Wasn't part of the reason for the code to basically kill EC comics, because they (rightfully so) utterly dominated the horror comics? I get the feeling it wasn't because they were telling great, genre-defining stories (which let's be clear, they were) insomuch as apparently nobody else could achieve even basic competence.

I don't know enough about the Code to comment to that causation, but killing EC Comics was a definite goal. I don't have a real solid grasp of the situation, most of my knowledge comes from The Horror! The Horror!, an anthology of horror comics and examination of the genre and events surrounding the creation of the Code. Mostly what sticks when I think about the Code is the absolutely abysmal science performed in Seduction of the Innocent and how concerned parents and lawmakers just lapped that bullshit up.

Here's a rare golden oldie for most folks.. pretty sure they used these whenever they couldn't sell ad space in the books, which in the 70's-80s happened more often than not.. Obviously drawn/inked by marvelous Marie Severin, and probably was in more than a few scattered Marvel issues..  Love that Iron Man has Salicrup in a neck lock and is obviously telling him "you don't draw me with the nose- EVER" Binary Badger fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Mar 13, 2017 |

Batman murders like 20 people during those. The first thing he does in combat in the first issue is throw a guy off the roof. The "no killing" thing came later.

He went completely off the deep end by that point and it's a mixture of Picasso-esque art and horrible dialogue.      The creepy girl is Lara, Superman and Wonder Woman's daughter. The series ends with Superman finally admitting that Batman is right and both of them breaking their rules to start killing bad guys, and the final villain is Dick Grayson, having been fired by Bruce for being "unable to cut the mustard" as Bruce keeps saying and being made immortal and insane through genetic manipulation. It's in the same continuity as All-Star Batman, of the "I'm the goddamn Batman" line.

The old genre convention where being knocked unconscious has no negative side effects is working overtime on Batman's behalf.

It's not like the good guys don't get knocked unconscious on a regular basis with no side effects. Batman should logically be like one of those retired wrestlers who can't remember his name because of all the concussions.

It always bugged when superheroes have no problem killing intelligent aliens but will go to insane degrees to not kill a human. Same with them killing artificial intelligence robots. If they're sentient, don't kill them guys. Be consistent.
