Why are the Justice Lords so much better than Superman's Regime?
>>
Because they're not kidding themselves. The Justice Lords know they are tyrants, and they accept that fact as necessary for peace. Also they don't corrupt themselves by accepting criminals and villains into their ranks, instead opting to lobotomize them into public servants.
>>
>>93451312
fpbp - Justice Lord Supes dropped any pretense of being 'the good guy' when he melted Lex Luthor's head off.

Honestly though, the Justice Lords' world wouldn't be that bad if not for the "sent to the death camps for littering, running lights, or disturbing the peace" shit.
>>
Lex actually did deserve to die.

The Joker didn't.
>>
>>93451228
>only took six Leaguers to take over a world. Didn't even have Flash.
>In JLU they massively expanded their membership and were surprised when the government was afraid of them
>>
Because they weren't written to solely job to Batman and Harley Quinn
>>
>>93451435
>The Joker didn't.
>Nuked a fucking city
>Already trying to figure out how he'll top himself next time.
>LET'S JUST STICK HIM IN ARKHAM!
>>
>>93451312
>>93451494
These ones are correct
>>
>>93451524
I think what he means is that Supes killed Luthor but just had the Joker lobotomised.
>>
>>93451524
How come batman has never asked Superman to throw Joker in the Phantom Zone? Or ask any of the half dozen GLs he knows to lock him into some space prison?
>>
>>93451587
The Justice Lord-verse Luthor killed the Flash and wanted to start a WWIII by launching nukes. This was Supe's rage-breaking point.

Also Lord Superman > Regime Superman.
>>
>>93451635
Nah, watch the scene again. Supes's rage point was when Luthor taunted him that no matter what Luthor did, Supes would never get rid of him, because he was too good to finish the job. Because he loved being a hero. Supes realized that the damage Luthor does causes can be prevented if he stops being a hero.
>>
>>93451228
Because the Justice Lords were born when Flash, a friend and comrade died. They were all United in their grief and they undertook that transition together. There's still a sense of team and a oneness to the group.

Where as the Regime came about when Superman's lover died. Sure, everyone else grieved with him, or for him, but the team was still born of Clark's grief alone. For that reason, nobody else felt as far gone as Clark. Everyone else seemed to be going along with it for his sake for the most part. It was Superman's regime after all.

The Justice Lords may have been tyrants, but they were tyrannical together.
>>
>>93451635
Regime Superman was written badly on purpose. Pretty sure Ed Boon said he prefers Batman than Superman and he does the same thing in Mk.
>>
>>93451599
Because knowing the Joker, he'd find a way to unleash all the prisoners of the Phantom Zone and the Sciencells.
>>
>>93451599
That's a good question actually... I mean, the Phantom Zone isn't fool-proof or anything, but it's kind of the best option for dealing with the worst repeat offenders.
>>
>>93451599
Because those ideas make too much sense.
>>
>>93451599
I think they did that in the 80s. It stands to reason that DC writers have a more complete library of comic books then we do. But while we're wondering why X doesn't do a common-sense thing, DC will be avoiding it because they don't want to seem to be plagiarizing some older, better, story by a better-known writer.
>>
>>93451228
costumes are superior
>>
It never sat well with me that J'onn just turned authoritarian with them. This didn't fit him at all.
>>
>>93451228
Why is Justice Lords Wonder Woman so perfect?
>>
>>93451761
This. Boon is a Batfag which explains why he shits all over Superman. It doesn't explain why he shits all over Wonder Woman though.
>>
>>93451769
As much as I hate the joker/bat wank that this would involve, I'm sure this would make for a killer JL arc. At that point they'd just have to stick Joker on the Source Wall and let him get stuck there. Damn shame we'll never see this actually happen.
>>
>>93451856
>This didn't fit him at all.
When are you geniuses going to realize that EVERY time they do this shit, EVERY character is OOC? Supes turns from a farm boy from Kansas into "fuck humans I am superior Krypton forever". Diana becomes a psychopath who can't wait to kill everything. GL becomes an idiot. Flash is either dead or Supes/Bats bitch. Aquaman acts like he was never a surfacer himself, and is eager to make war with the surface.

