after that nobody cared about him anymore

most people dont see the bigger picture and kinda like to live short term when robots fall on you from the sky or when some cyborg mutants mug you. also he goes about it the wrong way, he's manipulative, seeks profit for himself in detriment of others and hurts, maims or kills most people who stand in his way

>>94856963
Because he doesn't actually believe it. He's hyper intelligent, but crazy like batman. he could do so much good for the world, but he just goes around fucking with superman.

>>94856963
Because thats a lie to make himself look better. All Lex cares about is having the biggest dick in the room, and Superman gets in the way of that.

Great character. Great foil.

Any other Azzarello comics besides Joker and Luthor that you guys would recommend?

>>94856963
Because of his methods in tackling that problem.

And also because at the root, his animosity for Superman isn't driven by altruism, it's driven by narcissism. He wants to be the best on Earth, the Superman all others look up too to inspire them. It's not that Superman makes human progress redundant, it's that Superman makes Lex feel redundant.

>>94857003
The thing I don't get is why don't these rich people who believe in humanity defending itself push for concealed carry and develop more advanced weapons that can kill/disable metahumans

We all know superman would be ok with that because he's from kansas and his parents are both armed as fuck. I don't get how it never occurs to batman that his parents should have been armed. There are lots of rich people in NYC that have the money to get through the humongous maze of hoops it takes to carry a handgun, why couldn't Bruce's parent do that?

>>94856963

Because that motivation is exclusive to YJ.

Normally, he's just a power/knowledge hungry asshole.

>>94858209
Thomas could have been packing heat, though. Wouldn't have mattered. Joe Chill had a bead on him. You can't reach for your piece fast enough to avoid getting shot.

>>94856963

Because if he truly believe in that shit, he'd stop trying to sacrifice the lives of millions of people to kill Superman, he'd either just try to show Superman up and make him irrelevant no, Red Son doesn't count , or he'd invite him to dinner and trick him into eating kryptonite laced soup.

He's just a dick who hates Superman, because he triggers his inferiority complex. How many times has a supercomputer, or another Superman enemy, or Lois Lane revealed to Lex that Clark is Superman?

And how many times has Lex gone

>'what, old geeky yet oddly buff Clark from Smallville?
>Nah, he can't be Superman, I'm the best thing that ever came from that place, and besides, he's a total cuck.
>He even visits Lois Lane right before she obviously starts boning Supes, what a loser.
>Did you know I once caught him changing out of a home made Superman suit? Dude has issues, had to give him a lift to work because I felt so sorry for him.
>And this was after Superman escaped my plans again, so I wasn't even in the best of moods'

He's a fucking jackass who is emasculated by the idea of Superman. Worst thing is, if he approached him coolly enough, he could probably corrupt Clark/Supes into doing his bidding for a more Utopian society.

>Well you see Clark, may I call you that? Well you see, this regime needs to be overthrown in order for people's lives to improve
>Unfortunately, if I do it with the intel and arms I have, innocent people will die.
>However, if you do it, we can save everyone! We can reintroduce education, and sanitation and healthcare.
>What do you say? Smallville can save the world if we work together.

Lex believes (or at least has convinced himself) that Superman represents an end to human achievement. Humans will never fly like him. Humans will never be as powerful as him. So humanity will stop striving to achieve greatness and depend on him.

But consider the Legion of Super-Heroes. LoSH started as a Superman spin-off story. 1000 years in the future, a group of teenagers inspired by Superman, all becoming heroes with their own unique powers, working to protect a peaceful inter-stellar civilization where humans and aliens live and work side-by-side. Technological advancement and humans and aliens mixing together have allowed mankind to achieve things that were thought impossible. And they all have rings that let them fly just like Superman.

LoSH existing is literally the proof that Luthor was wrong.

In my experience this is most true in areas where gun laws are extremely liberal, and the least true in areas where gun laws are very restrictive.

West Montana is the safest place I've ever lived to walk down the street at 2 in the morning, but you'd get stabbed to death in NYC at 2am by yourself.

>>94860631
Batman stance on guns is really random.
Sometimes he is super autistic about them, other cases he has no problem using them. It honestly makes no sense for him to not want people to have them, he should probably be in full support of people being able to defend themselves.

Honestly if gotham started handing CCWs to anyone who isn't a felon or sex offender joker would end up getting killed by some random guy or some old lady carrying a .380 in her purse.

But he doesn't actually care about those things at all, he legitimately doesn't care about the people and only does it for recognition he just fucking despises Superman for simply being better than him

>>94856963
Because intent doesn't matter, action does.

>>94858449
The GOAT Lex moment

>>94860785

I feel this is pretty hard to visualise, depending on where you come from, so it's fair enough it's not consistent.

