      Let's say he's 13-15 by the time the nuke happens, and 18-20 by the time he dies.

      ​@terron7840 Batman won't kill him because of his code. Under the red hood explains this perfectly, once you cross that line, there's no going back. Bruce knows that. Hence why Injustice is what it is, once that line is crossed, game over. you're done. You can't go back.
      Joker won't kill Batman because life without Batman is simply not funny. In the comics when batman has died, Joker has actually turned sane and left crime behind, reintergrating into society as a normal person. Their relationship is between them and them alone. Neither truly wants to be without the other. A lot of comics and adaptations have explored this. Killing Joke is probably the most famous, but Dark Knight returns is a great one too (that tunnel of love scene) as well as Batman Beyond return of the Joker (also why Joker doesn't really care about Bruce's identity).

Saying her name took him back to her death and pissed him off, and gets even more pissed because he probably knows deep down that Shazam is right.

      I feel like the Injustice Two writers didn't play or read the comics for Injustice 1 given all of the inaccuracies, they clearly forgot about the five year time skip even though there's a comic that details every year. I did read an Article about NetherRealm being pissed certain characters got killed off in the comics without telling them. GL in I2 was clearly supposed to be Kyle Rayner given him forming a giant robot during his Super but he was killed by Sinestor in the Arc of the comic everyone seems to forget (Year 3). They Also for got how technologically Advanced the earth had gotten in those five short years. Metropolis had flying cars. Clearly they were setting up the Earth from Judge Dredd since that's what the regime was but somehow weren't able to get the rights. All of the Insurgent heroes in I2 were supposed to be the second generation like Wally, Kyle and so on but Tom Taylor was so interested in connecting Injustice with the main DCU that he kept bring in those characters and killing them off leaving nothing for the I2 writers to work with so they had to let Barry and Hal off the hook.

    10:35 What you describe was the animated film version. In the comic, the scene is bit similar, although Jonathan doesn't die bc he took the super pill. However, just the fact he saw his father being hit by the arrow was enough to trigger Superman and make him kill Ollie.
    By the way, Green Arrow death in the comic wasn't just a simple heat vision on the face. Superman beat him to death, merciless punching Ollie while Martha and Jonathan tried in vain to make her son stop. When he finally did, Clark proceed to just blame Batman, and go on about he won't stop until "ruin his perfect world" which just shows how unstable and disconect from reality Injustice Superman truly is.

      I honestly prefer how they did it I n the movie, because in the comic, it was such an insane overreaction relatively early into Superman’s fall.

If that incident took place like 4 or 5 years Into the regime, maybe it would make more sense, but I'm pretty sure this happens in Year 1 or 2, so Superman just goes ape sh*t on someone who was his friend not too long ago.

    There are some other notes in the dialogue that further dive into who this Superman is, such as him wanting to take the good one’s Lois in their confrontation in Injustice 1, or him grouping thieves with rapists and murderers near the start of 2. Also him working with villains like Sinestro and Black Adam, killing off Green Lanterns in the comics, having a military death squad, and a few assorted pre-fight lines in the games.
    What probably solidifies this Superman not getting a redemption arc is the end of Batman’s ending in the Arcade mode where at the end, despite calling Superman ‘Clark’ all game, he refers to him as ‘Kal’, meaning that not even Batman believes he can be redeemed anymore past that point.

      @@RedCommunistDragon I think the big issue is that with the first Injustice game, we didn't have a good view of exactly what the Injustice universe really WAS. Based off of what we were given, we just had to assume that it was pretty much identical to the main universe, but with the diverging point of Superman killing the Joker.
      But the comics really put a swerve into that, especially with Wonder Woman. She's practically unrecognizable from her original version, and that's because in the Injustice series, they slightly altered her origins: Steve Trevor, her first love and introduction to humanity, turned out to be a Nazi sleeper agent, and she ended up killing him after he betrays her and the Amazons. This in turn made her far more cynical and distrusting about mankind, which would lead to her helping to stoke Clark's worst impulses and leading him further down his dark path into becoming a tyrant who will kill anyone who opposes him. Injustice Wonder Woman is one that can only see the worst in humanity, instead of the one who sees the best in them.
      If you didn't look it up or read the comics, you wouldn't know ANY of that. So it's up to the player / viewer to have to fill in a LOT of gaps to figure out why certain characters pick certain sides, which can make for a pretty messy story.

    The moment he considered flattening cities and invading worlds, that was when he stopped being Superman and became more Ultraman in all but name. But having bad intentions isn’t necessarily the point of no return, I could want to do something really bad but that doesn’t mean I’ll do it, you can morally come back from wanting to do something bad as long as you don’t do it. The moment he even considered killing Shazam though, a child, that was the moment that he fully stopped deserving to wear that S and gave up any chance that he had of ever becoming Superman again. This Superman can still do heroic things but he’s never again going to have another chance of ever becoming a true hero. Even more tragically, Superman himself killed that chance of it happening when he killed Billy. That’s where Supergirl comes in in this story, she’s what Superman once was, what he still could’ve and should’ve been if he didn’t end up making all the wrong choices while wallowing in and being consumed by his grief and his rage. I fully believe regardless of wether he should or shouldn’t be redeemed or wether he even could or couldn’t be redeemed, Superman’s redemption isn’t happening.