It's all hack writing.
>>
>>93451228
It's the costumes, it's always the costumes.
>>
>>93451228
Because their Superman isn't a giant man baby
Because their Wonder woman isn't just a more insane Maxima
Because their Green Lantern isn't a idiot.

Also JLords still had Superbats.
>>
>>93451749
Cyborg is as far gone as Superman... Largely because several Titans died in Metropolis
>>
>>93451228
Because Bruce "King of the Batfags" Timm was willing to have the whole team go bad for a good reason instead of wanking off Batman like Boon and Taylor did. They still shitted on Wonder Woman though.
>>
>>93451997
Even so, one is an evil justice league, the other is evil superman and pals. That's the defining difference.

Cyborg is still a supporting character to Superman and his regime.

Where as with the Justice Lords it didn't come down to who's camp X was in, they were all on one another's side until Batman Batmanned Batman into Batmanning.

Cyborg might have had a similar sense of grief to spur his change to the darker side, but the darker side was still very much Superman's side first and foremost.
>>
>>93451999
There was some slight Batwank in having JLord Batman being the only one who redeems himself and helps stop the JLords.

Also, assuming Crisis on Two Earths would've been mostly intact if it had been part of JLU, the ending would've revolved around Batman yet again.
>>
>>93451599
Did you learn nothing from the Lego Batman movie?
>>
>>93452184
Haven't seen it yet.
>>
>>93451228
Justice Lord Superman didn't throw a hissyfit when people started complaining. Regime Superman wanted to destroy Metropolis and Gotham when he eavesdropped on a few conflicted whispers.
>>
>>93451997
So? They're Titans. One dies like every 2 hours.
You'd think he'd be used to it.
>>
>>93451999
Because it shows how much better Wally is at being the Flash even in death as opposed to static brick Barry who just follows Supes like a cuck.
>>
>>93451371
sound stalinist as hell
>>
>>93451931
>Stick Joker to the Source Wall
>Somehow this turns him into a psychic virus that spans the universe and now every planet has at least one Joker.
>>
>>93452108
I mean it makes sense given that he's the only one of the group born of empathy.
Sure the others have it, and they've all experienced loss, but their heroism's always been sort of generalized while Bruce always takes it personal.

Despite the whole "striking terror" schtick, Batman's always been the bleeding heart of the group.
>>
>>93452323
This sounds much cooler than 3 Jokers
>>
>>93452344
Would JLU Batman have made Harley his new sidekick too?
>>
>>93452216
You should fix that. It's decent. It's also very much the premise.
>>
>>93452374
Yeah, I'm meaning to, probably going to rent it out of the local redbox tonight or later in the week
>>
>>93451599
How come Batman has never asked Superman to I dunno, laser the Joker's spine to leave him in a complete vegetative state? I mean, Batman has no problem crippling the FUCK out of thugs and apparently he's too gay for the Joker to even punch him

>Yo Supes, can you cripple the joker? he escaped Arkham AGAIN
>Aight Bats, but the next round of wings is on you ok?
>Nice, thanks!
>>
>>93451599
>>93451769
>>93451931

Batman had Mr Miracle build a jail cell for the Joker at one point.

The Joker escaped.
>>
>>93452426
Is Joker-wankery even worse than Bat-wankery?
>>
>>93452426
Was it on Earth?
>>
>>93452446
Yes, because other, better rogues get ignored.
>>
>>93452373

I wouldn't be surprised.
Even in BTAS and that one JLU episode she popped up in he's always shown her some level of patience and sympathy unless Joker's involved.

And even then it was making fun of the fact that Joker was probably dead or the idea of him being capable of love.
>>
>>93452446
Oh, so much worse.