What guns represent to parts of the world that are not the US is the power to take someone's life without skill, conviction, and sometimes even intent. Any moron can kill someone with a gun, especially considering the... interesting situation healthcare in the US is in.

This is excacerbated by the prevalence of 'cop killer' bullets. Arguably against the Geneva convention, these bullets will effectively explode with their maximum force inside a victim, rather than simply penetrating and causing relatively smaller (but still significant) damage.

>But that's just killing anyway, what's the difference

The difference is that it offers little chance for surrender, for treatment, for mercy. It will almost always cause massive haemorraging, vein and organ damage. By shooting someone with a normal bullet, you have caused them great pain but there is hope for change and treatment and mercy. By using 'softer' bullets, you've condemned them to an extremely painful and near assured death. Even if they survive due to some miracle, you have ruined their life forever, for anything as stupid as a drunk confrontation, to an accidental misfire.

Now imagine Batman, a man whose parents died due to an arguably desperate and deranged criminal, in no control of his actions, who was able to kill with a nervous twitch.

He then grows up to fight crime in a city where everyone is either a psycho with no control, a flawed machiavellian schemer who thinks the ends justify the means without ever walking the hard path of justice, or both.

That is why Batman hates guns, because it's so easy to take someone's life, with less effort than using garden shears. Lives he swore to protect, to improve, despite his inner demons and unresolved emotions.

Batman hates guns because they represent everything he fears; an easy path to take others lives just to make his simpler.

>>94861048
Take game of thrones for example.

If guns existed and Tyrion had the option of pistol dueling the mountain, he would seriously consider the option because he would have a real chance of winning.

Guns represent everything you mention to Americans, which is precisely why their use and ownership is so advocated. A gun means a 90 year old woman can survive a home invasion. It means a 98 pound 20 year old girl can kill a rapist. It means you can do something about the 5 knife wielding killers stalking you on the way home from work.

>>94856963
He wants to remove something that makes American comics so outstanding and great and turn them into Franco-Belgian snorefests.
You want them to succeed? Say good bye to superpowers like laser gaze and flying and say hello to mundane boring characters, who have to solve crimes through wits, cleverness and intelligence.

Your unreasonable anger towards people better than you needs to stop Pat

>>94861163

Oh I know, don't worry. I was just trying to get across why Batman doesn't like them, especially across more recent decades when his parents death has been more emphasised over the bat utility belt.

Personally I think there's a huge culture of fear in the US, which is why guns may not be as effective a deterrent as they might seem, and the guns themselves aren't the problem but the fact that every defensive opportunity presents several offensive ones in people's fear is.

That being said, their original intended use of creating a well armed militia for the defense of inherent freedoms of all will probably never work, for a whole number of reasons. Freedom isn't free, some are more equal than others comes to mind.

But I digress, Lex is a shit.

>>94856963

And I agree with why Batman doesn't use them, and it's because of his lack of accountability to any kind of authority. His legitimacy as a hero would evaporate if he started killing, since he believes in the law and due process.

>>94861163
This stems from a really unique form of American culture though. American culture is based on the "do it yourself" mentality that comes from the Wild West and Frontier Expansion eras in American History that very few if any other cultures have. In your listed scenarios, many people would hope or assume that a governing entity would come and help, but in the US, its assumed that no one can help you except yourself. If your family is attacked by Indians in the frontier, you better be able to defend yourself.

That's why its always make more jobs instead of welfare; why healthcare is buy or die; and why people still want to buy, use, and protect guns.

>>94856963
He had a questionable way of going about that. It's not the intention that makes one a hero you know

>>94860631
When you live in a place where there's no possibility of encountering crime and you carry anyway, there's other motives at play.

>>94861514
>no possibility of encountering crime

>>94861539
Rural environments don't really have random muggings. You might still see the occasional gas station stick-up but most of the violent crime is between people who aren't strangers to each other.

>>94861604
And by "see the occasional gas station stick-up" I mean you will never personally experience it, you'll just hear about it on the 10 o'clock news and it won't be in your town where almost none of the gas stations are open past 10 or 11 PM.

>>94856963
That's not what he actually wants. That's just him making excuses for himself, going "If it weren't for Superman, I'd be curing cancer!" as if Superman has been actively stopping him from finding a cure.

>>94860785
It's not random. Batman doesn't like guns because one was used to gun down his parents in cold blood. He usually lives by his own moral code, and doesn't impose his view on the cops who carry guns. The problem is that people take Batman's aversion to it's extreme and paint him as some kind of gun control advocate.

