I'd actually like the Injustice Superman if he wasn't such an edgy cunt
and that's coming from me
I end up rooting for villains like the Joker because to what the Joker represents is essentially exposing the fallacy behind "justice".
In a world of never ending strife and conflict heroism essentially has no meaning.
Heroes solve problems but they don't actually fix them.
Which is why those problems never end. An endless cycle. futile.
It's a pretty good reflection of humanity.

siveon (01/06/2016) [-] Actually I think the only one who is played relatively straight is Nightwing. But I think that's because he's hardly there due to his whole death thing. Not sure about him becoming the next Deadman though. That's preeety dumb. Which might be the point, since it's an alt universe basically just built for them to be a reasonable backstory to how heroes turned villain.
Then again, how did they even function as the JL in the first place if the majority of them ware just complete assholes? I dunno. It's a hit-or-miss-but-still-entertaining comic.

admiralen ONLINE (01/06/2016) [-] There are some cool moments, but i just end up shouting "thats ******* retarded" 80% of the time
Like when superman ******* MURDERS martian manhunter and green arrow, no remorse there, but he is hesitating whether he should kill an evil god invading earth
they just seem to ******* disregard every hero death, i mean, Kyle Rayner just getting ripped apart in space? thats ******* retarded
The plastic man part is ******* awesome though

With superman its just flash going "maybe that was a deuchy move" in his thoughts when they cripple a guy for protesting
I mean, Raven isnt even shown with any dialogue except for "theyre here!" and "ive been captured"

sherlockbatman ONLINE (01/07/2016) [-] **sherlockbatman used "*roll picture*"**
**sherlockbatman rolled image**
especially because he 100% killed Ras Al Ghul in the first movie too
Joker tripped over the balcony and fell all on his own. in fact, he kinda jumped over the wall and threw himself down.
that would have been the perfect spot to callback to the first movie
"I'm not gonna kill you...
but I don't have to save you either!"
he didn't feel bad about letting Harvey accidentally himself earlier in the same, damn movie

hikakiller (01/07/2016) [-]
If batman's moral compass is so strong, I'm pretty sure it's facing the wrong direction. If you have the chance to save someone, not doing it is 100% killing them, even if indirectly. With that logic, he could have paid someone to kill him, etc. Silly directors/whoever interprets the script

timoyr (01/07/2016) [-] He also blew up to brakes of the train. No matter where you are, I'm prettu sure he that counts at murder.
Also, killed:
-A bunch of assassins and the fake Ra's Al Ghul rather than kill a murderer (who probably died too).
-Harvey Dent/Two-Face by pushing him out of a building.
-Miranda Tate/Talia Al Ghul and the truck driver by remote controlling the batwing to shoot at the truck.
Pretty good for a guy who claims to have a no-kill code (This is why the movie version of Avengers don't have them. It maked things too complicated).

anon (01/07/2016) [-]
Yep, and in the comics they make a HUGE point about Batman's moral code when it comes to inaction. If he doesn't do anything to stop it when he has the power to, he considers that just as bad as murder, in Under the Red Hood he even saves Joker when Red Hood has him at gunpoint.

dbqpdb (01/06/2016) [-] That's kind of the point. Superman is an idealist who's never seriously dealt with skeletons in his closet and was raised by a loving family. If he's never been tempted, it'd be easy for him to justify becoming a (in his own mind) benevolent dictator.
Bruce witnessed 2 of the closest people to him, his own parents, killed in cold blood in front of him, and grew up bitter. He set limits on himself because he knows exactly how serious killing is, not because of ideals (though I admit to not always liking his no-killing policy and how it lets criminals escape and continue killing).

drtrousersnake (01/06/2016) [-] Batman isn't against killing, he just doesn't believe that he, as a single person, has the right to take a life. If joker was put on trial and got the death sentence, batman wouldn't have a problem with it but Joker's lawyer got him declared criminally insane.

deaminzaints (01/07/2016) [-] Batman was never "as much to blame" as supes.
for every bad thing batman did, supes did 3.
batman did some messed up things, increasingly bad stuff, but only as long as supes continued, had superman stopped, batman would too.
supes is the cause and menace in that story, batman is simply trying to fight a flamethrower with a torch.

deaminzaints (01/06/2016) [-] which completely shows that supes is a total egoist.
his ideal scenario is a situation in which the harshest punishment is dealt to the joker who he hates, but he dosent have to live with/deal with any repuccosions at all. he wants to do the crime, but not the time.

deaminzaints (01/07/2016) [-] I read the comic, he is an egoist in the main story as well, does whatever HE feels necessary and dosent want to take on the consequences. he beats up the messengers of zeus, but dosent wanna fight him, he kills green arrow and expects others to forgive his "accident", he works with the yellow lantern core and kills ALL the green lantern core but he is ok with it.
my point is that, even in his ideal scenario, where he could imagine everything, he still wants joker dead and not take responsibility for the kill. i mean, its HIS dream, he could just imagine joker getting locked away and never escape, but nope, kill.

