he did nothing wrong

Because then he actually becomes interesting

If Superman is the good guy what's the point of anyone else?

injustice had terrible animations, terrible art design, and terrible voice acting. who actually liked this trash

Superman being made into a villain is symbolic of how people woke up to the realization that the white western world is history's true menace

It was fun for 5 minutes

Imagine having such a victim complex you try to find a reason to get offended by Injustice

Fuck off, Lex, you coping bald manlet.

What's wrong? in the first game, the final fight is good superman kicking his ass.

You know I wouldn't mind the overdone "evil Superman" trope if it was done like the Red Son story but this version is so terribly done.

Because a story about a world coping with an antagonistic god is more interesting than a story about a world protected by a 100% good god.

God damn western art is trash

>I am a man.
>I hope.
It's amazing how good such a short little pair of sentences is. Really captures the dual nature of Luthor.

So he can fight batman

Bitch, he's only doing what's best for the world.

Because it's a neat concept. But you need to fucking earn it. You don't just start with evil Superman. You need to see him at his best so that his worst actually has impact. They made the same mistake in the DC movies. We got one movie where Supes was good, then he was killed in the next and brought back to be evil for 5 minutes before becoming good again.

superman was created by a couple of jews

Superman is the best DC villain.
Prove me wrong, you can't.

Luthor was the hero all along.

symbol of hope and unstoppable force became villian, its a pretty scary thing to imagine.

Because when DC wants to go dark, Supes is usually the one who'll get shit on the most.

Superman is a shit mary sue that is the best at everything and can do no wrong. He's boring. You can actually make good use of his character by making him a villain. The good superman from the real universe beats him in the end anyway.

famine I understand. superman could feasibly do that, but is he really such a retarded character he thought he could control everyone in the world?

I hope the next Injustice will have original Superman as an alternate skin or something. Unstoppable optimists like Jay Garrick and Starfire were a breath of fresh air in that grim and cynical universe.

How do miss the point this hard? It also makes more sense with context

It was great until the demon, it all went downhill after that

Because then Superman just might be a decent character for once instead of the invincible boy scout.

Normalfag. Just a normalfag.

Supes being a boy scout is his appeal. Just because you're too """"mature"""" for him doesn't mean he's a bad character.

Superman was supposed to be a villain then one of the creators' father got mugged and shot then died, so they changed him to be invulnerable and good.

I like MK vs DCU.

It’s times like these where I think Superman really shines as a character. He’s the most powerful mortal in the universe but still has respect for the little guy.

Superman, and superheroes in general, work best when they’re being “heroes” rather than being just “super.”

He's not the bad guy though

It's batman who's the worst offender with this and the Joker. Injustice was set off because Batman let Joker do whatever he wanted and he ended up wiping out Metropolis and tricking Superman into killing Lolis.

One of the better what ifs was the dream Superman was forced to endure where he was stopped right before he killed Lolis, but then Batman kills the joker afterwards, and then he willingly does his time in prison afterwards. even though it's clear everyone thinks he did nothing wrong and superman has absolutely no problem busting him out of prison.

superman doesn't actually have a no kill policy; he just doesn't kill those he can easily subdue. Shit like doomsday would be ridiculous if he couldn't (try) to kill it

And then Luthor made a time machine so he could go back in time, travel to Krypton, fuck Superman's mother so he was the father, and then come back to the normal time so he could tell Kal he fucked his mom and "who's your daddy" and couldn't do a thing about it.

They just pulled the same shit they've done with Raiden, and Liu Kang, multiple times before. Make the infallible good guy into the evil guy all of a sudden. Netherrealm are shit at writing stories. They're fucking fighting games.

Because Superman is not a good character and he exists to basically be an invincible hero who is amazing at everything whose only flaw is a glowing green rock from another solar system.

If it weren't for that plot convenience, he'd be the poster boy for Gary Stu characters and that just isn't fascinating, entertaining or engaging in any manner to a reader, viewer or player.

