Poll of the Day > I read all of Injustice the comic book

(+) Yeah! (+)

(based on the video game)

It had its good moments but ultimately devolved into bootleg muscleman hit muscleman and felt like a fanfiction.

Superhero universe combinations feel like a pander rather than good story telling. There's no reason Batman and Starfire (or the 20 other magical goofballs running around) need to exist in the same universe. It's like mixing spaghetti with M&Ms.

Superman is, as always, one of the most underrated and well developed characters in comics. They did the political story very well, superman started by doing something your average person might do, overthrowing dictators, telling the world no more war, but then realized that he was too spread thin to enforce that, so he started forming his own government (but what money superman from where), which was fascist. Idk if it would have devolved into fascism immediately just like that, but yeah I can see that happening. (they even called out Israel/Palestine specifically, lol.)

Batman is still kind of dickweed for not killing the Joker, but cut him some slack, it's not a plothole because DC Joker is obviously too popular to kill, he was actually right all along... You obviously can't kill anyone ever for any reason or you yourself will become a serial killer...

Did you read injustice 2?

I watched all the cut scenes which actually became a decent movie

I read all 5(?) years but it ended before they took down Superman so I guess I don't know what to read next chronologically

And yeah it's better than any official Justice League movie.

I think I stopped reading it in year 3. The best issue was the one with the kid remembering the good ol' days of Superman.

Everything I've heard of the comics isn't very good, which sucks because I thought that it was one of the most original and intresting premises for a story in years of DC stuff and the games were pretty good for fighting game stories.

It's cool if you like the characters, it has a lot of good moments, and finally kills some of these bastards that have annoying endless plot armor for the sake of the franchise (starts off by killing the king of plot armor).

When your story involves 50+ superheros/villains there's really only so much you can do before you lose cohesion. But no, everyone wants spiderman to meet superman.

Oh, and Wonder Woman is to blame for all of it. She really, really sucks. You could even say she took advantage of Superman and manipulated him into doing all of it in this comic.

(but what money superman from where)

I mean, you're talking about someone who can fly into space, grab an asteroid, drag it back, punch it, and then wham, instant rare earth resources like iridium. Tons of easy money that way.

Not to mention we've seen him make diamonds out of coal with his bare hands.

And all that's before you take into account the fact that it's probably easy to start taxing people when you can punch anyone who refuses to pay into space.

if you're going to just start punching people for money, just go grab a bank vault

It's as simple as he took over all the worlds governments. So he kinda has their money