And people who clearly haven't read the comics always go "why doesn't Batman just kill Joker"?
But he's tried, anon. So many times he's tried. Hell, the only other character he's been pissed enough to straight up try to murder was Hush.
Even with KGBeast it was basically just not bothering to save him.
>>
>>93452344
J'onn is a telepath.
Diana's whole schtick is empathy and love.

Fuck this Batwank
>>
>>93452830
>Diana's whole schtick is empathy and love.
... and snapping people's necks.
>>
>>93452872
With love
>>
>>93451997
Did the comics ever revisit superboy and Tim being stuck in the phantom zone by supes ? Or are they just stuck in story limbo?
>>
>>93451371
Well they needed to "take it too far" so that it didn't make way too much sense to just do it that way.
>>
>>93451599
Because, literally, they don't really want to get rid of the Joker, because then they couldn't use him as a villain.
>>
>>93451939
>GL becomes an idiot.
Lol how is this OOC for 80% of the Earth GLs?
>>
>>93451371
Well to be fair, they never did say Death Camp. Just a minor(?) prison sentence.

I personally think the world presented by the Justice Lords is far from the worst possible thing, but you know we Americans always have to do the "FACIST BULLSHIT! FREEDOM FOREVER" thing.
>>
>>93451939
>>93452992
The only issue with Green Lantern becoming a lord is that that same exact thing is why Sinestro is a supervillain. Like, did Oa never investigate? Kyle Rayner?
>>
>>93452889
Starfire is a DLC in Injustice 2 so it should come up eventually
>>
>>93452446
Yes, because it's commonly edge-cancer in addition to being wank
>>
>>93452344
That's fucking Batwank. Bruce is the autistic paranoid faggot of the group. Hes the rich boy who lives in his mansion with his butler, completely disconnected from his fellow human beings. He's the one watching everyone ready to take them down if they don't live according to his retarded no kill rule. Green Arrow, Flash, or Superman are the heart of the group.
>>
>>93453085
Oa didn't give a shit about what Sinestro was doing until Hal made a big scene.
>>
>>93452372
They ever reveal what that's about?
>>
>>93451931
It kind of happened in the Lego Batman Movie
>>
How does one escape the Phantom Zone anyway? Especially someone without any kind of powers like Joker.
>>
>>93452949
>Because, literally, they don't really want to get rid of the Joker, because that would get rid of the most easy to write villain in DC comics.
"Aw, just have him wave a gun around. Maybe kidnap someone."
No matter how lowball his crimes, they just throw in some pretentious dialog and some clown props and everyone is Pavlovian-trained go "Oh, it's a Joker story. Perhaps this'll be a good one." No planning crimes, no designing umbrellas for Penguin, or reading psychology textbooks to write Zaxxazx, no science for Mr Freeze, no creativity to make up new villains like when they made Proff. Pyg or the Flamingo.
The Joker has had a lot of good stories, but he's become the go-to use for the lame, limp-lettuce, non-entertaining stories. Which doesn't bode well for "The war of jokes vs riddles."

Let's not forget the Salvation Run series.
Take all the villains, teleport them to a wilderness planet. Unfortunately, they come under attack, and doing what villains do, manage to fight their way into getting the parts to build a teleporter. But at least leaving them on Gilligan's Island was _tried_.
>>
>>93453553
Manipulate someone on the outside via long-range telepathy or notes or something, use magic mumbo-jumbo or have a decent amount of plot-armor.
>>
>>93453749
That was actually a smart move by Supes. He took out one of the few heroes that could actually kill him.

The oddest thing about the Joker being alive isn't that Bats doesn't kill him, it's that a cop hasn't while he's in custody. He's gone after cop families before, and Gotham PD aren't exactly the most straight-laced guys. It wouldn't be even that hard to cover up, no one is going to question it too hard.
>>
>>93453885
The Shazam in the Injustice Universe was very obviously not a match for Superman, as evidenced by the fact he was killed by his heat vision alone.
>>
>>93453916
God, I fucking miss Morrison's Justice League. Kelly's too. They always felt epic.
>>
>>93454276
Maybe they're all too afraid to try, or Gordon only leaves Joker in the custody of the cleanest cops he knows to avoid any "accidents."
>>
>>93454276
a few cops have tried
but joker some how Always survives
>>
>>93452426
And here is the fundamental problem with why the Joker will not be killed.

