Then Batman appears to save Joker from Supes trying to kill his ego
Funny you should say that. This issue ends with Supes threatening Joker that if he ever showed his face around Metropolis again he wouldn’t be leaving alive.
Why did he let him go?
Because he knew Bruce let Joker get to Metropolis to ‘test’ him. It ends with Superman giving Batman the same warning he gave Joker
>Pull that shit again, and Joker’s coming back to Gotham in a body bag.
This might actually be Bruce's biggest dick move.
Why the frick did Bruce do that?.
To make superman look cool
To make him THINK.
Batman is a mentally ill brainlet.
This has been implied multiple times
Why Bruce is a victim and all victim need have a illusion of "control", him believe have alway the control of each situation, each crimen and each madman in Gotham.
And Super remember him to easy is lost the control
I always thought it was more that Batman is a raging autist that Superman tries to be friends with.
Tell me again how Batman is supposed to be a hero and not a deranged rich guy playing power fantasies when they write things like that...
Because they can retcon anything that seems morally dubious out of canon whenever they want.
it's simply, DC's writers are Bat-tards who will go out of their way to make Superman OOC just to run a whole series who's sole purpose is character assassination.
>get tricked into killing Louis, his unborn child and all of metropolis
>constantly having Wonder Woman false flag him for several years straight because she thinks most of humanity fricking sucks thanks to falling in love with an actual fricking nazi
>believes Batman is trying to take his parents hostage
>gets his shit kicked in by the real Superman in one version and realizes the error of his ways from a Louis who lost her Clark in another
Sure, buddy, totally OOC, hardship can't shake the man of sue EVER.
Yeah, all of that would frick a person up.
But not so much they'd kill a kid in cold blood for saying "invading other dimensions is wrong" unless they were already fricked up to begin with. I can't believe you're actually defending how Injustice Superman is written
What part of "gets his shit kicked in by the real Superman" did you not understand, they bring in *the real* Superman specifically to show the difference between them.
Doesn't change the fact that Injustice was written as Batwank. Hell even Tom Taylor said he disagreed with how eager the story was to torment Superman.
Except Injustice Supes was just like real Supes before everything went to shit for him, everything going to shit (and being friends with Lex) are the only major differences in their lives. So trying to sell Injustice Supes as a completely different person at his core doesn't really work
no he
never fought braniac
never meet supergirl
never fought luthor
>List me some stories that could happen if luthor wasn't important
never fought bizzaro
never fought mongul I black mercy
never had his parents die
Bruce kept on telling him that he must be wonder woman contingency plan
never fought the elits
>never fought braniac
>never meet supergirl
>never fought bizzaro
>never fought the elits
None of these shaped who main Superman is as a person
>never fought luthor
>>List me some stories that could happen if luthor wasn't important
I already mentioned Lex as a major difference in my post.
The Injustice Superman we see before everything goes to shit seems just like main Superman, missing out on fighting a couple more costumed clowns and aliens is not enough to make him a totally different person.
I feel like having no Lex to occupy his time and being around the much much shittier league members is enough to explain it. I mean, Wonder Woman killed Nazi Steve Trevor and Batman planted a virus in Cyborg the day he met him.
Main Superman has already dealt with Batman being an unhinged butthole multiple times, and even in Injustice they still seemed like friends. Injustice Wonder Woman was a lunatic though yeah
>never fought braniac
>never meet supergirl
>never fought bizzaro
>never fought the elits
None of these shaped who main Superman is as a person
????? what fricking comic/media did you ever fricking watch yes those things are like a massive frick part of the superman mythos and shaped superman. You mean to tell me that having cousin form your lost world and having to face a group of anti-heroes that when beaten try to do the same shit the joker did in IJ never shaped main superman
like like saying oh Main batman veteran the fricking same just never fought scarecrow, two face, poison ivy, never had a long halloween or court of owls
>You mean to tell me that having cousin form your lost world
A Superman before and after meeting Supergirl is not different outside of his direct interactions with her, he is still completely the same person otherwise. Hell there are continuities with no Supergirl period and it's still "yeah that's good ol Superman"
>having to face a group of anti-heroes
They were villains pretending that they weren't.
Supergirl and the Elites are very unimportant to the core of Superman as a character.
