Blame whoever wrote "Alien Sex".
Browsed it at a Barns and Noble. Hilarious section where the "Super sperm" goes through Lois, proceeds on an unstoppable path of destruction being invulnerable to fire, cold, radiation, conventional metals..

Here’s the thing I don’t understand. Power wise, and all overall, Thor with the Odin Force is beyond Odin, whom made the enchantments in the first place. So why doesn’t Thor just I don’t know...make his own enchantment on the hammer?
Odin had complete control over Mjolnir until recently. But Odin has gotten much weaker (No Odinsleep to recharge for years now. Also, he’s a straight old white man), and it was retconned that the MS was inside Mjolnir.
So Odin has trouble because he’s much weaker, and the enchantment is powered by the MS, a high Skyfather level entity that can destroy Galaxiee + Odin’s magic from when he was far more powerful. That’s how I rationalize it.
Which I guess makes sense. But Odin is a cunning sorcerer.
So I guess DC isn't done with the Watchmen-verse?
Rorschach #1
(W) Tom King (CA/A) Jorge Fornes (A) Jae Lee
It's been 35 years since Ozymandias was exposed for dropping a giant telepathic squid on New York City, killing thousands and ending the public's trust in heroes once and for all. The Minutemen are gone; only their memory lives on. Especially the infamy of Rorschach, who has become a cultural icon since Dr. Manhattan turned him to dust. Rorschach may have spoken truth, but he wasn't a hero. So what does it mean when Rorschach reappears as part of a pair of assassins trying to kill the first candidate to oppose President Robert Redford in decades? Follow one determined detective as he walks backward in time, uncovering the identities and motives of the would-be killers, taking him deep into a dark conspiracy of alien invasions, disgraced do-gooders, mystical visions, and yes, comic books. Writer Tom King joins forces with artist Jorge Fornes to explore the mythic qualities of one of the most compelling characters from the bestselling graphic novel of all time, Watchmen.

Where is Odin currently
Long as it's Nu Rorschach.
But do NOT **** with the original. He was by far the best character in Alan Moore's story. The movie completely missed the mark on his last exchange with Manhattan, no way would he have emoted like that. He would have stood firm, just like the character he was based on, Steve Ditko (What, you think he was based on The Question? Noooo... He's all Steve Ditko in his uncompromising Objectivism glory.)
One Batman question.
He doesn't kill, okay. We all get that.
But... why the f*ck Bruce doesn't cripple some of his worst villains? Guys like the Joker?
Would that be breaking his rules, too?
Bullshit --- he's got no qualms about breaking bones or damaging organs when it comes to cannon fodder thugs, who probably could reform, given enough time and the right treatment.

Ok, I might have read a fair amount of Batman, but I haven't read like, all 1000 issues of Detective or anything.
Short Version: Suspension of disbelief, and you don't take joy in beating up people that are legitimately mentally retarded.
Long version (My pov):
Basically though, Batman rarely cripples anyone. And would you honestly expect him to cripple (and by cripple I assume you mean, like, paralyse someone) someone like the Joker? Joker is one of several Batman villains that's legitimately mentally ill. And, as much of a bastard as Batman might be, even he has his limits. You don't beat up the mentally ill when they can't fight back. Or cripple them.
And even with thugs (who, let's be fair, are usually more aware that what they're doing is wrong than say, Harvey Dent is), Batman will break bones, but he won't intentionally ruin your ****ing life.
He holds back less against someone like, say, Bane or Croc, because they can take it. Even Croc, who has legitimate grievances because society basically rejected his attempts to go straight, still gets his shit pushed in pretty harshly when Batman is in the right mindset.
And let's not forget, Batman is mentally ill too.
I have a theory that honestly, the criminals of Gotham fear him even knowing he won't kill them, because he's still a guy that dresses up in a ****ing bat costume and stalks you at night.
Not buying it, Pr.
Especially with all the stories that elaborate on Joker's "condition".
But okay. What about the sane criminals, then?
It doesn't have to be a broken spine causing total paralysis --- it can be anything ranging from severed fingers to limbs, blinding, cut out tongue, ruptured eardrums... which would make them much easier to apprehend once they get out of Arkham or Blackgate again --- something which keeps happening.