He's to popular. Writers will bring him back no matter how stupid or impossible it is.
>>
>>93453365
Green Arrow wasn't a Justice Lord, and Flash was dead.
Superman's got that Smallville charm going for him, but he's usually more of a greater good kind of guy, inspiring hope but taking up the hard leadership position. Which is why him and Bats play off wach other pretty great. I'm not saying he's better, just that he's more susceptible to coercion in that sense.

But I guess who needs to talk about character's personalities when you can just scream 'batwank' and spew the same generalized bullshit people that don't actually read the comics always yell.
>>
>>93452830
J'onn is a telepath from another planet where he was a cop. Diana's a warrior princess.
They know not to take shit personal.

Batman was literally coerced by being asked how his parents would feel. I never said it was necessarily a good thing.
>>
>>93453885
Billy saved his life many times. He was an irreplaceable person. Killing him made injustice superman irredeemable
>>
>>93454546
This all makes me wonder how fucked the Justice Lords' world's other superheroes must have been when the League took over. Banded together, every other hero we see in JLU might pose SOME threat to the original seven. But how much of a threat, really, if you've got Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, and Green Lantern, all ready and willing to kill? That's like charging a battleship with a rifle.
>>
>>93452373
Pre-RotJ, probably.

Post-RotJ, she's lucky she faked her death, or else she would've been beaten into a comma.
>>
>>93454783
Pretty much. The only earth guys I could think of that could pose a threat would be Captain Atom, and Shazam. The second was killed, and given Atom's soldier-like disposition in the show he wouldn't disagree.
>>
>>93451599
Phantom Zone is only for Kryptonian prisoners. He doesn't toss anyone else in there.

The GLs won't deal with the Joker. He's not their problem. GLs only take prisoners those that commit heinous crimes across the sector. Alien warlords, space pirates, world destroyers...etc. They let the local police handle local crimes. They're more like the Universal FBI. They only get involved when stuff spills out across their sector.

Mongul on rampage? GL problem.
Joker? Not GL problem.
Joker with a spaceship? GL problem.
>>
>>93453085
Sinestro was given a free pass. The Guardians knew what he was doing, they didn't care. They only got involved when Hal found out, started kicking Sinestro's ass. Then leaked what he was doing to rest the GLC. Only when rest the GLC found out, they kicked him out. Only to save face.
>>
>>93454276
There've actually been several stories where cops or other vigilantes have tried... Batman consistently swoops in to stop them or else Joker somehow weasels his way out of it.

Fuck there was a Batman/Punisher crossover where Batman actually fights Punisher to keep him from putting a bullet in Joker's skull.

>>93454783
Assuming that every hero in JLU isn't working for the Lords.
Then Doctor Fate, Supergirl, Doctor Light, Captain Marvel, Captain Atom and Aquaman could probably take down the 6 Justice Lords
>>
>>93454911
So, on planet stuff the GLC could care less about, but if it happens in space then they care? How are these fuckers still around?
>>
>>93451791
>Because those ideas make too much sense.
It'll be ignored like always but this is the only real answer. The fact is there is NO believable in-universe reason why the Joker is still breathing. He would have been executed or shot "while trying to escape" a long time ago in real life but he's a popular character and popular characters sell comics.

It's one of the drawbacks to adding "realism" to capeshit.
>>
>>93451228
Because
> Justice Lords say they're going to kill super villains
> Majority are captured, killed if too dangerous to allow to live or lobotomized and actually turned into contributing members of society

> Superman Regime says they are going to kill super villains
> Kill 1 super villain
> Put the rest in a jail they escape from and allow them lay low
> By the time I2 comes around most of them are still alive and perfectly fine
> Meanwhile Superman kills off bunches of heroes and the GLC for no reason other than "They got in my way"
> Superman can't even kill Harley despite meeting her multiple times
> Bizarro Superman killed off more villains than Regime Superman!

