Why doesn't Superman stop ISIS?

>>81441247
Because DC doesn't want their offices shot up.

Isis is dead in DC.

If it exists in-universe it's not nearly that big of a deal compared to the danger superheroes fight against

Why don't YOU stop ISIS anon, huh?. Why do you need a magical hero?. Everyone can be heroes in this world, you just have to believe in youself

>>81441358
I guess the yazidis just weren't heroes, huh?

>>81441247
Same reason he didn't win WW2

But seriously, is there a reason why mainline superheroes don't go help people in war torn countries?
Like if a giant space faggot shows up in the Middle East, the Justice League will go shoo him away.
But if a human is kidnapping children and forcing them into an army, that's all OK?
Surely that's more important than stopping some muggers in Metropolis?

>>81441436
Nobody wants to be reminded about the middle east shit hole we can't fix anyway. Eventually they'll blow themselves up and disappear.

Because the Suicide Squad already did.
No joke, latest suicide squads have them dealing with a very obvious ISIS stand in.

As I see, Superman doesn't deal with political stuff that makes him chose sides. He wants to follow human rules and way of life as much as he can. It's not about what he can do but the way it's done.
He's super but he can't save everyone in the world. I think that makes him more interesting that way.

>>81441247
It's not his job.

The better question is to ask The Spectre why he didn't, or Captain Atom & other government super heroes.

Moment NSS became readable.

>>81441436
For ISIS specifically it's probably because destroying it wouldn't solve the problem. It probably wouldn't be all that hard to beat them. If the US felt like it they'd steamroll the entire region. It's just that none of the countries that can do that want to, since it would require a lot of resources and steamrolling a totalitarian regime is part of what got us into this mess in the first place.

Superman can't really do much about societal problems other than crime. If the problem can't be beaten up or solved by super strength and speed the only real tool he has is his reputation and the public's immense respect and admiration for him.

>>81441436
They help people, but don't get immersed in the conflict.

>>81441436
Have you considered reading the stories that address these things? Maybe it have but it seems like you're assuming they get ignored entirely for some reason.

>>81441436
Superheroes avoid international conflict because that's a whole other can of worms. They can't do their job properly if a foreign goverent declares war on the US due to their actions.

>>81441436
Most conflicts in unstable parts of the globe are really complex. Superman could probably kill any number of dictators but he couldn't install a just legal system, fix the economy or defuse generations of ethnic conflict.
So any comic book story that addresses these things is going to be either massively different from what is usually sold in the superhero market because it would either be full of incredibly complex diplomacy, incredibly simplistic or dark in a way that people are uncomfortable with.

>>81441757
Yeah, you nailed it.

You can't really laser vision away a poisonous mindset, and displays of force by another region policing another is a big part of how we got here in the first place.

On a kinda unrelated note, I hope in the future someone remembers that baby with Supermans heart and strength that got left in the desert in some desert land during Grayson.

Watchmen specifically addresses this seeming inconsistency, and suggests they would make a lot of things worse.

The problem with that logic is that you're assuming something like ISIS would still exist in a superhero world in order for Superman to deal with.

Instead, they would be henchmen of Lex Luthor or something silly like that.

Or take Marvel where you have Doom leading a country and Black Panther leading a country too.

Would terrorism in Syria really be that big of a problem when Assad is a super-powered super-genious motherfucker?

>>81441436
The Justice Leauge is already an independent global power made up of the most powerful and skilled individuals on the planet. No one would be able to stop them if they decided to interfere in some international conflict, they'd have absolute control of the situation, free to resolve it however they see fit. That's the sort of stuff that leads to the Justice Lords or the Injustice universe.

Isis is supported by the CIA and Israel.

Why doesnt superman kills obama?
Fucking Americans are casuals hen it comes to world politics. This kind of questions are offensive.

>>81441709
I wonder why some of those bullets have the sonic boom effect around them but others don't.

>John Lennon is dead

>>81442225
>heh casuals only intelligent freethinkers like I know the truth

>>81442233
Many small arms bullets - especially pistol/submachineguns ones - often have subsonic speed. So the group shooting at Supes is pretty poorly armed, since they seem to mostly have handguns.

>>81442274
>freethinkers

For fucks sake when you spend 2 years giving money and weapons to crazy religious"rebels" in syria to get rid of Assad. and that is not only done by your congress, there's no conspiracy, is not something under the table. America gave money and weapons to the same people that would end up joining Isis less than 24 months later.

As for israel is not secret many of the original heads of isis did got training and info from the Mossad.

>>81441949
... Vietcong wasn't a terrorist organization?

>>81442444
They were commies, that's worse.

>>81442274

Left, Right. Anyone who isnt a fucking idiot know about this. Isis attacks enemies of America, so they are not considered a problem.

does bolivia even have problems like that since white people have started eating quinoa?

seriously look it up, world conscious compassionate vegan liberals are literally causing a famine in bolivia because all the quinuoa is being exported to the US thanks to the price being driven up since it was discovered as this weeks hipster super food

>>81443192
It's one of the poorest countries in latinamerica.

People who are new to comics or don't even read much tend to have this idea that fictional stories have the same geopolitical problems and structures that the real world does. It makes much more sense to assume that nothing is certain unless it is explicitly stated by the author.

ISIS would see the JL as western demons. I mean literal demons fighting for the infidels

Because Superman is the greatest force in the DCU for holding up the status quo.

>>81443015

Nah, the US Mlitary supports Assad, the federal government supports FSA/Al Qaeda and the states of SA and Turkey, which support ISIS.

Its a proxy civil war.

In marvel at least, Latveria (Doom's kingdom) pretty much serves as a buffer/arbitrator in eastern europe, which is why the UN recognizes its sovereignty and has treaties with it.