Lex Luthor has always been right from the start.

Its beause when people bring up comicbook feats, they tend to bring up the biggest ones, which for supes is pre-crisis bullcrap like casually going back in time by flying a bit faster or outrunning one of the dimensional imps.
Post-crisis he's not that big of a deal, even in the Justice League, Martian Manhunter does everything he does better and more

I liked the voice acting in IN2 a lot.

JLA and Unlimited made him a grade A jobber. Everybody knows that, and this is probably one of the few moments in the show where he' gets to be cool before jobbing again.

Literally because he thought a no-kill rule was a childish fantasy. He called everyone who complained about it childish at a con recently. It's hilarious because even the fucking Nolan trilogy gave Batman a no-kill rule and enforced if believably, and they were both more mature films and better received than Snyder's. The poor bastard has something wrong in his head.

Because Evil Ryu

in Batman vs Superman he's using live ammo in the batmobile and shoots several people iirc

Attached: Captain Marvel vs Superman.webm (1280x720, 2.8M)

problem with evil batman is that he can't realistically deal with multiple heroes at the same time. Even his contingencies are just for "x" member going rouge and not the whole league at the same time. If Martian, Supes, and the flash all decide to take out bats then there's little he can do without heavy plot protection

I said enforced realistically. Batman has the rule, and opts not to save al Ghul from the train because it would mean certain death for all of Gotham.

Meanwhile Snyder's Batman literally guns down drug dealers.

>hes powerful but his villains are as well
I think that's what people miss is that the rogue gallery is only as tough as required unless there's another reason.
You have Batman deal with Sup's rogue gallery and sooner or later, all the prep time in the world won't stop him from getting killed. Meanwhile Superman would mop the floor with Batman's Rogues.

The one gallary I can think of where it's totally lopsided, would be Flash's. But then most of his Rogue have an unwritten deal and rules with Flash where they commit crimes, but only kill if it's part of the job and don't go out of their way to target women and children. And they do this because they know Flash has the ability erase them from existence or just royally fuck hem up. Hell they fully knew the game itself wasn't winnable and expected never to actually kill flash either.

Both Superman and Goku are awfully written. Superman is just a moral/power fantasy on steroids, not saying there is anything wrong with enjoying that, but it does detract from how interesting he can be.

There is an issue where Joker comes to Metropolis and he Supes beats him without throwing a punch by convincing him if he doesn't give up Superman will kill him.
Then he goes to the Batcave and threatens Batman to keep Joker out of Metropolis or else.

Attached: Superman vs Black Adam.webm (1280x720, 2.42M)

Because he's only interesting as a bad guy

Fuck of Zach Snyder, pick up a comic book for fuck's sake.

That was an awful comic, and among other problems wrote Batman way the fuck out of character, literally siccing Joker on Metropolis to cause untold destruction just to see if Superman could beat him. Retarded.

Cope with what? You... you do realize that disliking terrorists and murderer cult leaders is a pretty bipartisan stance, right? I'm PRETTY sure both sides of the political spectrum dislike the 3 people mentioned in that line of dialogue.

Isn't this Multiverse Online?

supes is based because he could rule the planet while barely even trying and yet he chooses to live as a human. the only jl member who could feasibly beat him is the flash, and he'd somehow fuck it up because it would be a crossover comic

How come Flash is always so underpowered? With his powers he should be one of the strongest heroes ever

I like it because it basically has Superman calling out Batman and Joker's homolust for each other, even if the rest of it was kinda trash.

Why is Batman vs Superman such a common battle they like to pull out if never ever Superman is trying to hurt Batman during it or is being controlled by some 3rd grade villain who doesn't force him to go full earth destroying strength?

Bruce did nothing wrong. It was legitimately Wonder Woman that turned Clark evil because she got wet seeing him be a monster.