Having a clear goal and the capability to follow it through is the mark of a better government.

It's a drawback because from DC's pov they would presumably sell fewer comics if they killed off one of their "star" badguys, so they don't do it even though his continued existence is, frankly ridiculous.

my only issue is that they went too easy on batman, he has to be the incorruptible one. well that and the de-superpower ray that ends the story.

You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways.

Do you not know how to read? The question was why Batman was the one that turned in that specific scenario.

If they didn't kill Batman's rogues gallery, they didn't have death camps. Most likely, they used "re-edumacation camps." The fact that they were unified instead of going straight to civil war made a massive difference.

That's on purpose. The entire issue she's looking to Bats from protection and playing victim to a monster she created. After he shows her the tape, she unapologetically just tells him not to kinkshame her.

Basically she takes advantage of his whole "second chance" policy, but not without ending up with some trauma.

It's worse in the full comic, she goes on a long speech about how some of the victims died - some surrendered and accepted their fate, some fought kicking and screaming till their dying breath, and one thought it was supposed to be some kind of kinky roleplaying thing until the acid started eating away his skin and nerves. It's pretty fucked up.

And of course her only comeuppance is a short-lived paranoia around plants, because Batman's a fucking pussy who won't put monsters down.

There was also the story of Joker kidnapping Tim on christmas in a couple he'd murdered's car and forcing him to watch as he ran people over.

Or Firefly spiking people with chips that he could activate later to cause them to erupt into flames.

Of course everyone knows by now about Hush cutting out Catwoman's heart and surgically making himself look like Bruce Wayne, but let's not forget Jane Doe literally skinning him alive later after finding out 'Bruce Wayne' wasn't as nice as she'd hoped he was.

Oh, and there's Zsasz starting a child fight club only to have the winner have to fight him, and Humpty Dumpty dressed as Santa trying to stitch their corpses back together.

Jokerforce is legitimately even worse than Batwankery. He's wiped out the entire police force by himself, had the entire batfamily tied up in death of the family, mind raped the Justice League into targeting Batman, survived things that NO human could survive, etc.

It's seriously at the point where I now just wonder why DC even bothers with keeping the Joker human. He's displayed so many supernatural qualities and extreme skills and abilities that I truly believe that it'd be better to just retcon him into being Nyarlathotep.

Diana looks good with short hair.

Honestly, I don't know if I could take tyrant Wondy seriously. Like, if that happened with her actually being written in character, the world she creates would probably be one of those overly saccharine false utopia deals, with everyone going full on stepford and being forced to be nice, because Queen Diana gets upset when people misbehave. And of course, there's rehabilitation centers, where people are taught the values of compassion and loving submission. She'd probably find a way to project the Lasso's effect over the entire globe too. I dunno, imagining her going rogue is just kinda funny, like she'd end up being the world's strict, but overly affectionate mom.

The story was.. awkward. As were character interactions. It was also ugly as sin. I'm not sure why it's a classic. At least when I bought The Watchmen I could see a shadow of why it was so iconic at the time. What influences filtered down from it.

I choose to believe that's literally the only thing that kept Supes from taking action. Knowing he couldn't kill the mother fucker in a tantrum, and frankly keeping a guy like that locked up is a gamble too.

Best to just leave him alone and hope his cowardly nature keeps him out of your way. Which it did till Supes refused to release his son.

Exactly - Lord Supes knows he's not acting like a good person and accepts that he has to do bad things for the sake of making the world a better place. But even then we never see him go as far as doing anything straight up evil until the moment he's about to kill Wally, he's just doing shit the JLU-verse wouldn't approve of like lobotomizing baddies and taking over the government.

Regime Supes spends most of the first five years before Injustice constantly doing bad things while lying to himself that he's not doing bad things; whether it's beating Ollie to a pulp, torturing Batman, or vaporizing protesters. It's not until the actual game that Regime Supes finally just drops the act altogether.

