Superman Loses His Humanity - Injustice

[@emilioluisacosta6247]

Why on earth are they making such a big fuss about killing Parademons who aren't even sentient human beings?

[@jester994]

Forced narrative for a story arc written poorly. Most "what if superman was evil" stories are short but editorial wanted a running storyverse and the writers could not or did not have the ability to do it appropriately. "Injustice" shouldn't be taken seriously, just enjoy the craziness.

Hard to see Batman as sane or logical when he say's "No" to Clark for killing demons that would of ultimately slaughtered thousands of people. What , does he think it is better to just "keep fighting" where the casualty numbers would be catastrophic and many of the heroes would of probably lost their own lives too? The whole never kill regardless of circumstances is just silly at this point.

[@FernandoComicsOfficial]

Totally agreed. It just so happens that Superman was in such a mindset where this made killing easier for him, but there's plenty of heroes who kill and don't spin down a rabbit hole of murder. 🌩 🔨 🌩 for example lol

The problem may not be the no killing thing rule. The main problem is the way Superman handled it. Because lets remember that this is the Superman that is in a traumatic state were in this universe, his wife Lois and their unborn child was killed by Superman, in a big trick arranged by Joker. Superman has allways fought without the necessary to kill, because he believes in humanity. But Joker proved to him that there are great consequenses by allways following this rule and by killing of Lois, the unborn child and at the same time destroying Metropolis, Joker did something to Supermans mind that no other villain, including Luthor, Darkseid and Zod ever did. He broked him! During the Injustice arc we've seen Supes do really shocking stuff and for Batman, he hoped Superman would somehow go back to the boy scout he was earlier. But when Supes does something on a scale like that, he litteraly wiped out an invasion in a matter of seconds. That means Supes opened another door into more agression, insanity and allowing himself to kill without thinking. The classical supes would do this also, but he would then be in remorse and cry for the act he did, but at least Bats and Lois would be there for him. When Batman said "no", he knew that Injustice Supes would not remorse. Thats the big problem. He would not be any different than from Zod or Bizarro!

[@NarratorII]

@@z-man1237 honestly the only two dc heroes that shouldn’t kill are Superman and Batman (Batman is in a terrible mental condition usually.) and Superman is literally the hope of earth, he falls to a low where he just kills his enemies instead of giving them a second chance then people start also following his footsteps. Besides that I don’t really understand why other dc heroes just don’t like killing. Even Batman allowed other people in dc to kill aslong as they were in a good mental condition (unlike Superman here). And yeah invincible is more realistic tbh.

@Иосиф Виссарионович Сталин ... story writing in a nutshell mr cynic. If you really wanna feel that way about writing that practically every writer shares that sounds like a personal problem. My point is hes become something far more useful than anyone who was born good. Kinda like the other awesome quote, You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain. Evidently the same is vise versa. You either die a villain, or live long enough to see yourself become a hero. In both cases, its up to the individual whether they'd like to keep the change of heart or not. Humility is the hardest lesson life throws at anyone. Let's think of other Vegetas... Shadow... Lex Luthor... Vergil... magneto...deadpool... Arthur Morgan and John Marston... Red Hood... Harley Quinn... dude these are just the ones I think of right off the bat. My point is none were born good, all as heroes (depending on your definition of hero) held a ideology that took them places a born hero would never be strong enough to go. The gray.

[@aziremperorofthesands6369]

@@lolstalgic9602 its not vague. the only problem is that they use the whole "no killing" thing as a main plot. that tends to make the story weird as a rule like that is not very easy to follow neither does it make sense. i mean, in the movies sups killed general zod but he didn't become some maniac murdrer who made a regime and started killing kids who disagreed with him turning 2 cities to dust. if you use something like "no killing" as a main plot, you either need to be very strict on it or be like a normal person. we all have that same no killing rule but we don't go around thinking "oh man, if my loved once were killed i would never kill the murderer". batman would also never say something like that. it would be better writing if we were told that batman is a murderer that is holding himself back. and that if he ever got started he would never be able to stop. and that was the reason why he was so against it all. and you could make ww the main antagonist by making her enable sups. and then you have 2 sides at war for injustice. but now its one massive shit show where batman is against killing any and all things but has no problem giving random people permanent brain injuries just for doing their jobs. and ww is the most inconsistent cuz at some points she acts as if she is against sups while at other points she is totally fine with him killing billy or flattening whole cities. its inconsistan with the plot and the reasoning behind it all.