>Flash vs Braniac/Luthor
What's lost here if you didn't watch the series is that scene of Superman grabbing Luthor by the neck and then standing down was the culmination of 3 seasons of build up. Since in an older episode, there was another universe where Luthor became president, killed flash and then Superman murders Luthor and becomes dictators with the rest of the Justice League. So there was always the question of would our Superman do the same thing.
JLA is so underrated. Even the post script season, if anything for the mind swap of Luthor and Flash where Luthor's voice actor just goes to town.

They're the two most popular DC heroes and have crossed over thousands of times.

To be fair, everything in dragon ball is extremely inconsequential within the context of the story.

But Superman is literally more intelligent than Bruce

Alright, but what's the point if Superman is always holding back?
It isn't really a fight if one side isn't even trying.
The Dark Knight returns one is the biggest offender with that "I'M THE ONE WHO DEFEATED SUPERMAN" or whatever line while Clark was like "Bruce, please stop this crap" the whole fight.

obsessed

Technically that was Ghul swiping batman's plans.

This, but batman pretending nothing was wrong and sulking that he lost the Joker really didn't help.

he almost just walked away and let frieza live just because he gave goku a good ass fight, the asshole that just murdered his best friend for most of his life, tried to murder his only fucking son, and also murdered his only connection to his alien homeworld. the only reason goku even "killed" him was because frieza tried to cheap shot him

Because The Dark Knight Returns was incredibly popular. But people forget that It was actually Batman and Green Arrow vs Superman, and it was still Superman almost winning until Bruce faked a heart attack.

>Alright, but what's the point if Superman is always holding back?
It's what they want in the end that matters. Superman wants total control and Batman doesn't.

batman has the power of bullshit on his side

batman was an old bitter man who had to grasp to any victory he could. everyone knows Clark is more human than bats and would win everytime if he was serious. the difference is, he will never try that hard because hes not a dick who has to win that fight

I think you have that backwards user. The only time that is true is Injustice, in every other reality Batman is MUCH more of a control freak than Superman.

You're a bunch of fucking sheep, nobody as "perfect" as Superman should be allowed to exist unchallenged. He's a nigh unkillable titan and something as simple and common as the death of the woman he loves can push your supposed moral paragon off the fucking deep end.
He's a menace, no human who values the continued existence of mankind should be a friend of Superman.

>the symbol of mankind's ability to transcend their own limitations and be the best they can be
he's the opposite. He was born a god and is a god just because he is. Ironic that you post Lex Luthor who is exactly what you described, a mere human who still manages to challenge a literal fucking Superman. If anyone's inspiring it's him

We were talking about other times bad things have happened to Superman and how it hasn't resulted in him becoming a Tyrannical Dictator on those occasions.

Superman is too perfect, everybody loves him too much despite being an unstable demigod that could end human existence in an instant. He doesn't deserve to be, he's a mistake that needs to be undone.

Diana is as tough, fast and strong as Supes, doesn’t have two crippling weaknesses unlike Supes, and is equipped with magical weapons that can bypass Supes’ biologically based invulnerability, and has literal centuries of combat experience. WW would wipe the floor with Supes in most scenarios.

Let's face it, Superman is a conservative's worst nightmare because at their core, they believe some are born to lead and just subject people. Superman is a man who has the power to be one of those people, but he chooses to act is society's best interest. That sort of selflessness flies in the face of every believe they have.

Well gee, I don't know, maybe the fact that he's the largest latent one-man threat to mankind you can envision? Earth doesn't need Superman, he's only a time bomb waiting to go off.

