The real reason Superman has so many problems


and the world, and Batman has the same major problem:

The "no kill" stupid ideal.

Just kill the bad guys and be done with it. Not killing the bad guys leads to more problems and not just for Superman/Batman but for the world and the next innocents that would be killed by the same bad guys.

At least Black Adam had the right idea.

Then Batman would be a serial killer in a costume and Superman would be an alien monster.

reply

Yep, Batman would basically be the Punisher.

reply

I think I like the Punisher more.

reply

Not really. At most vigilantes.

Is the justice system a serial killer?

Better a vigilante killing the real serial killer than the real serial killer killing thousands.

At least in my book.

Fuck your principles if you allow the serial killer to stay alive and then kill more people because "oh, I have principles". Your principles will not bring back the dead people.

The justice system is an official body in a democratic system.

A criminal is a person who decides to make their own personal laws/rules and do what they want to.

Batman is doing the same thing as a criminal only he produces positive outcomes so people appreciate him.

If he was gutting people he would be serial killing people he personally thinks need to be murdered which would make him a serial killer and not a person helping society in a nontraditional way.

reply

Not really.

Batman is not doing what he wants to. He is generally defending people against aggression and generally it happens at the moment of aggression.

Self defense rules still apply so he is covered legally and even morally. Society would still love him.

I would HATE him if a criminal that he left alive would kill my family afterwards.

I have worked with many criminals in psychology.

They are working to get money and take care of themselves. No criminal I have ever met thinks they are "bad" and does "bad" things even though they know the difference between right and wrong.

So, they are "perverts" which means they think bad is good and so on.

If you are a superhero who breaks the law by murdering people then you are a pervert.

Batman does things the police can't and captures people he sees as mentally ill for reform. That's the right and non perverted thing to do.

You advocate for perverted solutions which is to harm/murder people as a solution to people who harm and murder people. So, you are missing the point of comics.

reply

I'm not missing the point of comics, I'm pointing out that it's stupid and wrong.

You don't understand that difference so ...

"If you are a superhero who breaks the law by murdering people then you are a pervert."

Only that you don't. The law clearly defines self defense and anyone is entitled, by law, to kill the aggressor that would try to kill you or even someone else. And it's even morally right to do it.

So try again, this time with some logic.

reply

You don't know how to think clearly and you don't understand laws.

You can't go after someone and then kill them in self-defense.

reply

You can't understand written English apparently.

"and generally it happens at the moment of aggression."

Bad guys attacking a bank, killing people, taking hostages and Batman jumping in?
Self Defense and defends the lives of others. It's even more hands on than a sniper shooting the bad guys. If the sniper has the high moral ground and he can freely shot the bad guys then Batman is even more entitled since he is in the middle of the problem, being attacked and shot at.

Joker placing some bomb and threatening to kill everyone (that means including Batman)?
Self Defense and defends the lives of others.

Yes, if you are under attack/threat from others you can kill them in self defense. THAT IS THE LAW!!!