That's the problem with Superheroes in concept. Batman essentially functions as a cop. He fights crime. He works outside the law, but he fights and stops criminals. Yes, there is the whole mental instability where he fears what he will do if he kills, but often less talked about is the moral dilemma of Bruce doesn't have the RIGHT to decide who lives and dies on an individual basis. Society determines punishment for criminals, not Batman. ...but this isn't "crime". This is an alien INVASION. This is a WAR. In this context, Superheroes are NOT cops, they are soldiers, and holding back, refusing to kill enemy combatants who are targeting civilians, is just insane... Joker not being executed and somehow getting a nuke are not a failure of Batman, it is a failure on society's part to put a monster six feet under the ground and keep him there...

This is a Superman who would kill Batman instantly for standing in his way. Not exactly the same scenario. A good example for Batman would be the Doomsday animated movie. Doomsday lands. Batman tries for a solid 45 or so seconds of screen time to kill it, systematically throwing out every single tool he has, gets his ass kicked. Because ultimately he's just a dude in a suit. The reason he can beat Superman is because it's *our* Superman. He can prepare for that. He knows how that Superman works and operates. The thing that puts them on equal ground isn't raw power- it's Batman's ability to plan ahead and access to a potentially limitless amount of resources because of his wealth. Give Batman a good month or so to set up? Sure. Show up out of the blue and start swinging? Not so much.

@@kolat10 your logic is flawed by real world experiences, Soldiers, actual good soldiers that do things cause they wanna end wars and protect people do exist and as such from that perspective they should be evil after killing yet they always do the same thing, they fight, not cause they enjoy it but cause they have to, to protect what they love, I agreed that there are crazy killers that just enjoy it among soldiers but there are good people as well and also tell me, what has Batman achieved by leaving Joker a psycho killer alive for so long, he even stops other people from killing him, that is insanity at its finest, knowing the harm and being clearly able to fix the problem yet not doing anything about it cause he “thinks” he would become a villain, I would put the Injustice timeline on Batman’s shoulders cause he never tried to stop joker permanently, always clinging to the “we must be better” or “we do not fall to their level” ideas which are held up by the fact that he doesn’t kill a mass murderer who will kill many people each time he gets out of prison and Joker has escaped plenty of times so those deaths can also be put on Batman. If I had the power to then I would find out who is truly evil for evils sake and who came to a life of crime to survive and then kill the truly deranged such as the Joker and give the others jobs and help so that they can integrate back into society as good people. After that maybe make a defense force made up of individuals who are willing to do the right thing and defend earth from those who wish it harm, just my take on this entire thing. And absolute power doesn’t corrupt absolutely, that’s a load of crap, only those too weak of mind and incapable of making the hard decisions will fall into that category, Bill Gates for example has enough money to have a private very well funded army if he wished, he could also probably by some of the countries of our world with how rich he is, does he do that? Does he bully people into giving him stuff, does he have a private army to do whatever he wants? He doesn’t.

The interesting thing here is that Caliban surrendered. If Supes had accepted the surrender and then demanded that Caliban call off the demons, that would've immediately ended the situation. Instead, Superman went completely off the rails and got caught up in a ideological kill frenzy. He was so hyped up from killing parademons that he couldn't stop killing. The worst part was that he didn't go full beserker. He still kept his reason but the instant he crossed the line he didn't even bother trying to cross back. This reminds me of Jason Todd and Batman. There was a video explaining how Jason Todd somehow exceeded Batman in a single aspect as all the other Robins had. It turns out that Jason Todd could cross the line and be discrete on who to kill and who to spare. If Batman had crossed the line even once by killing anyone including the Joker, Batman would not have been able to stop. Jason Todd could stop. Superman couldn't stop.

I think that's a point that a lot of people are missing. If Superman was properly exercising the principle of self defense/defense of others, he already had applied the minimum force necessary to achieve his goal. Some Parademons did die, but Kalibak surrendered and the fight was over. By continuing to fight Kalibak and then killing every Parademon, it was no longer about defense, it was excessive force, and Superman did that out of anger, not to protect people. His job was already done but he kept going because he couldn't stop.