    It’s my assumption that the character endings are canon as alternate timelines, and Superman’s ending just fills in the gap between defeating Batman and visiting Supergirl. My idea suggests that this Superman starts visiting the other timelines/endings before eventually arriving at the Batman timeline. Batman has to release Supes from the Phantom Zone and after seeing just how far he would’ve gone, he makes it his mission to right his wrongs and redeem himself. He and the JL go to the Superman timeline and free Kara, at which point they defeat the evil Superman. Good Supes is then offered a choice: kill his evil counterpart or spare him.

But Kingdom Come Superman was able to restrain himself, arrest Joker and let him be put on trial. Magog killed Joker there and when he was hailed as a hero for doing it Superman retired in disgust. This is in contrast to Injustice Superman who ripped a hole in Joker and let Joker have his ultimate victory.

    I feel like they won’t. Because they purposely subverted this expectation in Injustice 2. After he’s let out, and they talk at the old Justice League table, and we see him and Batman working together again, we start to think that maybe he is going to be redeemed, BUT THEN, he goes back to his old ways, and once again, Batman has to take him down and Superman says “even without my powers, I’ll be back”. So, right there, I felt like they purposely did that to show this Superman couldn’t be redeemed.

    I think it is an interesting dynamic I think is the best way to say it to portray a popular comic book hero as a harsh, tough dictator villain. People admire to some degree a variety of comic book heroes and there are many of them out there whom have fought villains with genuis level intelligence, super powered meta humans, evil mutants with various powers, powerful aliens, shape shifting beings, conquerors like Darkseid, Ronan, Thanos, Brainiac, Ultron, Dr. Doom, various mythological gods. Majority of the heroes seem infallible or almost infallible. To have a version where a hero, crosses lines and does something they didn't think they would ever do and the fans who read stories of them gives them a reality check that just as a comic book hero with a lot about them to like can do bad things, so can some of the most smartest, kindest and bravest people on earth today can fall from their own moral ground level. Evil deeds are not reserved for only those, who have been taught for years to be that way or that were mind controlled into doing bad things. Joker told a line that it just takes one really bad day... Injustice Superman's worst day of his life was receiving a special fear toxin that made him believe that he was seeing one of his most dangerous enemies only to end up killing Lois and their unborn child thinking he was protecting Lois and the world.

    The thing about Injustice Superman is that he tries to justify his actions by saying that they will prevent another tragedy like the one that hit Metropolis from happening. Yet, in that moment, he was ordering the destruction of not just Metropolis but Gotham as well. He was willing to see two cities destroyed, one of which whose previous destruction is his motivation, simply because he didn't like what people were saying about him on top of taking over another world.
    I often point this out when discussing Wonder Woman and Harley. Harley was involved with the deaths of millions in Metropolis, but in the Injustice timeline she's seen the error of her ways and is attempting to better herself. The only thing that stopped Injustice Wonder Woman from helping Superman top Joker's high score is the fact a Justice League from another world was there to stop them. When subjected to fear toxic, Harley's greatest fear was going back to who she used to be while Wonder Woman's was acknowledging what she had done to Clark before going right back to who she was before that. What happened to Wonder Woman there is the very thing Harley herself was most afraid of.
    Not to mention, Superman's actions where what drew Brainiac to Earth in the first place. So, in a way, his methods led to the events of Injustice 2 happening.

    You should check out the comic where the Johnathan Kent of another universe, gets caught up in the Injustice universe and has a confrontation with Superman who is his father in another universe, and after learning all that has happened in that world in just a matter of hours, he doesn't try to fight what would be his dad in that universe, he just says that he's disappointed and sad that things turned out the way they did, and then gives that Superman a well deserved hug, and that simple action actually made Superman emotional and he was rethinking things for a bit, but that was until Cyborg interfered and sent John back to his own Earth, basically ruining any chances that he was going to redeem himself, because the true villains in Injustice isn't Superman alone, its the dumb regime that keeps him in check, since evil people like that version of Wonder Woman are the ones that keep influencing that Superman to be evil, so it basically comes down to the company that he keeps in that continuity, as Batman turned his back on him, his right hand woman is evil, and everyone else is basically too scared to do anything and blindly obey.
    Its funny to think that an outsider who was in that world for just hours, almost saved the world not by fighting or arguing, but for being loving and compassionate, two of the things that almost everyone from the Injustice universe appear to be incapable of being.
    TLDR Injustice Superman isn't evil, he was made evil and they keep him in check.