If someone is threatening you with force then the two courses of action you can take are to surrender and hope they are merciful or fight back. If you fight back, as is your moral right, you should attempt to incapacitate your aggressor as quickly as possible to minimize danger to yourself. Rendering your aggressor unconscious is the only way to incapacitate them since even a semi-conscious person is still a grave threat. It makes no difference to you the nature of "unconsciousness" whether they are truly unconscious, or actually just dead so you should use maximum available force to prevent causing only semi-conscious, and hollow-point bullets are the best choice for unarmored targets.

Hollow-point bullets are also good for preventing over-penetration which could result in the injury or death of innocent bystanders.

Finally, It is the Hague Convention of 1899 not the Geneva convention that banned expanding bullets. The Hague Convention only applies to war and was never ratified by the United States.

I like this. It's such a petty and cruel way to mess with people's minds and make them question all the choices they've made throughout their entire lives. And it looked like he just chose her as his victim for pretty much no reason, too; he just wanted to cause anguish to some random average person who had done nothing to wrong him.

>>94856963
It's just bullshit justification. He has the super-science and the money to get free energy across the world, make super bio-enhancements or cybernetics as cheap and affordable as cell phones, and the connections and influence (and money) to literally stop wars as he's done many times before in canon. What does he do with all that? Hordes what he can for himself, and blow his load trying to kill people he disagrees with. Never once does it cross his mind that if he actually put as much effort into solving world issues as he does trying to kill capes, the capes would retire. It's clear he doesn't really want what he claims, he just wants to be important and powerful, and has a grudge against Superman.

>>94867985
They're an exception.

>>94868199
They don't have to be, it's been co firmed in a few different stories that there's ways to make meta humans, there's even pills that make your Kryptonian in some stories. Does Lex use these to better mankind, or does he use them to live out his fantasies selfishly and take jabs at supes?

>>94859605
Then why isn't Batman advocating for a monogenetic fascist state?

>>94856963
Because even if it was true (it isn't) there is such thing as being a villain not because of your goals but because of your means.

Nox wanted only to save his family. He's still a villain because to do that he killed uncountable people in the span of centuries.

>>94868352
Nox had the benefit of "if it works, I won't be a villain" which he used to justify the means. If Lex wins, he's still a murdering selfish rich asshole.

>>94868296
There are alternate timelines in which Batman did just that. On balance, living in a fascist state is just as dangerous, only the danger comes from the state rather than some random mugger in an alleyway (though fascist can still have plenty of those).

One of the only good fanfics I've ever read posited that Lex was actually being brainwashed by aliens. They wanted him psychotic and obsessed with defeating Superman, because otherwise if he and the other super geniuses among humanity got their shit together, the human race would steamroll the rest of the galaxy.

>>94868199
They really aren't. What they're doing is clearly well within humanity's capabilities.

>>94862638
The problem is there's nowhere to go with the story.
Characters like that don't really maintain the status quo as a victory. In theory their world should keep improving at a rapid rate, and its incredibly hard to write that unless you start with cavemen with an immortal mastermind.

But at that point you aren't playing Luthor, you're playing Prometheus.

People shit on Lexall the time because he is ultimately a villain, but why does Stark not get the same rep? Sure, he has his moments of "here, take some trinkets I've upgraded 1191919190 times since" altruism, but to stay filthy rich, means he's still a "profit comes before heroing" businessman. Why is he considered a hero and Lex a villain? If you want to be technical, Tony is even worse, considering he has good PR and pretends to be a hero, while ultimately being a self-absorbed cunt.

>>94860810
>How is Batman Crazy?

I'm not sure how canon this is anymore, but I always go back to the TAS episode with the Grey Ghost. Dude's essentially arrested in mental development. He's dressing like a bat and beating the shit out of people because that's what the TV hero did when he was 8. I think they've since pushed the angle of preying on superstition instead, but that initial motive exposes a child-like naivety in Bruce.

>>94868199
>>94868275
See this: >>94857546
I think this was in 52. Lex managed to give humans meta-abilities, but it didn't work on himself, so he shut those abilities down, while a lot of them were mid-flight.

>>94868624
In the current storyline in Superman comics Lex tries to be a hero, too, we will see how this goes.

In other storylines I would say that Stark is less likely to kill everyone who stands in his way, than Lex is. Lex would have to be compared to Batman, who is also a multibillionaire.

>>94858209
>The thing I don't get is why don't these rich people who believe in humanity defending itself

A villain is, like a hero, not born out of their ideals, or morals, but the execution of their end game. Plenty of heroes have been seen as anti-heroes, simply because their goal was positive, yet they did unethical things to achieve them, or their goal was actually a bit warped, yet they played it by the book until the bitter end. Lex has a goal in mind that many people would agree with and want to see come to fruition, but the majority see his methods of doing so as very corrupt and detestable. Plus, he has made enemies of those who are seen as heroes, so automatically he will have to deal with a villainous image, at least, until the truth comes to light.

