That's fine, maybe the concepts of Superman and Batman are outdated.

In the comics, the idea of killing the bad guys is something that they think 
about. Batman specifically doesn't kill anyone. After Bain breaks his back, 
someone else takes over being Batman. After that guy lets a villain die, Bruce 
Wayne freaks out and takes back the mantle of the bat.
Similarly Superman does face retardedly strong enemies, like Zod. The whole 
point of Superman is that he is the absolute in terms of virtue. That's why he 
leads the Justice League. He's the only out there that doesn't fall from grace. 
Sure, having someone that pure is a bit boring for a film, but that's what his 
character is.

I find it a bit sad that they've taken the two characters out there in the DC 
universe who will never kill for any reason, and have both of them just give up 
and become murderers. Batman doesn't kill Ra's al Gul out of self defence. He 
lets the guy die. Superman kills Zod because he can't think of a better idea.
Great.. and that's the best that the world is supposed to offer?

Maybe it's just that there are enough anti-heroes out there and heroes with 
massive flaws. Was it too much to ask for one that doesn't just give up and 
take the easy route?

I think its lazier writing thinking up some campy reason why superman could get 
away with not killing.

Against "normal" opponents sure, hes godlike compared to humans so he wont need 
to resort to lethal means... but against some of the other DC powerhouses or 
another Kryptonian?  Fuck off... im not a kid anymore.

Just sounds like some old cheesy leftover of what heroes of old could 
accomplish.  Beat the baddy, save the girl, everything is always fine.  Cheezy 
imo.
I just dont think that would work anymore in modern entertainment.

It's lazy writing. Either that or Zack Snyder just wanted to stamp his own feel 
on it.
Either way, they got rid of one of the defining characteristics of Superman. 
He's supposed to be more than just a vigilante. He's not supposed to be a 
killer. There are heroes that walk that line - Wolverine, Cap'n, Punisher and 
alike on the Marvel side. On the DC side, Lobo, Wonder Woman, GL. They've all 
killed. Bats and Supes are supposed to be different. No excuses.

I still dont see the problem with Supes killing...

Would not have been a paragon of virtue either if he willingly just lets people 
die that he could save

I'm still pissed off with what DC has done with their films. Although I liked 
the idea of a more serious, less cartoony approach to both Batman and Superman, 
I seriously dislike the fact that they've both effectively killed enemies in 
their films - Batman lets Ra'sal Gul die in Batman begins. Supes takes out Zod. 
Great. They've both dedicated themselves to being absolute paragons of virtue 
and both first films end with them failing to uphold that.
Green Lantern was a joke.

Anyways... Still have no real idea who they could cast as Wonder Woman. Finding 
an actress who looks the part - someone who could take Batman in a fight 
without breaking a sweat - is a bit of an issue.

Not Wonder Woman material. There are far better picks.

Ben Affleck as Batman = fail.

Not sure if I agree with all the casting choices here. Then again, I'm sure 
they know what they're doing.