His apparent perfection is an affront to human nature. Superman, with his lack of perceptible flaws, devalues your life by merely EXISTING. You can either accept the idea of a man-god literally more perfect than a human can possibly be as the defacto deific dictator of humanity, as your unelected god emperor whose sheer power and near omnipresence are a level beyond any manmade authoritarian regime, or you refuse to acknowledge that he could be so absolutely perfect, and upon doing so he is immediately recognizable for the demon he truly is.
I will not choose to be a slave and I will not choose to complacently live in fear of the one day to come when Superman finally stops pretending to be perfect.

what a top tier dad

Because a strong villain is needed for everyone to rise up against. If Superman remains the hero while Batman goes rogue, then he can either solve the problem in the span of an issue, or be killed off to solve the problem.

>and changed her name to suit their GURL POWER agenda
They changed her name because if they ever stop releasing Captain Marvel comics then DC can pick the license up from them.
By making their more popular character into Captain Marvel, they can make a movie named Captain Marvel and then continue to make semi-profitable Captain Marvel comics for all eternity.
You guys always act like it's some big conspiracy to destroy men, but it's simple business. All of these decisions are pure capitalism.

You're only proving your own monstrous nature with this reaction of fear and mistrust. Not Superman's. Not mankind's. Just yours. You're terrified of kindness and altruism because you've never once felt that way towards another person, and so you assume everyone else must be just like you. But they arent, and you're all alone.

If I were Robin, I'd turn the cameras off and masturbate onto the glass. Play a little "I show you my seed, you show me yours."

Altruism is an inherently selfish motivation. Rather than being truly selfless, altruism is just a roundabout way of making you feel good about yourself because oh boy you're such a good person for what you're doing. Even if you don't consciously fellate yourself for it, the dopamine reward circuit that your social and moral awareness is tied into in the first place is doing the fellating for you. Human empathy in general is just a mechanism for mental gymnastics to let you apply your self preservation instinct to those you recognize as "other" and through your social reward circuit end up feeling better about yourself for doing it.
Mankind, even through kindness and altruism, is flawed. Severely flawed. Are you sitting there on your ivory tower of ignorance and telling me that it isn't right to be scared of somebody who is most definitely not perfect, but who pretends to be? Somebody whose facade of perfection is the only thing standing between you and the eternal void? Not being able to save everybody all the time isn't a perceptible flaw, it's just more proof of how unstable and childish Superman truly is. He's a demon in disguise and your blind trust of him is fundamentally naive.

You just clearly can't understand Superman. He isn't human and isn't comparable by cold facts and logic. Not only should this god crush us, he's intelligent enough to exploit us so why isn't he?

See You clearly have some kind of complex you're projecting onto Superman. I dunno if you're just LARPing as Lex Luthor or what but Superman doesn't act anything like you describe him.

>muh boring Mary Sue
Something casuals tend to ignore is the historical context behind his creation. Superheroes had their genesis during the great depression, one of America's darkest times. If you read any supehero comics from this time you notice that a lot of them are stories about some super powerful dude (usually a rich scientist who knows martial arts) beating up criminals and saving the day. Superman was born from a simple mindset, which is a good guy who will never let you down, his very first adventure has him doing some outrageous shit that was even criticized in another comic where he meets modern superman.

It's important to note that as time passed, Superman stories changed a lot in structure. Some are still feelgood stories about a guy who was born with a gift and wishes to use it for good (which contrasts with Luthor who represents humanity's potential to do good going on a waste), others get more complex like Superman going through some internal crisis that cannot be solved with brute force, there are also stories like Red Sun and All Star which show that as powerful as he is, there are feats that are simply out of his reach.

Ultimately, saying Superman is boring is a huge misunderstanding of his character. The issue isn't he being too good to make a conflict worth it, but the writer needing to go one extra step to make the story deeper than a golden age single issue story. Shit like man of steel or Injustice are just really lazy alternatives that unfortunately hurt the character's public image and further fuel retarded casual preconceptions.

>pretends to be perfect

see here's your problem. He doesn't pretend to be perfect. He even acknowledges that he's not perfect. He just does what he can because he knows he was gifted with phenomenal ability and those values were instilled into him by his parents.

Goku only killed 3 characters in all of DBZ.

