DC loves doing the corrupt Superman story. I wish they'd have the stones to do a corrupt Batman story. And not the kind of nihilistic Dark Knight Returns thing that gets worshipped by manchildren. He's a billionaire sociopath who beats up homeless people and the mentally ill. He's practically a Bond villain or a candidate for the GOP nomination.

There was a comic about that, Nemesis. he artificially inseminated the police commissioner's daughter with his sperm, and then rigged her uterus with a booby trap so she couldn't get an abortion That's really the kind of comic you want, Trast?

lol I just read the synopsis on wikipedia and jesus christ Mark Millar is terrible. Get this, apparently boom boom boom got a detail wrong. He didn't inseminate the hero's daughter with his sperm, he inseminated her with the hero's son's sperm so it would be an incest baby.

Nemesis breaks free, kills 97 guards with his bare hands, and frees the inmates, and then destroys the prison. He kidnaps Morrow's children, forcing Morrow to reveal secrets: his wife had an affair; his son is gay; and his daughter had a secret abortion. All of these secrets were kept from him as Morrow is a devoted Catholic. Nemesis releases the children but he has artificially inseminated Morrow's daughter with the son's sperm, with her womb rigged to collapse if an abortion is attempted.

I find it hilarious because WW1 is a helluva a lot more ambiguous morally than World War 2. WW2 had a pretty clear villain in Hitler and the various Fascist regimes that supported him and doing pretty clear cut atrocities, such as invading other countries and genocide. Germans fighting in WW2 were either 1) conscripts whom fought out of ignorance of what was going on, fear of reprisals, under the mistaken belief of fighting to defend the country from Bolsheviks, and/or really had an axe to grind when it came to the French or British or 2) volunteers and elitists who actively participated in the horrors of the Nazi regime. The Germans in WW1 were basically fighting to because they wanted to hang Princip for assassinating one of their nobles and the Russians wouldn't give him up? Like huh? The motives of a German soldier in WW1 were less clear cut because most of the time, they were just drafted and sent to the front. It's hilarious because DC's trying to emulate the villainy in WW2 with Wonder Woman fighting the Germans, but the real villains of WW1 were way behind the front lines on both sides, meaning Wonder Woman is going to chopping off heads of German conscripts who have the same culpability as their French and British counterparts.

Mark Millar's the guy who did The Boys, right? A friend got me to read the first few issues of it back in college and I remember it being tryhard edgy bullshit. For reference's sake one of her favourite movies was Boondock Saints so not exactly the arbiter of good taste.

I watched one of the DCAU movies last night, and I couldn't help but notice- Wonder Woman's pretty consistently portrayed as something of a violent anachronism in the DCAU. She's generally on the side of justice, but pretty happy to swing a sword or throw a punch to make a point because that's how you did it in ancient Greece. Is that her most common persona these days?

Isn't she just going to care about the women, like go after solders that rape or kill noncombatants? I think that was in a cartoon once.

I dunno, if Ares is the main bad guy (which he should be) WW1's reputation for being a pointless bloodbath could be a pretty good backdrop for him, at least compared to WW2 where it would be at odds with that war's noble allies versus evil Nazis mythos.

just imagine reading the screenplay to BvS. like just imagine it falling into your lap and you read the entire thing unironically. now imagine that you thought it was good, or at least good enough to jumpstart a multi-billion dollar movie franchise. now imagine you wrote the drat thing thinking it was a good idea how did not one person at any point in the creative process raise a red flag and say "actually this is garbage." to answer my own question: because the studio doesn't care

The motives of a German soldier in WW1 were less clear cut because most of the time, they were just drafted and sent to the front. Even better (simplified version): Austria-Hungary (A-H) wanted to avenge the death of its heir, who was murdered by a Serb. Serbia (which consists of modern-day Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, etc.) refuses to give in to deliberately excessive demands, knowing that Russia had promised to defend them if they were ever attacked. Russia is allied with France, who has promised Russia it would help them if they were ever attacked. A-H knows all this, so it asked Germany if it would help them out if they attacked Serbia (+ Russia and France). Germany also knows all this, but agrees, since the A-H empire is their only friend in Europe. Germany knows that it will be surrounded in this type of scenario, so comes up with the idea of knocking France out of a war first will enable it to turn around and knockout Russia. Germany has to go through Belgium in order to bypass French defenses, so that France can be knocked out quickly. Belgium is Switzerland-lite, and doesn't want anyone using its territory. Belgium's sovereignty is guaranteed by Great Britain. Germany knows all this. A-H declares war on Serbia, which brings in Russia. Germany attacks France via Belgium. Belgium calls Great Britain into the war. Italy is allied with A-H and Germany, but wasn't given a heads-up about what was being planned by its allies. Great Britain, France. et al. convince butt-hurt Italy to join on their side. During the war, the Ottoman Empire joins on the side of A-H and Germany. A shitload of smaller countries join in, mostly with the non-Germanic side. The Germans who really knew why they were fighting who they were fighting sure as hell weren't on the front lines. I'd be willing to bet 99% were fighting because they were

One of the main causes of WWI was that the German Kaiser became too ambitious and wanted to build up the navy to contest with British empire's oversea colonial markets. Rapid raising of a regional superpower is the most unstable state in geopolitics, usually it results in major warfare and reestablishment of new world order. Causes of WWII was WWI and the idiotic Treaty of Versailles.
