Why did Rorschach die~?
Because he knows the truth, because he wants to make the truth public, right or wrong~? I can't comment, I only know that Rorschach is by no means a damned person...
But Rorschach died, on top of the cold Antarctic ice, and was turned into a pulp by a miniature nuclear explosion...
Murderer - Dr. Manhattan, Murder Motive ——In order to maintain the peace of the century
...
This is a collision between two different ideas of justice, which ends in the death of one party... It is
impossible to distinguish between good and evil, but there is one person whose actions are indeed undisputed injustice - Ozymandis
and he survived because he ended the Cold War, because he brought peace to the world - at the cost of millions of lives...
Why can Dr. Manhattan kill, face to face To a gun-wielding gangster, a Viet Cong soldier, and even Rorschach, a former comrade-in-arms, why did he stand under the banner of justice and have a non-evil heart, yet he could do such a shameless act?" The reason is very simple, because he has lost his "humanity", he no longer uses universal moral standards to measure right and wrong, but looks at every "event" in the world with quantum mechanics
. There is no essential difference in body structure between a cancer patient and a healthy person.
This is just as fucking correct as the truth~!
Maybe a few years ago, Dr. Manhattan saw in the never-ending stream of time the scene of the pregnant Vietnamese woman being shot by the joker many years later... From the joker pulling the trigger, to the firing pin detonating the gunpowder, and then The spark of the bullet pierced the muzzle as the rifling spun toward the woman... Dr. Manhattan could see every detail, but... he didn't do anything, didn't even think about it, because he had no reason to go Interfering with a "death" that can be said to be irrelevant and insignificant in human history, some people died from guns, some people died from disease, all this has nothing to do with human emotions and moral principles, these are the normal necessity Events are inevitable events that have occurred all the time in the thousands of years of human history, and will continue to occur in the future. Manhattan, which has lost human emotion, is no longer sad, no longer impulsive, no longer tears, and no longer recalls. A lover when he was a human... Dr. Manhattan like this understands that Ozymandis' actions have nothing to do with right and wrong, whether from a logical point of view or from a result, compared with the nuclear war that destroys all mankind, the number of sacrifices Peace for a million people is definitely a "wise choice" that can be called "Happy Ending", and this choice has nothing to do with the will of the millions who died and those who survived, they have no choice. , The one who made the choice and implemented it was the high-ranking person with power - Ozymandis, who changed the world with just such a thought. This is power.

In another universe, Superman strictly abides by the bottom-line principle of "do not kill" to punish evil and promote good, but such behavior has not eradicated evil and crime, and is even criticized, even the noble principle of not killing he follows. Also cast aside as "hypocritical"
Superman and Dr. Manhattan are in different parallel worlds, but they have similarities, they both represent justice in that world, and have almost absolute power, the difference is that Superman Consciously obey the law, do not go beyond the law, do not kill, superman has humanity, and has a heart called "Clark", he is humble in front of law, morality and humanity, even if he has the power to shake the earth, but Dr. Manhattan, perhaps what he is looking for is the "truth" that applies to the entire universe, even if it has nothing to do with human nature.
On that day, the atomic skeleton used the radiation force of the atomic explosion he could control freely to poison life on the street in broad daylight, and then Superman subdued him, but as usual, he did not take his life, and handed him over to the government until he Escaped again, the cup reappeared again...
At this time, people's anger broke out~! Why don't the murderers pay for their lives~! Why does the government use taxpayers' money to "raise" them in captivity~! Why can they not pay the "price" to pay for their sins~! Why didn't Superman do what he "should do" when he could do it~!
What if that day was a different day, if that day, things didn't turn out that way, what if, that day, Superman made a decision and action that he never made...?
At the beginning, it was still the old routine, the fight between superheroes and supervillains, and the atomic skeleton challenged Superman inexplicably. He thought that his fists had enough power to knock down Superman, but the facts proved once again that he was wrong. , Superman's heavy punches kept coming, knocking him to the ground, what would a cunning villain do at this time~? Take it soft~? Surrender~? Then Superman will hand him over to the government again. This is "practice", but today something is not right. Superman's fist does not stop, no, but hits the atomic skull with green light. Head, because of anger~? Because out of control~? But the fist would stop eventually, he thought, until he started to feel a little scared, not just because of Superman's overwhelming power, but he vaguely felt that this time, Superman wasn't going to fight any more. He's playing that endless loop of games, and Superman seems to want to end it all, just today, to put an end to his crimes.
Finally, the last devastating punch hit the atomic skeleton's face~! Blast that skull to pieces~!
Everyone was shocked, the onlookers were all quiet, Louis must not believe his eyes, Superman killed the atomic skeleton~!
You can't imagine what happened next... The
crowd burst into cheers for the death of the atomic skeleton~! For the invincible power of Superman~! For the victory of justice~!
Isn't all this what you want~? Isn't that what you want to see~? Superman did it, justice was done, and a peaceful life was back in people's hands.

