Injustice Gods Among Us #24 Kalibak Pick A Bad Day To Invade Earth

[superfangirl1]

Superman kills Kalibak and goes talk to Barry vibrating at super speed so not to be interrupted.




When Barry refuse superman plan. He goes into action with getting a small sun boost and then going all around the earth using heat vision and super speed to evaporate the parademon troops.

while i don't disagree with the idea that some times one has to kill (especially in war time) I think i kinda agree with the reasoning sometime. Once you kill (for some people) it becomes easier and easier to rationalize it in other situations. Superman seems too willing to kill. I like old 52 Wonder Woman who did everything in her power to NOT kill, but when other lives were at stake, didn't hesitate for a second to kill.

She was a staple of self control.

Unlike the people we have here. See, what I REALLY dislike about the whole 'we don't kill' superheroes is that their usual excuse is basically 'I won't have any self control after doing it the first time' - and that is RICH coming from these self appointed vigilantes, especially Superman. Killing is hard, yes, but to imply that once you do it you'll become a mad serial killer is annoying.

I like the heroes that use it as a last option, an absolute last... the kind who won't send Darkseid home and hope he doesn't want to get revenge later.

the idea is once you justify it once you;ll find ways to justify it easier later.

yes, and that's a nice and fair idea. But DC (and Marvel... when they feel like it) always take it to sic extremes, a character kills pragmatically for the first time? They're mad, and need to be stopped, or go on some never ending downward spiral. Que Batman entering the scene and spouting some malarky.

It's always extremes and never middle grounds (as shown with this Injustice comic, or in JLU) which is jarring.

Seriously you'd think every supehero was a Jedi who had to worry about accumulating too many Darkseid points. (see what I did there? ;p)