Bruce was reborn as Batman because of his parents death. Alfred is the only reason why Bruce is even alive or capable of directing his insanity properly. Bruce has had four male Robins, one female Robin and three Batgirls, not including others like Azrael and allies such as Catwoman. Like it or not but Batman is arguably one of if not the most social member of the Justice league and has always been a highly empathetic person despite his desperate attempts to push people away and his paranoia problems.

Bruce's empathy problems are referenced damn near constantly with his Hero complex basically being confirmed as a mental illness making him just as insane as anyone from his Rogue's Gallery,
>>
>>93456802
I think the reason he's always the guy is because he's seen as the closest to a literal god in the DC canon. His story is even analogous to Jesus so they pick him as some kind of allegorical "what if the Messiah went into business for himself" scenario.
>>
>>93467824
Honestly Batman having his own 'Injustice' story would be really cool if they get into his mind and how he plans it all out. There is no doubt that Batman could ruin the entire Justice League and become the Dictator of Earth if he were to just keep his mouth shut and work behind the scenes, I imagine that the ending would feature the Justice League breaking out of the various prisons that Bruce locked them in with their own armies to fight him. Imagine the GLC, Amazons, Kryptonians, etc and the Legion of Doom all working together to take back the Earth from Bruce's madness.

Dead. Every BatFag wants to see Batman kill Superman.
Instead of making Batman the righteous hero striking down a godlike tyrant.. It's the humble visitor from another world, who refuses to maim or kill his one true friend.

This shows that Bruce can't come back from the abyss, and thus Flash can stop Bruce's heart as revenge.

Then the sequel, Bruce wakes up in the Lazarus Pit, and begins screaming 'NOOOOOOOOOO!' at the top of his lungs, as Talia strokes her pregnant belly, and hums 'Here comes the bride'.

It would be an extremely difficult thing to judge. Not to mention the whole punching and calling each other out on killing villain/behaving like giant pussies.

The Authority would call out the JLA for not killing those villains that are clearly too insane/sociopathic/powerful AND insane AND sociopathic to let live (like Joker, Darkseid and more). And they wouldn't be wrong at all considering that even despite them most of the time terminating their targets, The Authority didn't mindlessly kill left and right and actually did, as mentioned before, even converted that one mad scientist to their side.

On the other hand The Authority changed a lot depending on the writer, so I don't know which version should be put in (probably the less brutal, but still pretty rock hard one). One time they did protect people in a apocalyptic waste and later they left them and Midnighter beat a old guy to death. Also their villains tend to make Joker look like Joe Chill.

The Ellis days incarnations of them were the best ones.

I should have made plain that's the version I'm thinking of. I think after a few pages of wide-screen whupass the Authority and the Justice Lords would probably come to some kind of an agreement on whatever it is they were fighting about - their too evenly matched in my opinion and neither side want to take the potential body count. But the Injustice League? Like I said, stomp because it's just crazy Supes dragging most of the others along, and that's not a team.

Goddamn, Lord Supes' costume still looks cool to me after all these years. I wish it was an alternative costume for mainstream Supes in the fighting games he's in.

How come the Joker never got the chair. After to many escapes, you think they'd just expedite the process.

>>93453674
this is where they had the most potential for the multiple jokers theory, they could show how there are the real jokers the ones with plans and the copycats who wanted to try it and did minor things

Because they were The Authority and not evil dictator assholes that would kill a child for making them angry.

Assuming the Lords are on comic book power levels and not the low levels everyone in the cartoon had:

Lords. Look at who each don't have.

The CSA speedster Johnny Quick is a junkie who has never shown the clarity necessary to do speed force tricks. He shouldn't be too hard to deal with

Martian Manhunter on the other hand provides a whole host of powers and abilities to his side, especially telepathy powers.

The other members more or less balance each other out.

>>93475490
I'd love it. Write it like a horror movie where everyone starts dying one by one and no one knows how or why because Batman is manipulating everything behind the scenes.

