Heroes fought against bad guys and won.

Sometimes, heroes teamed up with other heroes, and

together they fought against bad guys and won.

Sometimes bad guys turned out to be good.

And sometimes heroes turned out to be bad.

But by and large, there was harmony in the heroverse:

Superheroes only fought bad guys.

LIKE ALL THE SUPERHERO FIGHTS

IN THIS LIST, THIS ONE HINGES

ON AN IDEOLOGICAL QUESTION.

SPIDEY IS A GOOD GUY WHO

DOESN'T KILL. WOLVERINE

DOES.

S P I D E R M A N V .W O L V E R I N E ,

S P I D E R - M A N V S .W O L V E R I N E

WOLVERINE PUSHES SPIDER-

MAN TO KILL HIM, AND

ALTHOUGH WE REALIZE

THAT SPIDEY COULD EASILY

DO SO, HE DOES NOT.

*FINGER SNAPS*

TO REGISTER OR NOT TO

REGISTER? THAT IS THE

QUESTION. BUT IT ALSO

SPEAKS TO SO MUCH MORE.

LIKE A LOT OF THE GREAT

SUPER HERO QUESTIONS, THIS

ONE WAS APPROACHED IN

WATCHMAN, BUT IN MARVEL

CIVIL WAR, THIS QUESTION

RECEIVES AN UNPARALLELED

DEGREE OF FOCUS.

YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WILL

ABOUT THE MOVIE. YOU CAN

TRY TO TELL ME THAT THE

ACTION OF THIS BATTLE IS

UNDERWHELMING. BUT IT’S

THE IDEOLOGICAL BATTLE AT

THE CENTER OF THIS DUEL

THAT’S SO APPEALING TO ME.

D A R K K N I G H TR E T U R N S # 4

BATMAN AND SUPERMAN ARE

ARGUABLY THE TWO MOST

REPUTED SUPERHEROES IN THE

DC WORLD. BOTH OF THEM

PREMIERED IN WITHIN A YEAR

OF ONE ANOTHER BETWEEN

1938 AND 1939.

B A T M A N V S .S U P E R M A N

D A R K K N I G H TR E T U R N S # 4

SUPERMAN BREAKS THE

BOUNDARIES OF WHAT IT

MEANS TO BE HUMAN. BATMAN

IS GLARINGLY STUCK WITHIN

THE MIRES OF HUMANITY.

AND FRANK MILLER HAS THEM

FIGHT EACH OTHER TO THE

ALMOST-DEATH.
