    Why does he look less like he’s going into a fight and more like he’s doing a dance number

    Also he murders the mutant leader? What is this comic even?

      He also kills the Joker. And Superman kills him, under orders from Ronald Reagan It’s a very dark take.

        spoiler

        He didn’t kill the Joker. It’s a pretty important plot point that despite psyching himself up to finally do it, he’s still unable and the Joker somehow finishes off his neck break and taunts him that even though he couldn’t do it, everyone will think he did.

            It’s 38. And it doesn’t cost me anything to mark spoilers. If one person who hasn’t read it is spared being spoiled then it was worth it. If not, it only took 5 seconds.

        Superman also doesn’t kill him, he faked his death and superman figured out at the end, but decided to ignore it.

          that’s just semantics. they fought, batman died (literally, according to some definitions of death), superman believed he had caused it - as he intended. Superman killed Batman.

      He didn’t kill the mutant leader, but his thorough takedown of him destroyed the Mutants as a group.
