Change them to butterflies and you might as well just kill them. That type of stuff just gets you into the morally ambiguous mindwiping stuff DC is dealing with.
Yer that is what i was thinking aswell but if your gaan put them in prison or suspended animation what is the difference really and it is better then killing. To me if heroes began to kill they are no different to the villains they kill.
Not all deserve to die. A man like Victor Fries doesn't. But, when you kill tons and tons of people, I think its safer to kill the villain than to let them kill more people, cause you know they will. Joker for instance. If Batman offed him, he would be doing Gotham one hell of a justice.
I would say yes, the police officer is no better. Is he going to prison as well? is the Police officer going to be accountable for his crimes? The Police officer has killed, just like the criminal. I see no difference between the two. The police officer made a decision to become what he sought to protect the world from. He is responsible for a persons death.
Just cos im a fan of a FICTIONAL character, doesn't mean I agree with his values in real life
True.
True.
That's only a matter of definition.
Yes there is. A big difference actually.
It's a dirty job but somebody's got to do it.
It solves potential future problems.
The villain doesn't care, as soon as he can, he'll murder again.
Those are words. Nothing more. I respect your opinion but it's not as simple as you think.

please explain the difference to me as I would like to know. the only possible difference I see is their original intentions, but both parties ended up killing in the end.
says who? you?
So the end justifys the means does it? What about long term ramifications? Its a way of introducing society to the wonderful world of degrading moral values and increasing violence, by introducing new killers, sugar coated as heroes.
so there is the line. Do we rise above his twisted, depraved emotions and imprison him, or do we cross the line and become just like him, a killer?
Its only as simple as you say so. We as humans have the amazing ability to shift the blame, work or anything hard onto another person. We can do it by over complicating things. We get good at it. Its not a good thing.
Killing isn't the best choice in the world, but at some point, there are a small ammount of choices. Maybe Wonder Woman shouldn't have killed Max Lord, maybe so, that's up to opinion. I, personally, think she was right to do so at the time. At that point, he had full control over the most powerful being on the planet, and always would as long as he was alive. Now, I don't know about you, but for some to have power over a living weapon of mass destruction is an extremely frightening thought. At that point, WW made a judgement call. She could've allowed him to live, inprision him, incapacitate him, etc., but that would still leave the very high chance of him escaping and threatening every life in the world with Superman once again. Was what she did right? Can't say, everyone will see their own side of it. But, you can't deny the fact that she may have saved millions with that one act, whether it was right or wrong.