2016 was one of the most profitable years for comic book companies in decades. Comic sales in general are way, way up from where they were a decade ago.
But here's the thing, Marvel doesn't need stuff like the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl to sell gangbusters. Instead of bringing in their A-List, million dollar talent, they just dip into the hundreds of thousands of people trying to break into comics and pay them the minimum amount. They can also skimp on the art and only do basic lines and colors rather than doing inking and such.
So if they only sell 10,000 copies at $4 a pop, they have more than profited off of it.

Late reply but you're wrong. Goku actually felt pity for him, he gave him some energy after the fight just so he could escape with the ultimatum of never daring to hurt his friends again. When Frieza tried to cheap shot him is when he realized the man would never be redeemed and went for the kill.

Frieza is the only person Goku 100% hates, apart from possibly Zamasu. Even when he tried to recruit him for the ToP, Goku pretty much acts completely out of character by teasing him by pretending to leave when he refuses first, only because he knows Frieza is an absolute evil piece of shit.

I am 100% ignorant when it comes to DC, but I hate how we're supposed to think characters like Lex, who have been villains since their inception are these complex individuals who somwhow bring up real arguments against superheroes.

You or somebody in this reply chain said it themselves, Superman isn't terrifying, he's inspiring, because he's a perfect uncorruptible moral paragon that can ultimately do no wrong. That he's a kind, selfless, impeccable altruist. Despite the fact that he is a man who has no perceptible flaws, he's totally trustworthy!
Because the only way Superman isn't terrifying is if you have 200% faith in him. The only way he isn't the greatest threat to humanity is if he IS the perfect being, the moral paragon, the man with 0 flaws that you claim he is.
And I'm telling you that that CANNOT be true. There's no such thing as a perfect man-god, it's not even a concepual possibility unless you wholly discard human nature and humanity entirely. I'm sorry to say but I'm a human and so the fuck are you.
Superman cannot be perfect. He's just a man, a man with all of the power and no real responsibility.

I'm not missing the point of the character, you are missing the reality of the man of tomorrow. The reality of what a man truly is.

he has better and more loyal friends, not the superficial facebook friendships of supernerd

>how the fuck did he become president

really? You live in this reality yet wonder how a rich, handsome, charismatic guy could be become president? Luthor rarely ever gets caught completely redhanded so to the general public he's just some rich guy who occasionally has some disputes. Sound familiar?

As for the anti super hero arguments, they usually bring up some good and valid points but you have to always keep in mind that despite these points being valid, the goal behind them from the antagonist's side is usually self serving instead of being for the general good

Superman did literally nothing wrong, and if you sided with Batman you like having niggers fuck your wife.

Why is she so perfect

Do people actually like superman, or is it some kind of obligation with him being the quintessential super hero? Like, every fucking super hero is significantly more interesting than mr.perfect.

Speedsters are bullshit and you kno

I bet you want Superman to fuck your wife and obliterate her into an explosion of disintegrated human ash and thick alien load with his solar powered Chad cock

hes my favorite. hes a godlike being who chooses to be more human than most human supers. he doubts himself and works to be better than he was yesterday. hes an alien but embodies what it is to be human and what it means to fail even with all the gifts hes been granted

maybe he needs to make up a good rule:
bring yourself in trouble - your own fault

Pretending to be perfect is choosing to be less human, not more. Humanity is characterised by flaws and imperfections.
Superman being sad that he can't save literally everyone all at once isn't a character flaw it's the infantile whining of an otherwise literal god.

>perfect uncorruptible moral paragon that can ultimately do no wrong
Not them but this is blatantly wrong. Superman is just a farmboy playing pretend, his "perfect human bean" thing is just an image he maintains to inspire people in canon. He had plenty of moments where he questioned himself and showed some weakness, and this side of his is something only his closests friends like Bruce are aware of.

Or he could ally with the Joker.
Together they'd rise and crush women and brown people.

