[QUOTE="ShinHakkaider, post: 6145334, member: 9213"] That last execution is a bit of cheat without context Morrus... [Spoiler]If I remember correctly that earth that he executes the Phantom Zone Villains on is an earth where they KILLED almost EVERY LAST HUMAN on it. WIth the three of them ganging up on Superman who I think was the last person left fighting he maneuvers them into the area where the Kryptonite is hidden. Being that the Kryptonite in this alternate universe doesnt effect him at all he uses it only because THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE lest these guys find their way onto HIS earth. It's a HUGE DEAL for Superman because he normally doesnt kill. It's such a big deal that he deals with it over the course of several issues and pretty much almost has an emotional break because of the actions that he took. There's a context to his actions in the comics and I'm a little concerned that because of the exceptions it's almost like it's OKAY for Superman to kill because he's done it before under EXTREME duress. Superman is not a killer at least not a casual one. Neither is Batman. I personally dont want superhero comics to reflect reality in such a way where it takes away the heroic aspect of these characters and I'm not even a huge DC fan. The REAL WORLD SUCKS. People who should no better make up all sorts of excuses and rationales to do things that they know they shouldnt and look for the easy way out. Often without ramifications. If Superman kills and isn't effected by it on some sort of emotional level (because his moral core is SO STRONG?) Then I submit that that character is Superman like, but NOT Superman. [/Spoiler] This is just my opinion of course. [/QUOTE]