You mean the Hague Conventions (Geneva Conventions don't cover weapons but conduct)... and nobody ACTUALLY follows the spirit of those anymore, even the (surviving) signatories, unless they just want to bully an upstart nation that didn't even exist in 1899.

Hell the United States wasn't even a signatory to half of the conventions (we wanted to keep our gas artillery, expanding bullets, and airship carriers) and over half the nations that DID sign have had an average of three changes of government since.

Expanding bullets are also only really useful against civilian targets as they have greatly reduced armor penetration. If anything vest wearing cops are the people most likely to survive.

There was a five year ban (with obvious room for further extension) 'concerning the Prohibition of the Discharge of Projectiles and Explosives from Balloons or by Other New Analogous Methods.'

At the time aeroplanes didn't have the weight loads or airtime for strategic bombing so airships were the most obvious route people could see to concept of Air Superiority as we know it today.

This concept was regarded as having such horrific implications for civilian welfare and the ability for smaller, less funded states to defend themselves. Even in the late 19th century intelligent leaders and thinkers could forcast that this essentially negates fortification as a concept, favored wealthier, larger states and would lead to saturation bombing of civilian targets like cities and manufacturing.

Some thinkers hoped this would result in an 'age of peace' as surely all powers involved would realized that they were vulnerable as 'The Bomber Will Always Get Through' Basically, predicting MAD before the invention of nukes.

A particularly astute thinker would have realized that this would eventually resort to the development of asymetrical warfare as a counter and our modern institutions of non-uniformed warfare/terrorism.


Both Britain and America are the only major powers to refuse to sign that declaration. Ironically, they are also the only major powers party to the convention that have had a contiguous line of government since then.

Dunno about you but I'd rather have the occasional proxy war with some jihadis bleeding through to hit civies than shit like WW1 and WW2 with casualties in the millions.

Actually I made a mistake here. True, US and UK were the only major powers to NOT ratify the first ban on balloon bombing..

However, the second Hague Convention in 1907 saw an amusing reversal in which the US and UK (along with China) were the only major powers to ratify this particular condition, not that it ended up mattering anyway as basically everyone found ways to use the toys they really wanted (ex: Imperial Germany figuring out how to deploy gas from a tank and hose dispenser and using the wind to sweep it into trenches rather than using specifically forbidden 'gas artillery'.)


Anyhow, getting too off topic, as mentioned before, Lex doesn't actually hold to the beliefs he occasionally spouts, and if he did he'd have long ago just started supplying kyptonite lasers, jetpacks or some analogous force equalizer to the public. He just wants everyone to look up to him as the 'Super Man' instead, and it burns him up that he can't represent human perfection and power when Superman exists to show just how far he really has to go.

Guns aren't as easy at use and even get a hold of than you're making it out to be, but I get your point. It goes deeper than the old west though, it has to do with the entire country being built when guns were prevalent. Without guns, we probably wouldn't have won the Revolution in the first place.

He doesn't want any of that you faggot.

At heart he's just a petty little man that is throwing a tantrum because people are looking up to Superman instead of him.

Phantom Zoning is waaaaay more evil and fucked up than a simple execution.

Both are permanent punishments with no expectation the individual will come back from it, but with the Phantom Zone you trap them in horrific circumstances where they are still AWARE of their fate.

Its like when Flash paralysed one of his enemies and left him as an exhibit at his musuem, incredibly evil compared to just killing him.
Plus he escaped that state eventually (but driven mad by the torturous experiences) and would have killed untold amount of people if he didn't just happen to get killed by some other villains.

Batman is a control-freak at heart that wants everything to be done only at his allowance, he doesn't want people being able to fight without his personal consent which is why he gets so pissy about other heroes in Gotham.

When you shoot someone in self-defence you shoot to kill, there's no such thing as "shooting to injure".

You don't point your gun at something unless you are willing for it to die, guns are too dangerous a tool to not treat them with proper respect.

Pat really is a midget Lex Luthor, his hatred towards Superman is utterly illogical.

And yet he loves All Might? He feels All Might has all the qualities he actually likes in Superman.

Rural environments have even more reason to be armed, because of the greater chance of encountering hostile wildlife.

The thing is that Stark is considered a world-wide hero, when his "off the books" deeds are pretty sinister.

>That being said, their original intended use of creating a well armed militia for the defense of inherent freedoms of all will probably never work, for a whole number of reasons.

The very fact that your country isn't like North Korea or Cuba right now, and can't possibly become without an apocalyptic civil war is proof that the 2nd amendment IS WORKING.
