“I need to interrogate these goons and find where Superman’s mom is. Oh, I know, I’ll magdump these two chain guns on the top of my car into that warehouse where they’re hiding. I’ve seen the A-Team. The blind fire of a large volume of high velocity armor piercing rounds fired into that building will merely disarm the thugs of their weapons and leave Martha unharmed, so I can then have a little real-life Arkham Asylum vidya game sequence for shits and giggles.”

“I hate guns, but I’ll leave unlocked vehicles armed with military-grade weaponry lying around where my friends can find them by happenstance when they’d be convenient, like when I’m being choked out by Bane.”

“Harvey, I won’t kill you, but y’know gravity’s one of the four fundamental forces of the universe, and my arm’s tired from stopping Joker falling to his death earlier. Whoopsie!”

“I won’t kill these cops after me; they’re only doing their jobs. So I’ll just dump a cubic fuckload of anti-vehicular mines in an enclosed trafficway during a high-speed chase on Lower Walker Drive, and que sera, sera.”

“Joker, I won’t shoot you, I’ll just fill the street where you’re standing with live Vulcan 20mm rounds and shoot these high-explosive missiles next to you to...ummm...because...I should...clear all the smoke and gas. [Unleashes hell.] Um, yeah, that’s the why I missed with an entire ground attack plane’s armament. That’s the ticket.”

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
Having a No Kill Rule is all fine and dandy until you realize there are things worse than death, as the many thugs Batman must've crippled for life may attest. Reminds me of the last bit of Aaron's Ghost Rider, but that one may be an exception as Hell is a real thing and probably worse than being a quadriplegic, although that guy is going to die one day and go to Hell anyway sooooo...

But it's the comics universe we are talking about, so somebody is bound to come along and snap him out of it either accidentally or on purpose with a jolt of speed force, causing him to then become a speed vampire who needs to feed on speed to live.

A real hero would either safely imprison or just try to rehabilitate this murderous kid. Like, dress it up in superhero pageantry all you want, this is the equivalent of taking a fifteen year old who shot and killed another kid and, instead of even consigning him to the deeply flawed punitive justice system to do his time, sentencing him to eternal torture without trial.

I can't remember which speedster did it (Quicksilver?), but one of them straight-up killed a speedster who got didn't have the ability to withstand friction like he did. He just grabbed her and sped up until she disintegrated.

Yeah, true dat. The scene in the first movie really was jarring, but maybe just maybe barely excusable in character because of the imminent threat to public safety of all these death balloons and mystery floats. (Note: not excusable at all.) But I forgot it’s worse in the second one. E.g., he straight up murders a goon by sticking the goon’s own bomb to him, grinning like he’s the Goddamn Batman, and throwing the goon down some stairs where we see the blast of the explosion come out.


Ending the derail (?) with a funny panel from Invincible. Background for the two people who haven’t read this: basically, Superman is married and has a teenaged son (who is out of the house for a while), just gotten back from a few months in an alien dimension, and he’s called in sick for the day to the Justice League.



I was actually trying to find The Immortal’s “What would we super-heroes do without space?” scene but couldn’t find it. Anyone have it at hand?