Then, what will happen next~? It all ends here~? Do you really think that the atomic skeleton is the only person in the world who is so sinful that he wants to kill Superman~?
Do you really think so~?

Some people will never change, such as the clown, who can't tell what he is after to commit crimes, commit those heinous crimes, just because the pain and death of others is the most important thing to him. Top joke~? On this day, he ran out again to "have fun" for himself. He took his group of crazy men dressed as clowns, took some innocent people as hostages, and then started a wonderful murder game that he carefully designed. , waiting for his old buddy to suddenly show up to bring the atmosphere to a climax
Just then a strong storm roared through the walls, and even the clown, the master of drama, didn't expect this to happen, the red-blue The man of steel appeared in front of him,
"This is really a surprise, I thought only that old bat would be willing to come and play games with me~! Hahahahahaha~!"
This is the consistent style of the clown.
Next, he jumps in front of Superman like a clown, laughs wildly, tells gibberish "jokes", then throws a laughing gas bomb at Superman's face, then runs over to Superman with exaggerated body language , suddenly shot strong acid on the blue uniform, and then pretended to shake hands to make peace, but released high-voltage electricity with the props in his hand...
All the tricks were over, even the clown felt a little tired from laughing, and The blue figure did not waver at all, and remained silent
"Oh... damn, this is not fun at all, you are so boring, that old bat can at least tell jokes, yes~! He can tell jokes~! Do you believe it~? Batman can tell jokes~! Hahahahahahaha~!"
Superman remained silent until the Joker's laughter stopped, which was his last laugh...
If it is said that killing the atomic skeleton is an out of control of anger and impulse, then killing the clown is definitely a righteous sanction determined from the beginning, and there is no need to play that infinite loop game with such wicked people, no Do~? Now the rules of the game have changed - starting today, kill for it~!
How many times did Superman throw his fists in total when killing the Atomic Skull~? If all these fists hit the ground, there may be an earthquake in the entire metropolis. However, to kill the clown, you don't need such a large force
to move in front of the clown like a bolt of lightning. In such a close comparison, the clown is in front of the steel giant. Like a short dwarf, he doesn't need to use his fists. Superman just raises his arms and bends his fingers...
At this moment, the Joker seems to understand that he may be crazy, but he is not stupid at all. Hand, sucked in a breath of cold air, those weird eyes narrowed their pupils...
"Slot... This is not funny at all..."
This is the last joke told by the Joker...
Superman only uses one finger to end this The life of the villain...

