You know why it's a thing and you know that it's never going to stop being a thing so what's even the point of complaining about it? If you can't accept comic books for what they are, stop reading comic books. Or make your own damn comic book where the villains die constantly.

Meanwhile in the Dick Tracy comic book!
He shoots criminals dead and they stay dead.

>You know why it's a thing and you know that it's never going to stop being a thing
Because the comic book authority forced them? And Marvel/DC readers are man children who will never deviate from what they grew up in the silver age?

The super villains only come back because at the current time the characters are under copyright and held by DC editorial. Wait until the public domain frees these characters and DC will have no choice but to habitually kill off villains because if they don't do it someone ELSE will and make money from it while they get no money.

Wish copyright didn't last so fucking long though. Fuck you Disney and may Bono be burning in Hell.

No, a hero can't kill. The Ten Commandments include "thou shalt not kill", so killing isn't Christian, and you can't be a hero without being Christian. Simple as that.

Anon, you do realize trademarks exist, right?

And that trademarks last forever since they can be constantly renewed.


It is why despite Steamboat Willie being in the public domain there are no movies or shows capitalizing it outside of horror movies (since horror falls under parody laws).

That's because no one seriously gives a fuck about Mickey Mouse in general. For characters that are truly popular like Batman you know someone will try serious efforts when multiple necessary copyrights expire. And many people are starting to adopt a Fuck Corporations attitude so copyrights may be reduced.

And amusing enough trademarks have been proven wrong before the most famous example is the Sherlock Holmes trademark recently when all his books' copyright expired this year. Trademarks aren't the ultimate defense shitty estates and companies think they are. Many of these old fossils their days are numbered.

LOL you do nto know that DC and Marvel literally give trash characters one page cameos becasue if they do not do it every 20 years or so then they will lose the trademark this is why the most based villain in existence the Penny Plunderer shows up in every backdrop every decade or so!

or

?
Because both examples are hilarious in their own way.

God:

See above.

So all Christians are mandatory vegans since eating of animals involves killing the animal right?

OH LOOK
Also that is not in the 10 commandments. Literally a made up christian nonsense they twisted the bible into saying.

Batman used to kill people no problem way back when. The no kill rule was added when comics started being geared towards children later down the line. So nowadays you got people trying to tell "adult" stories about batman but arbitrarily still keeping the no kill rule. So you've got two options: get rid of the no kill you or stop trying to make capeshit for "adults".

You retards keep acting like these are real people who need to make real ethical decisions. These are fictional characters, you autists.
A Batman who goes around killing people would just be The Punisher in a dumb outfit, the no-kill rule is a huge part of his drama and character.
Superman does kill very occasionally, but he's just too strong to really need to, ever.
Superman shouldn't kill Lex Luthor because that would end of the best villains in fiction, limit the number of stories that can be told, and also go against the optimistic and light-hearted nature of most Superman stories.

the no-kill rule was added really early in the comics run, bill finger not only approved of the direction but he retconned away all his earlier instances of killing people
he went so far as to say he wished he thought of it sooner

There's also manga if you hate "no kill" rules in some comics. Quite a few characters die and stay dead in most manga series. In certain manga, however, character deaths don't have as much weight because of certain gimmicks (pic related).

Yep the retarded Comics Code Authority and to this day we drag this shit around despite DC/Marvel pretending that they are le mature now.

BASED BASED BASED.
Literally no one is rioting in the streets that there is not enough killing in Duck Comics. If you want to make silver age sill cape shit stories where the flash fights a guy who can turn himself into a living boomerang go for it, no killing needed.

However if you are trying to make your capeshit mature and for adults and the villains are actually psychos who kill people you start having a massive disconnect and the suspension of disbelief is shattered.

Either make a mature story where the heroes kill or make silly stories for children. Also can DC/Marvel get their shit together? Like they try to have their characters swear however it is always interrupted by the plot. Either make your le mature capeshit have real swearing or do not even try!

Super man *Avoids* killing. He doesn't not kill. He avoids killing because the entire point of his character is to represent hope. Striving for another, better tomorrow. And part of that hope is believing that you don't need to murder niggas to get your way. Superman restrains himself because he's a good person, but is willing to take the gloves off.

Batman doesn't ever kill because he's mentally ill. Bruce's entire worldview is informed by the fact that the murders of his parents must never, ever happen again. He puts these people in arkham because Bruce needs to think there's a way to fix them without murdering them, because he sees himself as no better than them. If he kills the joker, it'd just be another insane man murdering another.
Joker war, despite being a bit of a dogshit arc, did it best. You have the joker who KNOWS he could defuse the bomb, and batman needing to make a choice between chasing Harley, and letting the joker die. It's a more extreme version of the Jason Todd choice. And at the end, Bruce chooses Gotham over Joker, because Joker admits he's choosing his fate by not disarming the bomb.

TL;DR op is a faggot.

It is unreal how hard you are trying to defend retarded stories for man children who pretend they are deep and mature.

Either these writers stop pretending their childish stories are deep and mature and write kids comics or they actually write mature stories.

Not that DC/Marvel are not dogshit where they milk the same characters for 50 decades and nothing is of any importance because it is all retconed all the time.
Other comics did do the hero who kills so did all of manga.

Personally I've always wanted a story about the Joker being killed by some random armed civilians, maybe a security guard or something, in self defense. It would be the funniest way for the Joker to die since he's terrified of the idea of getting done in by some nobody and being forgotten. Makes me think who the various Bat people would react to the news that some guy killed the Joker.
I could see Batman throwing a pathetic tantrum because his favorite mass murdering clown that he wanted to fix was killed. I could also see him being totally fine with it since it was legal and justified self defense, and he would probably offer the guy a job at Wayne Enterprises.
I can see Jason Todd tracking the man down to buy him a drink.

Only for batman.
Daily reminder that everyone can buy a magic joker removal device it is called a gun. The joker literally has insane plot armor because if he was real he would end up dead from some guy shooting him.

Same for Bane (normal guy on steroids)
Killer crock (very strong deformed freak)
The mad hatter (crazy human with no super powers)
Scarecrow (crazy human with no super powers)
The Penguin (gangster with no super powers)

While bizarro is immune to all weapons and kryptonite.
So is metallo.

The more you think the less sense the batman universe makes.

Actually encountering bizarro as a normal human would be the most pants shitting thing imaginable. The only escape is to kill yourself.
