The Batman: Pics, Videos, and Other Awesomeness

that would be less unexpected than a shark repellant on a helicopter.

 

I present you, with Klingon repellent...

 

I want to be Superman as much as Gandalf wants the One Ring. I would try to be a force for good, but you would all be lucky if it took me a full five year years to declare myself High Councilor of Earth like in the Injustice Gods Among Us comic series.

Either that or the CCP and/or Putin opted to nuke humanity into extinction rather than let me dethrone them.

If I could be any superhero, I'd want to be Freakazoid. I want to goof around and make silly jokes and flirt with pretty girls.

 

That could happen even if you were batman..
But if you are obscenely rich thatre's also a good chance that you could just live your billionaire's life and don't care about the rest of the world.

 

Multiple Batman writers cover the question "Why don't kill the Joker? (and only the Joker)."

Joker is arguably the only Batman villain that has zero capacity for redemption. He also kills, tortures, and maims just for fun as opposed to for some goal. It has been argued by many people that by not killing the Joker when he could, Batman is ultimately complicit in every crime Joker commits every time he escapes Arkham.

The first answer Batman gives is usually that if he killed Joker, the worst Gotham villain, eventually the same rationale would come up that he should kill the second worst villain in Gotham who is now the worst villain. That is ultimately what happens to Superman in the Injustice series. He keeps crossing new uncrossable lines one at a time.

The second answer Batman sometimes gives is that Joker represents an avatar of Gotham's evilness. If Joker died, someone else would take up the mantle.

Both answers Batman usually gives would apply to me if I had Superman's powers (which is basically an unlimited ability to kill people you don't like), after I popped my murder cherry once, it would be easier to do it again.

The Soviet Union is official dissolved and Russia is something different but Putin is very much a product of the USSR. If he died, someone equally bad would take his place. The CCP is a vast institution. There are thousands of CCP officials who could theoretically take Xi Jing Ping's place.

Hypothetically, if I had Superman's power I could fly into one of the parties large meeting and kill everyone.



But at that point, I wouldn't be able to save "Okay, now you guys are are going to become a liberal democracy!" I'd have to take over at that point, and then I wouldn't be me.



Also, Joseph Kony is still alive. He is probably more evil than anyone else alive today, he just happens to be a very localized (almost Joker-like) evil.

I don't know how long I'd have to spend going after small scale warlords and criminals.