If Superman corresponds to Doctor Manhattan of the Watchmen, what about Batman~?
For Superman who breaks the principle of not killing, what about Batman~?
If he sticks to his iron rules, then Superman who kills criminals is also a murderer to him, then Batman, like Rorschach, is an unwavering and uncompromising person, he will not identify with Superman How will he behave~? One day, Batman will stop Superman, just like he stopped other super criminals, that day will be the death of Batman, and the same end as Rorschach, when there is already someone in this world who can kill for it. What's the use of these vigilantes who need a fig leaf covering human morality when they are superhuman~? Superman's power can "eliminate" those extremely evil people once and for all, but Batman can only make the cups repeat, how is this different from the complicity of criminals~? When Batman wants to uphold the human rights of criminals, he will be regarded by the world as an accomplice of those criminals, and the world will abandon him. If even Superman starts killing people, there will still be people in the world who take the moral principles of traditional heroes. Are you serious~? The death of a traditional hero, starting with Batman...
If Batman is not like Rorschach, if Batman sees Superman doing something he can't, and the world changes because of it, even if he is dissatisfied, even if he can't agree, he can't change, then Batman will be like Night Owl The same, take off his shirt and retreat home, because the world no longer needs a hero like him, and he has nothing to do with this world... It is also the exit of traditional heroes...

These are not the worst The...none of it...worst of all, when Superman crossed the line, Batman did the same...
Bruce didn't become the stubborn detective Rorschach, Bruce didn't become the cowardly tech nerd, Bruce became the extreme Ozman Dis... This is the worst...

Since then, there are no traditional heroes in the world, and there is no moral bottom line of not killing. Let those violent super criminals experience the dark side of justice~!
Who is next~! Is that you~? Penguin~? Is that you~? Captain Frozen~? still is…?

Lex Luthor~?

When Superman went to kill Luthor, you must still think that it was a divine punishment from heaven, a just punishment, and a final judgment that Superman should have done long ago but has not done yet~?

And no one in this world will know the truth of Luther's death, because there is no need to make people panic, just like the death of Rorschach, Manhattan's "hands-on" is for people all over the world to continue to enjoy the "hard-won" "Peace", what is a human life~?
As for Luther, you should have died a long time ago. It is no exaggeration to say that you are the son of the devil. When you were alive, how many people in the world died because of you, and how much evil did you do to put the world on the brink of danger~ ? It's all going to end today, your world's number one mind can only be used to compose your own epitaph at this time, and hurry up, when Superman decides to kill you, the time you have left is really You don't think you have a chance to compete with Superman, and you have a chance to save your own life from Superman's hands~? You know, you are alive because Superman never wanted you to die before~!
Which is more of a threat to me from the smartest human being in the world or from the smartest termite in the world~?
When you've got plenty of kryptonite at your disposal, when you've upgraded your armor to the highest level, when you're ready to go all-out, Superman just needs to send a deadly heat sight from a kilometer away, and you're Burned to a scorched corpse like yourself in a parallel universe...or when Superman rushes at you a hundred times faster than the nerve conduction of your mind and body and punches you I don't know how...
or Luthor's death just needs to be a carefully disguised accident with the cooperation of Superman and Batman...
When Superman and Batman are going to kill someone in this world, He must die.
Wouldn't anyone see this as a deliberate murder~? No one thinks this is an unjust abuse of lynching, right? The premise is that someone in this world knows the truth of this matter...
Kryptonite has never been a weakness of Superman. Superman has weakness because he has humanity...

If you want this kind of Superman, if you think these are Superman The thing that should be done, then well, let Superman do it...
For the opponents, I will ask you righteously: Don't Atomic Skeletons deserve to die~? Don't the clowns deserve to die~? Doesn't Lex Luthor deserve to die~? And no one in this world can kill them, except Superman~!

That day, Superman received the gauntlet of the Jiying League. That night, Superman and Louis stayed together for one night, until the morning light cut through the horizon, and Louis woke up and saw the note left by Superman: Forgive me...
The Jiyinglian is a group of They don't know that the sky is high and the hairy boy, they even brazenly want Superman to compete with them on the moon, they don't know that the dead outer space is their cemetery, and no one can hear their agony before dying...

