If Superman was ever like that in the comics, I could imagine him doing a little tit for tat every now and then. I'm sure he's done it every once in a while, but I'm too lazy to look right. now

Come on, man. You really think Zod was going to change his crazy agenda for earth when he was going to kill off whole houses of so-called "inferior bloodlines" of his own people? Get real.

Yeah, they also said Justice League is Affleck's last DCEU film. Now they saying he's going to be in Flashpoint. I don't believe rumors anymore. They rarely turn out to be true.

Is this enough of a reason to fear him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8EydFeuPK8

As for Batman, this version is nothing new. As you should know (if you're a Batman fan), this version is based on The Dark Knight Returns, which was a Frank Miller story that was extremely popular. And that Batman used guns and actually killed directly. He didn't shoot the gun out of a gunman's hand like the cartoon adaptation, nor did he shoot the gas tank and alow him to inflammate himself like BvS. He shot the criminal directly and killed him. So they used this version to illustrate how dark a time in Batman's life this was. 20 years as Batman and Jason Todd being killed by the Joker finally took his toll on Bruce. After so many years of doing the same thing and nothing changing, it pushed him over the edge of not caring anymore. But Superman's sacrifice reminded him that there is still hope and inspired him to form the Justice League. Yeah, that was Golden Age Superman. A jerk who they didn't quite get down yet. By the time of the Silver Age, they perfected him as a character. So your saying they should just do the mistakes of the past back when it was okay for Superman to want to have a relationship with his cousin? Yeah, i don't want them to go backwards. I want them to go forwards.

I'm not saying work with Zod, but at least give him that chance. Superman says "Krypton had its chance" but he never gave them that chance on another planet like in the New Krypton arc.

He is only in Flashpoint so they can replace him with Jake Gyllenhall in that very movie once Barry notices the changes.

Doesn't matter how many people he saved when he recklessly destroyed Metropolis.

People used that excuse so many times with me, i have lost count. This Batman is based off an overrated story made by a sick crazy perv known as Frank Miller. Basically going for the worst version of Batman to adapt. The reason that story was iconic was because it gave way to other better dark stories for Batman such as the Killing Joke. Also i would be okay if this was an arc for Batman, but really it was not. He still kills people even after the complete 180 in the Martha scene. Going around murdering people. Also even in Justice League, i don't buy his change because Superman barely gave people hope himself.
