Mr. Freeze cries for "Vengence!" to whit The Batman replies "No... Justice.", a line he himself walks in his role as Gotham's vigilante in the service of his murdered parents.
yet, if i remember my Nietzsche correctly, justice and vengence are derived from the same root word, and it was only through some kind of legitimization through slave morality that a distinction was forged. (Nietzsche makes a similar criticism of the Christian derivation of platonic, rather than sexual, love.) when i have time to review my notes, i would like to expound on this further...
This article is linked to the Golda Meir article from the link Vengeance, which is about the Israeli response to the 1972 Munich Olympic attacks. I think we may need a disambiguation page going to Vengeance. Flyerhell 09:07, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Silly examples
Given that revenge has been a consistent theme in great literature for hundreds of years, it seems to me a little silly to select examples like Batman, and Star Wars II. Jive Dadson 20:22, 9 March 2006 (UTC) Jive Dadson

Revenge has been noted in several different animal species, particularly those of primate origins and elephants. Perhaps this could be noted somewhere?

[edit] Revenge is a dish best served cold
Revenge is a dish best served cold redirects here but there's little reason for it to do so. Anybody care to explain why it should? --Energman 20:44, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Revenge is a dish best served cold because the person who said it couldn't get back at their "enemy" at that time
