They already did with Spiderman secret identity.

The reason this doesn't occur is simply because villains become popular with people reading the comics. It would be a bad strategical move on their part to take away a villain permanently. Think about it; comic sales would drop massively. If you want to go by that logic, Batman should've killed Joker 40 or so years ago. The same goes basically for everybody's villain. If a specific villain goes down for good, then the fans get pissy. It's simply for comic sales. 🙂
Ain't a dummy bruh. I know why.
I just wish they'd show some creativity and TRY to make a plausible resolution to the joker situation.
Even if it was doomed to fail due to character popularity.
Like have Gordon or whoevers the commish currently, turn a blind eye to a plot to get the joker shanked or shot.
Just don't tell me that after he takes over reality, they send him back to Arkham.
Don't give me that.

In truth, it sometimes comes out when going against people who don't read the comics, but only skim forums.
It hurts the debates.
And Flash and GL are hella powerful.
I just don't see them being the deciding factors when taking on Odin and the like. What they bring to the table together though, is hella impressive.And do you see me as anti DC??
Cuz i'd like to think i'm not.Just anti Jobber auras.
And no you're not Anti-DC.

Your level of over-sarcasm sickens me... 😛

Flash and GL are just examples. I could apply that to any DC character. This thread is about overpowered DC characters yet it takes the Big 7 JLA + an extra GL to convincingly beat Surfer on the forum.And no you're not Anti-DC.
Don't forget Thor... 😛

When you have a character like the joker, who took control of reality and wasn't killed after the day was saved, somethings wrong.
When someone like that can kill trillions on a whim, and you decide not to cross a line, you stop being the hero.
Heros don't kill true. Heroes don't kill win millions are at stake?? False.
Fukk Batman for not snapping the Jokers neck after he killed Jason, when if he'd done so, it would've saved countless lives.
If he loved Gotham and its citizens, then he'd make the sacrifice for its greater good. Cuz love is sacrifice.
Batman wont kill joker or any of his villans because if he crosses that line, then in a sense, he is no better than Joker

I agree .... Especially seeing Bats and co are partially responsible for creating monsters like the Joker in the first place. If Bats hadn't got involved, would a swat Team have just killed him years ago ? This is issue that is addressed a lot in the Authority and to a lesser extent in Supreme Power. In Authority they really do not give a **** about the Sanctity of life. Their message is, If U cross the line, we are going to .... the problem is it kills potentially brilliant bad guys. I.e. Benedix ... what his name, in the recent 'Revolutions' arc. He'd give Doom a serious run foir his money, but the guy has been killed twice. It would be a serious barrel scrape to bring him back again.

I like how in one thread, someone says dc's characters are over powered, but in another thread, the jla can't beat silver surfer and thor, but no one is biased against DC on the versus threads, even tho DC is over powered but they can loose to thor and silver surfer. JEEZ
Totally agreed ... Although I doubt that people like that believe both statements, they just state both due their Anti DC beliefs.
They are overpowered. I mean Superman basically has EVERY superpower short of mind control. I mean they had to create a fake rock in order to make him seem beatable. Martian Munhunter is basically Superman WITH mind control. Wonder Woman is basically a female Superman. Flash not only moves faster than the speed of light (even faster than Superman) but he has an infinite mass punch too? Batman even with no powers is written as a guy who can beat ANYONE given enough time to prepare for it. Add in guys like Karate Kid, Black Atom, Green Lantern, Dr. Manhattan, etc. It makes you wonder how can guys with Superhuman EVERYTHING even lose in a fight. Its almost a broken philosophy.

Not to be crass, but... Do you even read these characters?
Also, who the hell is Black Atom?