>oh Main batman veteran the fricking same just never fought scarecrow, two face, poison ivy, never had a long halloween or court of owls
Yeah, you can easily do that, as it's been done many times. Hell, Court of Owls is barely a decade old and Batman has been around for eight decades.
then by logic then only thing important starts and end at their origin story + a few miscellaneous adventures
Honestly? Yeah that's the case for most characters that have been around so long, they're largely unchanging for most of their existence, to the point they sometimes seem like a parody of themselves.
DESU, Injustice is suppose to be THE worst case scenario that only works because people forget certain things about Superman.
Batman not rich guy, is a rich guy and Gotham is his playground
and then Batman will proceed to spend egregious amounts of time and resources to come up with a plan to take down Superman but won't put a fraction of that effort in to taking out the Joker... someone who has actually killed people just for fun.
and Bat-tards will defend this
I like this page related to
, because it's true that Supes has made the pretentious speech (a bit meta), but it was also psychological warfare to undermine his ego, Superman does not deny how dangerous and cunning the Joker is.
This is fricking moronic. From Superman ranting about how the joker sucks as a character to Batman and Superman being insanely out of character for a "batman bad, superman badass" moment, it's all so fricking absurd. Neither of them would ever act like this.
>Neither of them would ever act like this.
Batman seething at Superman happens all the time, though?
Batman would not watch the Joker trot his way down to Metropolis just to frick with Superman. Superman would not let the Joker just trot his way from Metropolis back to Gotham just to frick with Batman.
>hmmm my psycho clown nemesis is free and going to metropolis guess I'll see what happens lol
>hmmm batman's psyhcho clown nemesis is running around metropolis guess i'll send him back home with a warning
Literally any deaths or any kind of injury joker inflicts on anyone at all as he's roaming around metropolis and gotham would be on both of their heads but dude it's so meta
That depends on whether or not Joker is "Supernatural Living Embodiment of Chaos; Scion of Dr. Gotham" Joker or "I have to formulate an actual gag to be doing before I hurt people" Joker. He wasn't always a killing a whole office building worth of people every time he showed up until people started wanking him as the ultimate villain.
It's the former. The whole comic is just superman doing an epic verbal takedown of a joker that is both a strawman of joker fans and uhh a parody of modern joker.
now that's some cringy writting
Are we getting a storytime maybe?
based krtekposter
Man Batman is a c**t
Just send him to the Phantom Zone. Clark doesn't compromise his no kill rule + JoKEK gets to frick off forever.
Supes doesn’t have a no kill rule in this specific issue. As he says in pic related, he just generally doesn’t like killing people.
>Superman literally laughing in his face
Kino
joker will have the last laugh
This is fricking great. We need more of this and less of the moronic bullshit where even immortals who can benchpress mountains are horrified of some clown homosexual with no powers.
Then he blows up your wife and unborn child
Worse. He made Supes himself murder preggo Lois through kryptonite fear gas.
That's moronic.
I'm pretty sure Superman's "no-kill" rule doesn't apply to monsters. Hasn't he stated before when he's fought the likes of Mongul that, he'd rather not kill them, but if the punch that knocks them takes their life, he won't shed any tears about it?
Isn't picrel from an au where superman is more jaded/less empathetic?
>Isn't picrel from an au
No
>superman is more jaded/less empathetic
Yes, because that's the only kind of character Azzarello can write.
Source?
Hahahaha OH FRICK you just made me kill pregnant Lois.
Hahahahah OH FRICK you just made me kill my whole family.
Hahahahaha OH FRICK it's the 20th time you managed to mind control me!
I can't take this seriously.
Didn't work out so well in Lego Batman.
It actually ends with Batman revealing that he set it up as a test, which pisses Supes off to the point of telling Batman if he ever does that again, he’ll kill him too.
No it doesn't he just says he won't see the Joker again
I really like seeing Superman acting in this role of "annoyed parent indulging in the kids bullshit just to be nice even though they genuinely don't hold any power over him"
Don't say that Supes you are clearly making him horny.
Actually sups looks a little bit pathetic here.
He, the demigod, is trying to beat joker ideologically, morally, but actually dominates joker, the ordinary man, by physical power.
Joker is not an ordinary man he regularly outsmarts an entire police department, stumps the world's greatest detective, and is personally responsible for more deaths than should be possible for one man.
>outsmarts
Don't pretend that you didn't understand that I was talking about physical abilities.
Kek, Landis used the literal strawmanning.
Batman physically beats the absolute frick out of Joker regularly so what makes it any worse when Superman does it? The fact that Joker can't just stab him with a knife?
