Quote: Animalman said: Merciful Falcone? How was he merciful?
He didn't kill Bruce when he decided to try and kill him. Then he gave him a lesson of 'fear is power'. It'd just make more sense.
Bruce didn't try to kill Falcone, so why would Falcone need to try and kill Bruce? Bruce was just a spoiled rich kid while Falcone was king of the underworld with half the city in his pocket. It wasn't a pep talk. It was Falcone calling Bruce a stupid bastard who could never make it in the real world.
