Why not just let Superman lobotomize The Joker and Lex Luthor
There’d be no “cause they would turn evil!” Meme because that only happened after their loved ones were hurt or killed
Just laser their brain and put them in mental hospitals. Bam, you’ve just saved millions of lives and eased your workloads by 40%.
What’s the story reason for this meme not happening
Because that would be evil and the good guys have to be better than the bad guys.
The real reason is that because if superman lobotomized every super villain there would no longer be any comic storylines to make.
because that's fricking stupid
Why?
Same reason Batman doesn’t kill or use guns, he’d be too similar to Doc Savage.
>Same reason Batman doesn’t kill or use guns
ngl being in that situation would be terrifying
>can’t outsmart them because Batman is right there
>can’t physically out power them because Superman is right there
RIght? And none the Alternate Evil Superman stories we have use this scene. And it's perfect because holy frick, what's more evil than killing your own former sidekick and best friend?
Jimmy is so cute
Lobotomies are considered a Cruel and Unusual Punishment and therefore are not an option.
Brain rape is not nice.
Lex employs thousands of people across the world, if you bankrupt Lexcorp by taking his super genius CEO away you'll cause a global economic crisis through a domino effect.
No excuse for the Joker though.
>Lex employs thousands of people across the world, if you bankrupt Lexcorp by taking his super genius CEO away you'll cause a global economic crisis through a domino effect.
1. LexCorp does not have that level of influence on the economy
2. If he does, that itself is a crisis
3. Lex being lobotomized would probably make them greater profits, if one accounts for the money they're saving in legal fees to get him out of prison and money not spent on ridiculous world dominating and Superman killing schemes.
>If he does, that itself is a crisis
Coming summer 2023. After Lexcorp went bankrupt in some shitty superman storyline the world economy has entered a massive depression and crime is on the rise. Get ready for Economic Crisis the biggest event ever where nothing will be the same again.
I really want them to do this to Joker just to see what kind of asspull they'd use to bring him back.
>"It was a clone of the Joker!"
>"It was a look-alike"
>"It was Joker from an alternate universe"
>"The Joker is so insane it permeates every fiber of his being so he doesn't even need a brain"
Johns already gave them an out.
>lol sorry Batman, but you just lobotomized a secondary Joker
>they kill the Joker
>confirm DNA, blood, teeth, fingerprints, everything under the sun, is NOT a clone or alt universe
>Batman is 100% sure it’s the real on-
>”HAHA! YOU FELL FOR IT BATMAN! THAT WAS A TIME TRAVELING JOKER EXACTLY 5 SECONDS FROM THE FUTURE!”
Why not their version of US reforms its legal and security system to solve such things instead of relying on a deranged vigilant and an alien demigod to do their job?
muh eternal status quo
>What’s the story reason for this meme not happening
The meme has happened although it was Zatana not Superman doing the lobotomy, and it was addressed in Identity Crisis.
Becasue DC editorial can't decide who'd be on top.
They’d simply make love, both giving and receiving to each other
>What’s the story reason for this meme not happening
Because it's inconsequential.
I wish, thats the only gay shit they need to be pushing.
Batman planned to do something like that in Joker's third appearance.
>we do he can be cured
Early Batman was tender
This is why comics are dumb.
If Joker was just a gangster who made crimes mixed with jokes then the idea of putting him inside jail doesn't sound so bad.
But now that he's a edgelord who kills people for no reason there's basically NO reason on why Batman should NOT kill him.
>I have to be better than him
homie he's KILLING PEOPLE.
Jason was right. Batman is an idiot.
And this wouldn't happen if the writers and fanboys weren't idiots too.
Agreed
Joker is at his best when he’s making wacky random crimes that are at worst dangerous and threatening to people and at best genuinely irritating to Batman
But now he has to pull weird dumb shit like this
