Injustice: Gods Among Us #32









Captain Atom fly into space as Superman tries desperately to get out of Atom grip on his throat.




Injustice: Gods Among Us #33







Batman's disastrous assault on Superman's fortress comes to a brutal end. As last issue when Superman and Captain Atom was fighting. Part of the fortress ceiling ice came crushing down dividing the team. Ollie got stuck on one side of the fortress with Clark's parents.

Ollie uses his head to make Clark not think straight so he could send a arrow with a hidden superhuman pill tape on through a opening in the fortress. Batman and team find the arrow. Batman tells Black canary they will wait for him, but she knows that Ollie is already dead.

Am I supposed to be bothered that Superman went & effortlessly killed Ollie by punching him? I've already seen him do worse things, four months ago when the game came out.

Honestly, I just stopped caring about the comic after Dick Grayson's death by falling.

EDIT: Just to be clear, my comment about not being bothered about Ollie's death was more about DC still publishing this comic leading into their upcoming video game months after said video game has been released, rather insulting you for posting this.

Just thought I should clear that up after I re-read it. =)

[superfangirl1]

It's okay. I know what you mean. ^_^

I never thought I see the day in a comic, where Superman beats somebody to death in front of his parents.

[protogarrett]

I'm curious to see how much more he can kick the puppy. I think he'll kill his parents next. It's almost becoming a game to see how much father he can fall.

...Next? He ends child prostitution by killing all the children in the world.

For the record the lead up to Captain Atom's death is the only good thing I have seen out of this whole mess. CA died very heroically.

[flint_marko]

can you please try to avoid giving such big spoilers for issues on the day they come out?

[jaybee3]

Didn't this all happen...and better in Mark Waid's Irredeemable (which was itself based on the idea of what-if Superman snapped)?

[superfangirl1]

Sorry, I didn't think spoiler matter much for people for the injustice comics. :(

[flint_marko]

In the pages not posted, Ollie tried shooting Superman with an arrow and it hit his father instead.

[flint_marko]

I usually like to not know what's going to happen when I read something.

[his_spiffynesss]

Yep! You actually care about the Plutonian's descent into madness and destruction. This is just so much torture porn.

[flint_marko]

Not really, the Plutonian just went crazy and started killing millions of innocent people. He didn't have any noble goals.

Here Superman is trying to protect the world, and is slowly becoming more and more authoritarian in the process.

[chrisdv]

...Did Superman move? Seems like Ollie would be too good a shot to hit the wrong guy.

[chrisdv]

To be fair, Green Arrow's death was like Nightwing's in that if you had played the game, you knew it was coming eventually.

[icon_uk]

That only applies if you HAVE played the game, which many people haven't.

[icon_uk]

"Slowly"?

[flint_marko]

I think it hit him and bounced off, or something.

[chrisdv]

Let me guess... Clark blamed Ollie, when he could have literally used several of his numerous powers to stop the arrow even hitting him?

[flint_marko]

Yes, slowly. He wasn't killing people like this in the beginning, and he's still not the total dictator he is in the game.

[damar148]

I do wonder what will happen with Clark's parents.

[flint_marko]

I don't think Superman bothered because he knew the arrow wouldn't hurt him (Ollie was actually trying to distract him so he could steal the superpills Luthor had been making) and he didn't think the arrow would hit his father.

Then Ollie shot another arrow past him (with the pill attached to it, so Batman's group could get it outside) but Superman probably just assumed he was trying to hit him again, and that's when he killed him.

I think by the time you've stranded your first water-dependent city state in the middle of the desert because they dared to disagree with your assumption of executive authority for the planet, you've lost any claim to be be acting in less than a dictatorial manner.

[flint_marko]

because they dared to disagree with your assumption of executive authority for the planet,

No, because their armies were threatening the planet with giant sea monsters.

And their initial attack had nothing to do with Superman; they were trying to a sink a whaling ship. Wonder Woman tried reasoning with them, one of the Atlanteans attacked her, and things escalated from there.

It seems like every time I see Captain Atom, someone is rupturing his containment suit.

[jlbarnett]

forget his dictatorship/authoritarianism. Right now he's a homicidal maniac who will happen to take over the world

[icon_uk]

I stand (well, sit) corrected on the details, thank you.

The pages you linked to clarify, but I don't think they help a lot counterargument wise.

It's clear from the pages that Aquaman, who is king of his independent city state, has rejected Superman's self-assumed authority to tell him what to do, and that is the reason that Wonder Woman and the JLA have come to see him, because Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Shazam and Hawk... person (sorry, I can't make out is it's Hawkman or Hawkwoman) is serious overkill for a shipping incident

Wonder Woman's "reasoning" there would have been somewhat more convincng if it hadn't been followed by her "SHUT UP! I am so sick of talking" line, which suggests she was all but looking for an excuse to escalate the fight.

Yes, she has just been shot by a nervous soldier, but not enough to more than slightly inconvenience her, if she was genuinely seeking a peaceful solution then she would have understood that that was a misunderstanding, not a declaration of war (though Injustice Wonder Woman seems seriously more miitant than her mainstream version)

I still hold that Superman has been acting as a dictator for many issues now. from the moment he usurped the authority of democratically elected officials because he didn't agree with them.
