[QUOTE="teitan, post: 8561569, member: 3457"] Depends on genre, Superman is Lawful Good, Cyclops is Lawful Good, Captain America. You make a pointless argument because it breaks down based on the genre. Batman is Lawful Good. He doesn't work outside the law. Lawful Good is not necessarily man's LAW. If it is legal to kill beggars in the street is it Neutral Good to not kill Beggars in the streets? No, Lawful good would be to change or bend that law to benefit the majority.

Lawful Good is not Superman and only Superman. Lancelot is an example of Lawful Good, but so is Galahad. Gawain, even in his failure with the Green Knight, is an example of Lawful Good. Batman, with his personal code, he works with the police, he bends the law as needed in pursuit of making Gotham, society, a better place in the same way Superman, the SYMBOL of Lawful Good, bends the law to protect Metropolis.