The first to die was the winged woman who, in the name of justice, killed the leaders of the two warring countries, as well as many soldiers, Superman and his robotic assistants developed the Energizer without much effort. The virus that killed her, this is simply too easy, I never thought that I could do this before~!
Next is the little brat playing with hats, do you really think you are a great archmage~? I want you to know that you are just a mortal who breathes with your lungs and will die if you leave the air~! Pay the price for your ignorance and arrogance~! And the lives of those soldiers you killed~! This is what you deserve~!
Then there's the big guy who says he's a big guy just compared to a few others, standing in front of Superman, he has to look up~! His resistance is the fiercest~! That punch was equivalent to 15 suns bursting into Superman's face. After the earth-shattering explosion, everyone thought he killed Superman, until the figure appeared in front of him again, he did it, he was injured Superman, but didn't kill him, and he didn't have the energy to punch as powerfully as he did... what's next for him~? Will I be burned to death by heat vision~? Will it be frozen into ice cubes by frozen breath~? Will be mashed into meat~? Their leader didn't even come to see clearly, his last comrade-in-arms had already been killed...
The last man, in Superman's eyes, was just a moving piece of meat, and what Superman had to do was to let him go again. Ca n't move either...it's too easy...really too easy...

how many supervillains and superman will come up next~? Can you imagine~? The secret association unites all the villains to challenge like Superman. The question is, how many people can withstand the full blow of Superman like Uncle Da? If Superman is going all out from the beginning, and the goal is to kill the opponent, it will be a massacre...

When both sides are fighting for the purpose of killing, can you still tell which side is righteous~?

When all the super villains in the world who harm society are harmonized, in that world, there will be only good people like us and a superman who can't be controlled... What will superman do then~? Will you go back to be Clark~? Nope, Clark was dead long ago, when Superman killed the Atomic Skull, because Clark was Superman, and Superman was Clark, he couldn't kill someone when he took his glasses off and then put them on Afterwards, be a good person as if none of this happened... It's impossible... Superman obeys the law because Clark obeys the law, Superman breaks the law, what's the point of Clark's obeying the law...?

Do you still remember the bottom-line principle of not killing people who was ridiculed~? It's actually not that hard to break it...
Is this what you want~? Is that really true~? A murderous Superman~? A God-punished sanctioner~? There is no law, no judge, no jury, no lawyer, no bottom-line principle, killing or not killing is only between superman's thoughts... Do you call this justice~?
When one day, Superman falls in front of the questioner, just like a scene in another universe, when the questioner is going to give his life for his troubles, who will stop...? In the end the questioner will also be smashed to pieces in an instant, and no one will even know about it... A superman who
crosses the bottom line principle = a superman who can kill = a super villain who will execute in public, will be in public Assassination out of sight = one that will cover it all up = a harmonious society where you look good
pray one day superman won't fall in front of you, one day you'll be a villain, one day...you'll die …

Superman vs. The Elite quotes

  • Pa Kent: Been a lot of talk. Not much it good. Had to put a slap on Ben Farnsworth on account of he said you looked the fool.

    Clark Kent: I did, Pa.

    Pa Kent: They sucker-punched you.

    Clark Kent: Sucker-teleported, technically. So even Smallville's rooting for the Elite.

    Pa Kent: Well, just the loud, angry and stupid.

    Clark Kent: Come on, it's not that simple. I don't think that I make them feel safe anymore. The way I do things.

    Pa Kent: Clark, when people are scared, they have a tendency to hop on a bandwagon before they see who's driving it. But when they wise up, and believe me, they will, what matters is that you'll be there for them. Leading by examples just like always. Truth, justice and the American way. It ain't broke, so don't fix it.

    Clark Kent: Thanks, Pa.

    Pa Kent: Besides, if those knuckleheads don't quit tugging on your cape, you can always kick their self-righteous asses to kingdom come.

  • Atomic Skull: [the Elite arrive] He's sending in the B team? I want the boss, not the interns.
