c of the cruelty, which I mean I am sure they did not really hurt the dogs, but they can be hypocrites *sp* b/c they probably watched the movie in the first place.
SHUT THE FUCK UP PETA…SRSLY. Batman was mean to dogs????? HE IS NOT REAL. Bandwagon organizations like Peta make it hard for regular people like me not to just go out and strangle hippies.
I AGREE WITH PETA. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN OFFENSIVE TO A LOT OF ANIMAL LOVERS.
CATWoman isnt on the list? wtf peta
wow PETA has no life. its a fuckin movie jerk offs. i love animals but people remember that we're the dominant specials fucktards always will be.
this is so ridiculous. peta is just trying to find ways to get noticed. its a fucking movie. no animals were harmed. god im so sick of peta. im a vegetarian, and i love animals and i support them 110%, but they werent hurt. everyone of those fuckers that run peta need to get shot.
You know I love animals as much as the next person. But these fucking people really piss me off. I mean for Christ's sake it is just a movie!!Anyone ever heard of suspension of disbelief??WTF!!!A long as none of the animals were truly hurt during the movie whats the big fuss??I truly hate people who believe in censoring everything even a fictional scene in a movie. This is the shit that is fucking this country up. I for one do not think everything should be so politically correct…. everyone is so fearful nowadays! Duh…if dog's were attacking me you best believe I would be kicking ass too!!!
Peta supports firebombers! Who the fuck still pays attention to these guys
hheellloooooo… people were getting punched out to. Peta needs to get priorites straight. Animals are jstu as important as humans. Why do they not care about them?
PETA is def over reFUCKINGacting…come wtf would one of them do if two or three pits..or rots were tryna chew their ass? Cower n get malled or beat the fuck outta the dogs…ugh…jus my thoughts
definitely not okay! stop eating animals, that why more than half of you guys are fucking obese!
Isn't PETA known for their overreacting? I like the fact that they are more concerned about FAKE violence against dogs in a movie rather than the fake murder of all the people in the movie. They need to get a grip!
HAHAHAHA FUCK OF PETA!! that is the stupidest shit i have ever heard, no one cares what u think. its a freakin movie (and a DAMN good one too)
This is clearly PETA trying to get attention by latching onto a very popular movie. Acting crazy or making ridiculous claims about abuse during in a film with obviously fake animals will certainly get them the attention they wanted.
However, this is a very big problem for them because the few remaining people who actually pay attention to them will take them much less seriously.
I'm from the bay, so I know from liberal and bleeding heart this and that….But sometimes its overkill. It's one thing when they get mad at somebody for wearing fur or an animal product, it's another when they get angry for a fictional piece showing animals in any light other than perfectly friendly, obedient, unharmed, etc.
If a dog was ordered to attack a member of PETA, that member would probably kick the shit out of the dog. So fuck PETA.
I'm all for PETA! I'm an Animal Lover!
peta is the biggest bullshit organization ever known to man! its nothing but a bunch of hypocrites who own pets, put them on leashes and even use medication that is tested on animals. the world is totaly overpopulated with cats, dogs, frogs, birds. fuck…beat up a few more dogs in the next movie!!
FUCK PETA!! PETA IS ALWAYS UPSET! FUCK EM ALL!
PETA: shut the fuck up.
C'mon, adults know better…..those dogs probably had the same kind of trailer and dinner as Christian Bale when they weren't working, for God's sake, can I say that?, worry about babies dumped in garbage cans or something…..the dogs weren't hurt, my 7 year old son realized that!!! I can't stand the whining in the country anymore. It's a joke.
PETA is ran (and followed by) the biggest bunch of morons ever. These people are no different than PRO-LIFERS in their terroristic-like tactics to "save and defend" little fuzzy wuzzy widdle creatures. I can't stand this group and go OUT Of my way to piss them off and annoy them!! they are a WASTE of SPERM and EGGS!!
Re: Dawn – nicely put…..very good.
Wtf is wrong with the world. If those idiots at PETA have ever read any comic book then they should know that its all made up and there are lots of objects/animals that are depicted in bad ways that the comic "HERO" has to fight against. I mean I am suprised that there not concerned that we are depicting animals are super heros.. i mean bats, spiders what about them? I mean get real. get over it.
I'm sure if these Peta people were being attacked they'd throw some punches!
PETA sounds like some cry babies. It's a fucking movie. It's not like they actually got hurt. GET OVER IT.
This is rediculous! What did they expect for him to do just stand there? I mean he IS BATMAN! Screw peta! The movie is great!
Re: JJ – BRAVO…ROTF
I hate when people get all crazy over movies where animals are hurt in the film not real life but people could be killed left and right and no one cares. STUPID!
LAME. I don't want to see Batman hurt any dogs! Now I have that to dread when I go see it.