how does that work? you child is killed by a crazy known person, you can not go and dream that never happened and still picturing that ****** livin' la vida loca at the same time, because you know it's a menace, and it has to die in order to keep the dream going...
seriously, its common sense

deaminzaints (01/07/2016) [-] ummm dude, the point of the dream was that he DIDNT know.
he didnt remember all the stuff that happend IRL, thats why everything up until the point of lois dying was the same, he didnt know what was gonna happend.
the dream spell created an ideal scenario in which superman never experienced the loss of lois and his kid, by suppressing the memory and creating an alternate version.
i mean think about it, if he remembered that joker killed them IRL, why would he just back off for batman? why wouldnt he kill him in the dream too?
the reason is that in the dream, its as if it never happend, so he had no reason.

again, common sense, its a calculated scenario its bound to happen as long as he continued alive, granted he could die from a hearth attack, but someone will pick up where he left until someone makes an ulterior statement: DO NOT **** WITH THE GOD OF THIS EARTH

deaminzaints (01/07/2016) [-] ? i dont quite understand what you mean here...
my point is that supes is egotistical becourse in his ideal dream scenario, the joker gets killed just like he wanted, but he dosent have to take responsibility and can just do what he wants.
in the dream scenario, he could have killed the joker and the change could have been that batman stayed on his side, he didnt become a dictator and things didnt get so crazy, but nope, he'd rather let batman take the blame in his own ideal dream.

so choosing to dream that he will kill the joker for being a menace but without continuing with this mindset and be a dictator overruling the whole world, ok dude
killing overpowered villains is one thing, killing a mere crazy human is another, because there is an entire race boiling with crazy bastards that can be threats waithing to happen, so i dont think so

he intentionally killed the joker off AND made sure that he didnt have to feel bad about it, in a make believe world of his creation.

toosexyforyou (01/07/2016) [-] The way that comics have explained different writers writing the characters differently is that it's simply "another dimension." So we know that there are unlimited dimensions they could pull characters from or stories. The way you gotta picture it is "this is the single dimension that all of this stuff happened to go exactly like this, in another dimension they could just go back in time to fix this so it wouldn't be a problem but in this one they are not able to do that and this is the story that I'm reading."

angelious (01/06/2016) [-] its confined to one planet. it doesnt have any chance of destroying the timeline, it isnt threatherning the local galaxies or the multiverse in general.
its pretty small key compared to most of the stuff..i mean for instance of the groups i have listed:
new gods are in a middle of a constant battle fougth through their avatars (aka the guys that superman and such fight, the actual darkseid and the new gods are much, MUCH stronger than what any of the earthlings can fight againts..barring few special mentions like specter)
the guys booster works for guard the entire timeline, and again; this doesnt affect the timeline in general so its a miniscule thing for them
guardians of the universe are the closest thing, but they already lost a huge war againts the earthlings, AND the rest of the guardians consider earth to still be an insignificant speck in the grand scheme of things (tho the greatest of the green lanterns have always come from earth...)
even thou its hard to believe considering the rep that people like superman have outside of comic books; just about everything (barring few special mentions like dr.fate and specter for instance) that happens on earth is pretty insignificant to the real powerhouses of dc verse.

but yeah...from the groups i have listed. the green lanterns are pretty much low key settings..the guardians themselves are pretty important. but not too important.. i mean they werent even invited to the meeting where the laws of reality were decided....

angelious (01/06/2016) [-] trigon is a bigger deal. but that was mostly just john's messing him in. and it ended before it even began.
fate is mostly in trouble with the other lords of order and chaos for distrubting the balance, but there shouldnt be any real reason for why the lords would interfere with the war outside of duking it out with fate. specter, he is a complicated character. while its true he is among the top 3 strongest characters in dc continuity (barring ofcourse the creator himself..and elaine..) his strength also hinges greatly on what the said creator allows him to be. and considering he was weak enough to not find fate and the crew, AND to actually be overpowered by mxy. he was clearly not in the voice's favor..so again no need for anybody important to get involved. specially now than specter is gone.
ofcourse the greek gods were selled a little short here. but thats just about it..rest i can come up with some reasonable excuse for why nobody is interfering with the war.

sploogesundays (01/07/2016) [-] Btw the New Gods aren't avatars, that is actually them. When they use the Boom Tubes to travel it just changes there bodies to attune to that Universe. It can be seen in JL: Darkseid War when DS is killed and some older comics.
#273 to #217
-
angelious (01/07/2016) [-] nah. they are avatars. the actual new gods are a lot more powerful than what we see. and they hang around outside the multiverse and only interact with the universes with their avatars.
for instance, darkseid in his true form was so powerful that even when he was dying he was destroying the entire multiverse around him.

Honestly, I think the "Bruce?" panel face is like "oh my what juicy information I have just received..."
And then the next one, I think, is where he's trying to act not-surprised about "Bruce" being leaked, so he acts facetious about Bruce's name ruining the Joker's "game", so the others don't suspect "oh **** the Joker knows Batman's name, we have to do something drastic now".