Batman's relationship with joker is usually cringy too and also:
>The fact that Joker can't just stab him with a knife?
Yes, it makes the difference.
What comic is this?
Adventures of Superman #14 (2014)
I found it thanks, But it's issue 41 not 14
Weird, the wikis I’m seeing all say it’s #14.
My favorite crack pairing.
>You’re a goofy idea only a child would think is cool.
Takes one to know one.
It's a kino scene but this line is a little hamfisted. Feels like something you'd hear in a petty everyday argument, not in a dramatic speech by Superman.
It's the author talking to Jokergays.
>any writer can write you, any actor can play you, all they need to do is come up with their own version and people will applaud. But they will not applaud for you
Unironically one of the best speeches ive ever seen in capeshit. Well done whoever wrote this
>any actor could play you
Tell that to Jared Leto KEK
He played an amazing Morbius tho
Definitely the best live action Morbius I've ever seen
>That time Superman BTFO Joker
>Joker still alive because people ARE watching him
>Joke fundamentally fails on a meta level
>Despite Superman effective being an author message delivery device
>Also Joker lives
This is shitty and sad. Also

All I can hear is Max Landis pretentious ass saying this and it just kinda kills it for me.
I'm reading through it now, and it's a surprisingly great takedown of the Joker, but knowing it's written by a massive hack like Landis gives it a bad taste
I guess it's just broken clocks and all that
>it's a surprisingly great takedown of the Joker
You think that because it's written exactly like a Matt Bors "I AM SILLY" crude straw man strip.
A great takedown of the Joker would be Superman grabbing him by the neck and chucking him into the Phantom Zone at superspeed before he has time to get a single word in.
So you like it and it's obviously better written than 98% of current comics.
On his first time out Landis writes a better Joker than one-note grimdark Scott Snyder ever has.
But because it's written by Max Landis we all have to pretend to hate it.
2020s entertainment in a nutshell. Force yourself not to like actual talent because something-something-something-and-I-read-about-it-online.
Landis wrote a great Superman.
I don't give a shit if he said mean things to waman.
Hey Max. Still mad that you got run out of LA?
>look it up
>mentions calling Rey a Mary sue as a major controversy
Wow, women are objectively moronic
I don't care about the assault controversy or whatever. I just intensely dislike him because he's a pretentious, ugly frick who only got anywhere because of nepotism. He's got no real talent and it seems to me this issue is the only good thing he's ever done

Cringe
Despite its re uses of a lot of the same villains, the digital first adventures of superman serious was great.
Like that one story where superman holds the fabric of the universe together till the last living thing dies. Causing great distress to himself and his body for millenia.
So, how did he make it look natural?
He teleported away in Jokers eyes and used his super speed to dress as Gordon and rape Joker so Joker believes the mallet thing was just him trying to flee from reality
>Any writer can write you, any actor can play you, all they need to do is come up with their own version and people will applaud. But they will not applaud for you.
This is so true that it's not even funny anymore.
>no audience watching you
Even if I didn't know this was Max Landis already, I could've probably guessed it.
This is probably how Snyder wanted his Superman, but managed to frick it up
It was pretty cringy
Get fricked, Clark, you c**t
Is there an instance of Clark not putting up with Bruce's micropenis syndrome and just tying him up in a steel girder on top of a skyscraper in the space between panels or is this as good as it gets?
>when writers gave a sense of realism, gravity, and continuity to their silly kid shit instead of OH MY EEVEEIL BATMAN PLAYS PLANET DODGEBALL WITH THE SUPERGODMOM OF THE UNIVERSE
But Superman is wrong your the audience joker frickin knows superman's too up his own outside underpants to know even tho he's went into a thought robot version of himself and saw actual comic pages be ripped apart in crisis events
>Any actor play you
Deep
Too meta and on the nose, but yeah, modern Joker and his fandom fricking suck.
why doesnt Supergay just kill Lex Luthor then?
Because Lex is a different type of breed of monster
Superman thinks Lex has the potential to be good, and that Joker doesn't.
because Lex was shown being able to do some good if he wants to
that's just the writer saying the joker is a shit character
That last line is too meta and just ruins the whole message. Doesn't help that it comes from Max Landis.
Max Landis writes cape-comics as though the characters within are wholly aware that they're comic book characters and are ready to poke fun/critique their own absurdity. You can bet 100% that if he were ever allowed to write Green Lantern, Kyle would say that he was off world doing "Ring Shit".