That's an Interesting conundrum. How do you rape the Joker?

But that's what I mean!

He still hates him in Super, he's forced to go no bullshit on him just so he could cooperate during the last fight against Jiren and he still warns him that he'll defeat him if he ever tries his evil schemes again after he gets revived by Whis. Goku rarely gets actually furious but when he does is because his friends or family are threatened, with the main moments I can remember is when he turns Super Saiyan for the first time, when Black tells him he killed his family after his body switch wish and when Jiren out of a fit of rage tries to kill his friends during the ToP.

this is why you're a failure.

i just find his interaction with him in the broly movie too friendly, like when he asked him for a word definition

>Superman is just a farmboy playing pretend
>his perfect human being thing is just an image he maintains
And that is EXACTLY my point. Superman isn't perfect, he just pretends to be.
The only thing keeping him in good favor is his apparent moral impenetrability and lack of perceptible flaws, and once you realize his perfection is a facade he's nothing short of a terrifying disaster waiting to happen.

DB Super is shit

You could punch Batman's face in as Lobo.
That's... Basically it.

Nice argument, retard.

what makes him more terrifying than the other heroes just as powerful or the actual villains?

Being human is about chasing ideals to the point of going against nature itself, even if said ideals can never be reached. Perfection is one of them, and subjective because not everything will be able to be measured on a universal scale to be defined as better or worse.

If superman was perfect then he would be just an idea in his own world. By simply being conscious and emotional he is already tainted and imperfect. His public image as "peak of humanity" can be perceived as perfect by jealous egomaniacs like Luthor, but the "man" on Superman, the Clark Kent (which is not a mask but the real person) is both flawed and human.

The fact that he pretends to be perfect and people believe in him for it.

Denying what makes you human doesn't make you more human. Pretending to be perfect betrays all those who believe in that false perfection.

>Superman isn't perfect, he just pretends to be.
There is evidence on this very thread that shows otherwise. He is not pretending to be perfect, he is just doing his best and the perfection is a big misunderstanding from a public (in universe) that doesn't know about Clark Kent. It's sorta like if Superman was a mask wore by Clark Kent, Clark doesn't really care about being perfect, he just wants to do his best and keeping this image happens to help inspire others to do the same.

Seriously go shit up a e-celeb,/pol/shit, or a Twitter thread retard

Everybody thinks he's perfect and he goes out of his way to make sure he has no perceptible flaws, there is no misunderstanding.
If it started that way he obviously intends to perpetuate that mentality for his own gain, which is a whole new degree of questionable.

That has always confused me. Why is it that when a white man fucks a black woman, their mixed race child is only black and not white. Isn't the child equal parts black and white? Can't you say the black race is getting eradicated there instead?

Snake, do you know about dominant and recessive genes?

Friendly reminder that Eastern Manga and anime will always be more authentic and visually pleasing than anything America will ever shit out because Easter media is based around playing and using human emotions with imagination while Western Media is based around using those against the viewer to try and take the moral high-ground.

Luthor is such an envious shit. "Abloo bloo, I could make Earth into a technological utopia with no disease, no food shortage and send mankind to the stars, but I won't because the sight of your indestructible hair curl makes me so mad I could spit"

Fundamental misunderstanding of the character. He's not pretending or trying. His very nature is to be that good and wholesome. It's why some people step in and help and you would pull your phone out and film. We aren't all trash and he is the purest form of hero. Don't project your shitty values on him. "What would people think of me?" is not his motivation ever.

>There are no Eastern Media that tries taking a moral high ground
>There are no Western Media that plays with emotions

It's not his gain but the gain of humanity itself. If people are inspired by him and make the effort to be better people theme everybody is. That's the point of Luthor as a character, to show that humanity has a lot of potential to do wonderful things but without a symbol to inspire them all that power goes on a waste.

He literally says its neither fair nor unfair, conservacuck.