Think of it like Tower of Babel meets And Then There Was One.

Can't cancel out Superwoman's whip of submission or whatever. Bitch can dominate anyone with that thing.

Authority are overpowered with The Doctor, The Engineer and Jack Hawksmoore Homo Urbanis.
If they had Green Lantern to match The Engineer and a Speedster, maybe they'd have a chance. Anyway Wildstorm characters usually win stuff.

She needs to get it around J'onn for it to work. And he can phase or shapeshift out of it. And he might be more willing to use his telepathy on his own team mates and fight her for control.
GL can expand a forcefield around himself so it comes off

what about the time the Joker stole Myx's power and reshaped the whole universe in his image?
>>
>>93478473
If we're talking JLA instead of Regime JLA wins and wins hard. Most of them are capable of operating at FTL speeds and J'onn is a hard counter to The Doctor who needs to concentrate to pull off his magic. Don't forget Morrison JLA was doing "widescreen" comics years before Authority. He Authority has never had to deal with anything like Crisis Times 5, Rock of Ages, It, or World War 3 before. The closest they got was the Evil Doctor and he would have killed them all if The Doctor didn't pull off a Hail Marry. Seth was enough to curbstomp The Authority and he's not a patch on what Morrison JLA usually fought.

Oh so you're asking what The Authority would do in the Evil Superman Fighting game universe. Oh. Probably capture a bunch of characters and start a revolution against Superman and not go head on while hiding the carrier using the Doctor's powers. The Authority don't super hero as a verb like other characters, they are more thinky.

To be fair, Superman comes close to murdering a number of the Regime just for them daring to question him.

I wish there was an alt universe where someone kills the Joker and DOESN'T become a global dictator.

Batman would go out of hi way to be a dick to whoever killed Joker while they continue to carry on and not kill average criminals.

"Killing one remorseless irredeemable psycho doesn't make me into one Bruce. I just want to kill monsters like that white faced thing you treated like a pet all these years. Not bank robbers. Not even murderers. Just monsters."

"But where do you draw the-"

"How about 100+ victims? That a good enough line for the bat-virtue?"

The outfit from the Godfall arc that was a skin in the first Injustice looks very similar to it. In fact, until I read Godfall after finding out about it from said skin's description, I thought it was the Justice Lords outfit.

Because the Lords were written well. We saw Lex become president and do something so horrendously fucked up the League had to assault the White House and put him down.

It felt less like they wanted to take over and more circumstances led them to take over, sort of like the Gruenwald Squadron Supreme. There was a power vacuum and they filled that vacuum as best they could.

Superman's Regime is retarded because

1. Batwank out the ass. "Only Batman is strong enough not to be corrupted by power. Only Batman is strong enough to not fall for the Joker's mind games". Everyone knows Bruce is the League member closest to the edge and yet he's the only good one.

2. Somehow killing Joker is supposed to be the line that once crossed cannot be stepped over again. Killing Ted Bundy with a nuke somehow leads to global dictatorship. And its all to wank off Batman's no kill rule. They even do it again with Brainiac in Injustice 2. "No Superman we can't kill the genocidal alien we must be good".

3. Superman and Wonder Woman are needlessly cruel and evil. It's not enough they have to take over the world. They have to be evilllllll about it. They have to employ supervillians and kill Captain Marvel for disagreeing with them (there better be a Billy premier skin Boon you fucker)
>>
>>93483948
That is true. Particularly after Ellis left the book. But they aren't incompetent fuckups who headshot children.

They'd like Superman's Regime about as much as Red Hood did and would fight them on general principal.
>>
>>93483974
>They even do it again with Brainiac in Injustice 2. "No Superman we can't kill the genocidal alien we must be good".
Atleast he has an excuse with that one.
Having Brainiac alive is better than letting power hungry Supes or his fuccboi Cyborg fuck around with his shit.

Salvation Run just showed what a shit character Joker is.

GLs job are to keep planets spining. Genocides are bad aswell, but they won't interviere with every single small border dispute or civil strife.
