Who will kill Maxwell Lord?

[DrMylesOBoogie]

According to http://www.voicesfromkrypton.com/justice_league_on_film/index.html
it will be Batman and not Wonder Woman.

If thats the case I cannot enjoy this movie. Seems like a pointless and annoying change to the story.

Anyone else think that Max Lord might end up shooting Barry Allen in the head instead of Blue Beetle?

 

[Jake Cassidy]

It's about time Batman actually does something that helps the innocent. How many people would he save if he just killed Joker?

 

[Majik1387]

I will kill Maxwell Lord.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Seriously, it'll probably be Wonder Woman. Or Aquaman could ram a trident up his arse. He has no problem with killing.

 

[Cousin Itt]

Batman isn't going to kill anybody.

That would be a big mistake.

 

[I Am The Knight]

I doubt Batman does it. But I kinda prefer him to commit murder and not WW. Unfaithful to the comics, but what the hell. It is a tricky thing, don't you think?

 

[Wally West]

Depends on the situation. Batman didn't kill Ros in BB, he just left him to die. It'll probably be something anti-climactic like that, I can't imagine there being a harsh scene with Batman literally beating him to death, or slitting his throat with a batarang - you know he's not gonna shoot him- if he does that's a big deal.

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

It should be just like the comic, he kills BB and WW snaps his neck like a twig. I hope to see the WW Supes fight in the movie, cause it was awesome in the comic!

 

[Lando]

WW will kill Max (hopefully.)

 

[I Am The Knight]

That has been "comfirmed" to be one of the movie's highlights.

I'm still not sure if I want WW to kill Lord, though. It's one hell of a call. But she did do it in the comics, and for good reasons, so I guess it's fine if it is her.

 

[Majik1387]

^Along with Bat's inclusion in the fight.

 

[Lando]

At the point of Barry getting shot instead of Ted. No: Blue Beetle needs to have a part in this!

 

[I Am The Knight]

Well, we know for sure Barry dies in this, so it's not much of a stretch if Lord offs him...

 

[Lando]

Sadly your point is logical.

 

[Dotten]

I'd like it better if Batman does the killing. His detective skills will lead him to the conclusion that the only way one can save Wonder Woman from Superman (and all in all the whole world from Supermans rage) is to kill Lord. And so be it.

It makes more sence having Batman do the killing. A Superman vs. Batman fight would not last more then a minute, with one of them winning (Bats being squashed or Bats using Kryptonite for a quick victory). But Superman vs. WonderWoman could go on for a while, giving Batman the chance to figure out how to stop Lord. So it makes more sence to have Bats do the Maxkilling, rather then WW.

 

[I Am The Knight]

If they follow the comics then Superman will get close to killing Batman, forcing Wonder Woman to confront Lord on how to stop him. Lord will "suggest" that she kills him, and she will do so....

Yep, but I really don't want this to be a copy of a comic-story. Let it inspire, not follow it all the way.

 

[Majik1387]

I'd rather see Wonder Woman kill, not Batman.

 

[I Am The Knight]

I'd rather she is more "pure" t: and doesn't do any killing. But I'm fine if she does kill Lord.

 

[The Guard]

I would imagine it would be Wonder Woman. Scoops have pointed to it being her, not Batman. Why they'd make Batman do it is beyond me. Now, Batman may come close to killing Superman to stop him...

Since when was Wonder Woman "pure"? She's a freaking Amazon warrior.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Batman come close to killing Superman? Imagine an evil Superman, without a moral compass. All the kryptonite jewellery and 'prep-time' in the world couldn't save Batman. I hate how Batman always has to beat Superman when, logically, he really wouldn't stand a chance.

 

[J. Stooge]

Batman should never kill. He makes a point not to. He works with the police of Gotham City and recognises that even if he were to kill someone like the Joker, he's just as bad. His parents were killed in front of his eyes with a gun. It goes against his character to make him ever use one.

The Sacrifice storyline was one of the first comics I'd read, and it's one of my favourites. I don't really like the idea of Maxwell Lord being featured as the villian in the first movie, but if that's the way they're going then the by the time that Maxwell Lord is revealed as the threat, Batman should be in ultra-intensive care in the Watchtower thanks to Superman.
Wonder Woman is a trained Amazonian. It's not above her to kill. She's slain many mythological beasts. She's the one who tracks Lord and uses her lasso to have him reveal the only way to relinquish his control on Superman is to kill him.

I'll be pissed if we don't get some WW neck snapping action out of this.
