Thats the cheezy type of oldschool hero stuff that I am glad they have gotten rid of imo. Once again, that's my major issue with this. The idea of a hero murdering the bad guy is accepted happily, while the idea of actually staying true to some sort of moral code is viewed as old school. Superman is not supposed to be realistic, even within the DC universe. A lot of the other characters there have trouble dealing with someone who is that pure. I don't know - given that both made such strong stands against murder, it's not a natural progression, unless we're now celebrating the moral disintegration of heroism? Is mediocrity and bowing to 'the system' now heroic? That's why we have Dexter and the Punisher - we do need violent justice, but we also need the idea of the Paladin - otherwise we are no more than grime packaged as sentient. I think it's a case of consumerism beating down nobility. The thing is, in neither case was the murder strictly necessary. The Superman film degenerated into sloppy action sequences and they didn't know how to end it. Wait, the writer obviously had this 'cutting edge' idea - but then it's DC's fault for hiring someone who didn't get Superman to write the film - which suggests that DC doesn't get Superman anymore either. The change is too extreme and isn't accompanied with the requisite psychological progression or change - if you want them to kill, you need to change the characters sufficiently, within the storyline, so that their actions now make sense in the new paradigm. Having not shifted the paradigm, you cannot expect the action to be 'understandable'. It would make more sense for Dexter to start forgiving killers, than for Superman to kill. I dont see how having characters conform to such a arbitrary "rule" without justification being a good idea Are you seriously saying that not killing people is an arbitrary rule? At what point in our society did we devolve to the point where killing the opponent is the go-to option, especially for those who are supposed to be heroes, and above the usual human failings?

Thats whats completely stupid and unrealistic(Yea I im mentioning realism when are talking about superheroes) imo and im glad they got rid of it. I dont see how having characters conform to such a arbitrary "rule" without justification being a good idea, even if anybody could easily imagine situations where their ideals would not function properly. Unless they pull out some Mc Guyver like conveniece by magically being able to find some way to trap/subdue their enemy with some matches and a piece of gum(Or their tech/magic like equivalent). Thats lazy writing in my eyes.

It was justified in the situations. Batman was fighting against a madman who was trying to destroy the city. Supes was fighting against someone who had the potential to destroy the world. In both of these situations, the death of the villain is justified. It serves the greater good. The world is a better place without Ra's or Zod. My issue is that both Bats and Supes are supposed to be incorruptible. For both of them there is no justification for killing an enemy. Killing an enemy once does make them anti-heroes. They're still the protagonist, and they're still on the side of good and all that. They've just lost what made them the pure/true heroes. In terms of the booze idea, never drinking would make them heroes. Drinking (once or more) would make them anti-heroes. Being alcoholics would make them villains.

He lets a man die. It doesn't even seem to bother him later. The death of Dent does bother him, but less because it happened on his watch and more because of what Dent became. Superman has murdered someone. He's outright broken the guy's neck in a fight. That's okay though because he feels bad about it. Extreme last resort? I dunno about that. Supes from the comics is genius level intelligence. He's got all the knowledge from most of the universe in his head. He's fighting against an equal in terms of strength and abilities, so because of that, he has to kill the guy? With all of his (and Zod's) unreal abilities and intellect, the best that they can do is murder. The fact that you can view two characters as not being anti-heroes, despite the fact that they're both outright murderers, is an issue. Neither of them killed the enemy by accident. Neither of them were in positions of immediate and life threatening danger. Maybe you can argue that Supes was, but Zod had lost that fight already. Maybe you're right, and they'll use this as the turning point for Supes where he decides that never again will he kill. I just wonder now that they took the line in the sand for these characters and shifted it, why bother with a line at all?

Killing was a extreme last resort in supes movie... and it clearly bothered him immensely.

Dunno about the Batman stuff, can easily think of situation that he would be "forced" to kill but cant remember the movie being that way. Should be way easier to get bats into that position than superman imo. ________________________________ From: alasdair.donaldson@xxxxxxxxxx<mailto:alasdair.donaldson@xxxxxxxxxx> To: cpt-fgc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:cpt-fgc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [CPT-FGC] Re: Hi Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2013 09:01:52 +0000 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?

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.

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...
