Because of Green Arrow. There, I said it. That bastard ruined it for the rest of us.

because i needed another reason to hate him

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He's more than happy to oblige.

 

[lixdexia]

he really has no shortage of shortcomings.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's almost enough to make you like Hawkman for being such a dick to him.

Almost.

 

[lixdexia]

nope. still not nearly enough

 

[chamber-music]

I think it would be a bigger deal if:

a) It wasn't in a 3 pages crappy backup anniversary story.
b) It wasn't dealing with such a lame story like real world Iran.
c) If Superman wasn't acting like such a self-righteous little ***** in it. I cannot stand when people write Superman this way. The last thing Superman is, is political. The guy catches people who fall off buildings and stops earthquakes and floods. He does not deal with civil unrest in the middle east or drug trafficking in the inner cities.

Yep just like Black Panther right Marvel

 

[Anubis]

I don't know, if I had Superman's powers, I'd focus on that s**t, and not so much on the big global threats. Cuz how often does Darksied or Mongal try to take over the universe? Once? Twice a week? Rest of your time could be spent making sure pookie and them don't accidentally kill some kids in the cross fire of their beef with them dudes on 115th street.

 

[chamber-music]

Superman don't care about low level street crime it ain't front page news

 

[TheCorpulent1]

In the DC universe? Seems like Darkseid and Mongal are right around the corner at least once a week. Besides, last time Superman tried to take on inner city crime, we got Gangbuster. So... no thanks.

 

[Anubis]

I forgot, Superman's a dick.

 

[Anubis]

In the DC universe? Seems like Darkseid and Mongal are right around the corner at least once a week.

See? That's even less.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Pookie and them have the plenty of heroes to cater to their needs, though. You're forgetting that like 1 in every 3 people in the DC universe is a superhero or supervillain, too. Superman's got plenty to deal with, plus he's gotta bang Lois sometime.

 

[BlackLantern]

Pookie and dem are going to be a force to be reckoned with once Darkseid starts supplying them with weapons.

 

[Anubis]

Intergang teams up with the Vice Lords to form the Intergalactic Mafia. Cities die. People smokin' star dust. Stardust babies born who burp where they fart and fart where they burp. All cuz Supes was too busy fighting Queen Bee in central park.

 

[lixdexia]

Pookie and dem are going to be a force to be reckoned with once Darkseid starts supplying them with weapons.

when they join intergang, then superman can worry about pookie and dem. until then metropolis has a police force.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

And that's when Superman shows up to deal with them. And then he goes and slaps the s*** out of Gangbuster for not stopping that before it got to his level. It's basically a whole management hierarchy within the superhero game. Superman's like a CEO. You don't call him if the copier's busted. You call him when the entire company is in the midst of a hostile takeover by pedophiliac slavers or the board is threatening to lay off half the staff. He deals with the big picture.

 

[Anubis]

Bulls**t. CEO's tend to make a s**t load of money sitting on their ass doing nothing, then bail when everything goes to s**t and make off with 2 or 4 hundred million for f**kin everything up.

A more apt metaphor would be Supes is more like.......the FBI in comparison to Mall cops.

 

[Franklin Richards]

No more war bonds for Superman?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Terrible CEOs, sure. But the good ones sit on their ass making a s***load of money until everything actually does go to s***, at which point they roll their sleeves up, deal with it, and earn their keep. Superman wouldn't be a terrible CEO. He's f***ing Superman.

 

[Anubis]

Roll up their sleeves and do what? Fire some people? That's about it. Call a meeting so other people can figure out how to solve the problem? And if all else fails, resign. (And walk away with a s**t load of money.)

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, that's where the analogy falls apart. Obviously, Superman would just punch things.

 

[lixdexia]

Well, that's where the analogy falls apart. Obviously, Superman would just punch things.

if he punches things it'd have to be in sloooooooooowwwwww motion. otherwise he'd just lift things and get shot in the eye.

 

[Anubis]

I mean, it's just easier for Supes to do it than, say, Green Arrow. he's gotta investigate, and build up contacts. Maybe go undercover. Supes could burn drug fields and terrorist camps from space. (While he's standing there lookin at the world as he often does.) Take out planes and boats that are smuggling the stuff. Strip a crack house down to fire wood in seconds.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Has Superman IV: The Quest For Peace taught us NOTHING?
