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.

Couldn't you say the same thing the other way around? That villains are perpetuating problems, that criminals are perpetuating problems and that they cause the cycle that the heroes are trying to fix? If criminals disappeared, boom the cycle ends. From your perspective, if heroes go away, boom the cycle ends. The only difference between heroes and villains is that heroes want to end it on a positive note and villains just want to end it.
True heroism steams from fighting against your own evil. That's the only thing that will help you and others in the end.
You don't know what endless is. Play dark souls for 700 hours. Justice is about bringing down the tyranny, putting down those who would lose their humanity itself, and sometimes the only time to save a life is to take one. In the real world, I believe our Emergency Workers and Military should be appreciated for what they do. It can have a nasty effect on you, some of what they see; yet the continue to face those horrors for the sake of humanity itself, so, referring to humanity myself I think it's something to protect.
I'd actually just love to see a comic where this is the premis. A hero gets locked in jail, and we all know they could break out but they're heros so they don't. But they're locked in with all the enemies they put behind bars and then we get to see the prison brawls, the guards having to punish the heros for beating people up, the villains plotting and getting contraband to kill the hero and using the time they're all locked up and stuff.
Basically prison but people with superpowers

Yes, but a whole series, maybe spend a book or two on each hero and have the villains go in and out and you can alter the lineup a lot but keep seeing how it all works with the prison rules. Because some of the heros won't break those rules, others would to do whats right and you'd see a whole new dynamic

Yeah, but with supermans level of power you totally could micromanage the **** out of the world. He can move faster than a bullet. There's no excuse for earth not being a utopia in a few years with that sort of insane levels of ability.
It's really more that they just wildly misuse their power. Beating up thugs and stopping bank robbers? You can sow a country sized field in a day and save millions from starvation, what the **** is up your priorities, superman?

"This is how the world is, therefore it is right." I fail to see your reasoning.
You mean superman? And I mean sure, but no matter how many you kill there will always be more. It'll never end, just like war. Most villains are trying to accomplish something, with some big lofty goal like taking over the world, and most heroes are trying "to set the world right" but what the joker stand for?
He stands for nothing. He understands the world as naturally chaotic.
I believe the reason he does what he does is because in reality the whole world is "one big joke".
And so he laughs, and laughs, and laughs.
He doesn't play the game per say, he understands that it's all just a big game.
That's what makes him so dangerous.

There's already a hero based around this idea, read the Punisher sometime. His whole thing is that he knows crime is a war that will never stop, but he also knows that he's able to save people for the time being. He sees the bigger picture but still believes in giving each individual their punishment.

That's the point: To continuously rise up to the occasion and to never give up. It is not futile, especially when you see kids having fun instead of being killed.
