Frank Millers Batman beating up scooby doo villians would be amazing. I need a few episodes of that.

It's a good thing fans got into an uproar about Superman II and the Burton films the same way they are now and hold the Marvel film's characters to the same standard seeing as they too operated under a no kill code for decades...


What's that?
 
Eh... superman is sorta suppose to embody the perfect superhero though.. he's pretty much the very example of a hero who shouldn't kill... him killing is sorta like watching an angel fall from grace imo...

Yeah, Marvel characters are held to a different standard.

You have a character named the Punisher who kills people. Make sense.

You have a character with indestructible metal claws that stabs people. Yeah makes sense.

Batman and Superman aren't the Punisher or Wolverine. And before you go well what about Iron Man and Cap, they don't have the same morals.

The real problem with Snyder's films is really a matter of tone and characterization. The killings in those other films don't stand out as much because the films get so much else right about the characters.

His Superman is dour and constantly encouraged to be selfish by other characters who are traditionally his moral center...and then he also snaps necks. The deaths presented by Snyder just provide the most tangible detail to complain about in a franchise that is just kind of wrong top to bottom in a variety of more subtle ways.

But also Kingdom Come came in the early 90s and was rebuking pretty much all of comics culture at the time which definitely would have included the Burton franchise.

And yes there are decades worth and thousands of issues and multiple other adaptations wherein those characters operated under a no kill rule. In various incarnations, the point at which Superman is forced to kill someone has been when he chooses to outright abandon the mantle of Superman. Its the end of Superman not his damn origin story.

Wait what?

There's also that Superman story where he kills two Hitlers then burns himself alive at the end after shooting them full of bullets. :D

Also, the Burton movies are still my favorite Batman movies ever.