    In the He-Man crossover, it follows up on the bad ending; Superman (presumably) demolished Metropolis to make an example, all the villains are under mind control and now patrol the planet assaulting anyone for even thinking wrong, and he even tries to gain control of reality (I think) to take it over. In the end, even He-Man, another character much like Shazam, recognized there was no salvation for this guy and death was the only true way of stopping the madness for both Earth's and Superman's sake.

    This is a hot take and is off topic but hear me out, Harley Quinn literally got off easy after help orchestrating creating evil superman as well as caused the death and destruction of metropolis.
    I understand Harley was manipulated by the Joker but that comes across as taking away someones autonomy, agency and free will.
    Sure she feels guilt for what she's done but no one scold her, judge her by her actions, no one is like "I will never forgive nor forget what you've done"
    Batman's team is all buddy buddy with her which is weird when you think about it.
    I still find it wild that Batman would let Harley Join his team regardless whether she's trying to change or not If I was sups I'd be pressed AF, imagine your former friend(s) working with the same person who not only helped kill millions but kill your wife and unborn child.
    Even in the animated movie when sups said he deserved death Bats was like "you don't get off that easy" like WHAT??? you let an domestic terrorist on your team and act like shit is sweet.😂😂

    This is why I liked some of the "Injustice" movie parts. They have stuff like "The magic community leaving the Justice League", "Wonder Woman being horrified at Superman killing children and eventually turns on him", and "Superman surrendering instead of needing to fight him down".
    The movie definitely had bad points, having Flash die a stupid death and letting Amazo wipe out both Hawkman and Cyborg. But I found it a more reasonable story then the OG injustice, which was literally "The world's strongest heroes become villains" but they had them jump years ahead and then retcon the whole story to fit the game.

  • @Justmyhandle
    @Justmyhandle 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    *The closest Injustice Superman could ever come to redemption in my opinion would be something like this:*
    *A)* He must admit he was wrong, that his plan was never going to fit the vision he wanted and his ideology was never truly driven by believing he was just. It was his fear of losing anyone or anything important to him after Lois & his unborn child. Perhaps he'd somehow have a vision of Lois and Pa Kent, telling them all that's transpired since their deaths.
    Whatever the circumstances, Clark comes to realize on his own that, while he has no remorse for killing Joker and still sees that as something that should've been done long ago, he did go too far. He regrets how his actions harmed and endangered innocents. He's haunted by murdering Shazam, betraying Kara, and turning his closest friends against him.
    He wishes he'd listened to his Pa and stopped this madness masquerading as necessity sooner. He's so far gone after all the killing and mental anguish that he doesn't recognize himself anymore. He doesn't even remember how hope feels. Most of all, he regrets destroying humanity's trust in him forever when he only ever wanted to protect and help them.
    Sobbing like a child, he confesses that he lost faith in people. It was easier trying to force them on a path he chose than believing in their potential and leaving them freedom to choose to better themselves. He was supposed to set an example, keeping the faith that his heroism would always inspire good in the end. But it's not too late to believe again.
    *B)* He dies in a great sacrifice, giving his life to directly contribute in defeating the saga's final villain (I'd go for Darkseid). Multiple Justice Leaguers/Regimers would die, including Wonder Woman, but Clark's death is built up the most. Survivors around the world watch him go out in a blaze of glory. It's thanks to him that Batman & company save Earth.
    It would be a massive final battle where every surviving hero, anti-hero, and villain from the beginning of the Injustice Saga to now would participate in some capacity. In his final moments, Clark bids Bruce farewell, knowing his apology at this point would mean little-nothing but giving it anyway. He knows he won't be reunited with his family after all he's done.
    He accepts that he deserves damnation. But he hopes (feeling hope for the first time in years) that, in time, the world he loves will recover, heal from the pain he caused, and begin to believe in heroes again. Humanity's divided over whether to remember Clark as the hero he was or the tyrant he became. Batman believes they should remember both, not only to understand how Superman's fall from grace happened but learn from it and teach this dark history to future generations.
    *C)* The ending could move forward to sometime in the future, when new heroes are emerging and Earth is relatively peaceful for the time being (partially out of fear that too many conflicts could give rise to another Regime). The scars left by Clark's reign are far from fading, but the world is slowly improving. On a beautiful day, Bruce visits Joker's grave.
    In his last words to the villain (in his mind), Bruce tells his old nemesis "You didn't get the last laugh after all." He may have succeeded at making Superman lose control, being indirectly responsible for all that followed. But the world will go on. Humanity will persevere, and someone will always exist to carry on the hope the Justice League once stood for. Bruce will make sure of it. Fear didn't win. Chaos didn't win. Joker did NOT win. And, as long as Batman has a say, he never will.

    He does the best he can and has lines he won't cross, what's the governments excuse? The police's? Hell what stops anyone in the JL from dealing with the issue, anyone mentally stable?
    He's the dark paragon of justice, ever hopeful that criminals can be redeemed even the worst of them. Brilliantly written imo