Superman understood that in a brawl or a fight between hero and villain, you can subdue the villain. But a war is different, to quickly end a war and reduce casualties, you don’t subdue the enemy, you eliminate them.

[@empyrean7649]

One thing that annoys me the most about this injustice story is that Batman screwed up the situation more than he helped. He kept pushing Superman to make more drastic decisions. BATMAN MADE A FIGHT IN PLACING SUPER VILLAINS IN SPECIAL PRISONS, TO DO THE JOB OF THE INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT, FOR A CIVIL WAR OF HEROES. BATMAN SHOULDN'T BE SMART?

I really enjoy your videos fernando. Also i'd like to add that supermans ethics and optimistic view on their being peace and harmony on both sides together is not impossible, however in most cases it's highly improbable and although he is both extrememly intelligent, can think super fast, fly and is basically a physical powerhouse I think that his willpower is quite weak, as soon as you can influence him that his morale code just will not cut it and there will always be conflict until one party is out of commission for good, he could be twisted into the opposite of the blue boyscout people see him as.

Look at Superman's eyes just before he leaves Flash too. He looks like he's pleading for another answer there. He didn't just come to Flash for permission, but for another possibility. When Flash didn't have one it confirmed for him that Kalibak was right and at that point his last hope to retain his morals died. The joker didn't just kill Lois, he destroyed everything Superman believed in.

@@briannarvaez203 It is actually much greater without a question. Superman broke through the 4th dimension beating the greatest beings in the universe of DC. He literally beat his own writers in one issue. In another issue, he carried infinitely and broke through the source wall knowing everything that there is to know in the DC universe. He's just OP all around. the only reason they make him look like a kid sometimes is that he has to be innocent and weak a little or every invasion or problem will end like this. INSTANTLY. Did you not see him match the flash? THE FLASH, who's meant to specialize in speed? Superman is the jack of all trades and the special of everything at the same time.

[@torntokoroa]

You do realize the comic and game are tied together right? The comic is the lead-up to the first game. Everyone you saw die in the comics died in that universe

[@ashslaa]

In my own opinion, in this instance superman did what was needed to be done. Sometimes, one must become the monster, to be reviled, despised and vilified in order to do what others can not, or rather will not do. But again that's just my opinion, that and I've always been a sucker for an anti-hero, which in that moment superman was, heh!

100% a sensible kill in my book (civilians were dying, nuff said), but also, gosh is this Clark's life unfair in terms of how everything seems aligned to push him to extremity. Dude is trying to get himself back on the more generally-accepted hero track (I think no-kill policies are stupid, but that's niether here nor there) aaaaand BOOM, Kalibak shows up with a murder-boner, then actively GLOATS about how Superman won't kill him and he will therefore kill everyone. Yeesh.

[@Rocky-oq9cy]

You know, I think one of the reasons the Injustice story turned out so well was because it really wasn't just one event that completely turned Superman into what he was at the end. Sure, the Joker killing thousands of people including his wife is the spark that STARTED the fire, but in reality it was a much greater amount of smaller things that we got to see slowly change Superman's point of view. This event being one of them. He seemed much more human because of this. You could see Superman in a constant conflict with himself. Always thinking "What should I do? What is the best option?" But at the same time fighting his emotions and trying so hard to contain them. He knew both answers. He knew the logical answer and he knew the emotional answer. He just struggled with himself to decide which one he needed to choose. This event was enough to make Superman feel like he had to make a choice. One death for the safety of 100 people. In his mind. After all of the things he saw. He decided to switch over. He was no longer of the mindset that everyone could be convinced to be good. He decided that it wasn't worth it to try to find that innocence anymore. Not if millions died on the path it took to reach it. His logic made sense. You saw him develop over time and it was really difficult to pick a side.

[@davidfinch7407]

I am 100% in favor of the "no kill" rule when it comes to crime fighting. I also support it when fighting monsters, provided there is another, less deadly option. But Kalibak is right- when you are fighting a war, if you aren't prepared to take a life, then you have no business fighting a war. I assume the military forces of the planet were also fighting the Parademons- will Batman lecture the U.S. Army that it isn't moral killing the Parademons? Clark is supposed to be shown as becoming evil here but Batman's moral code in this scenario is just absurd. True evil would be sticking to a code that gets innocent people killed just so you can feel better about yourself.
