I didn't have to go easy on you. A different binding agent, a stronger mix... I want you to remember that. I wanted to remind you to stay out of my way. In all the years to come, in your most private moments, I want you to remember the one man who beat you!

Daily reminder that this was only possible because shoes received a nuke and wasn't able to fully recover due to the atmosphere getting fucked

Maybe but Batman literally takes on a army of Kryptonians later in the comic

we could of had this...it would have done a billion...DC would not be an utter disgrace ...it wouldnt need defending by fucking manchildren who also think the cartoons are good so think Snyder is somehow based...damn what might have been.

>army of kryptonians
In that same comic? What you talking about m8?

maybe even work an arrow inclusion where he stops the awful CW show, ages up and contributes to the final fight. all that great dialogue was already there and written and they wasted their chance

That line was pointless considering Superman was holding back the entire fight.

>holding back
Makes Superman v Goku seem more even a playing field now if they just hold back to match each other’s holding back

Nah, the kryptonite arrow would've still fucked superman badly. Bruce knew that superman wouldn't go all out and kill him because he knows supes is a big dumb boy scout, so he could push supes to the edge whereas all superman would do is arrogantly slap him around a bit and break a couple of bones. Batman is old, angry, and more than willing to be a cheap dirty sonuvabitch because thats what you have to do to beat a demigod.

Superman let him win. Clark knew Bruce REALLY needed this one so he let him have it.

Imagine in mma if you said after you lost you were holding back so the other guys win doesn't really count

Im watching batman v superman for about the 15th time it is really good. Not even meming or a concerned citizen, I like wheelchair man he should have his own movie.

Those fights Superman VS anyone are lame. If Superman wants you dead, then you are dead.

>Superman let him win
Batman knew superman was a big arrogant boy scout who wouldn't take him seriously, so he took nearly full advantage of that and could have killed him with the arrow if he had wanted to.

But that wont happen because Clark is Scout Boy.

No shit, but a big part of being superman is that he doesn't just go around murdering people even tho he could.

This is why Batman vs. Superman is a retarded plot.

Batman acts high and mighty for holding back, but that's how Superman has to treat every aspect of his life, including dealing with petulant shits like Batman.

ITT superman fags flipping the script even though superman got BTFO.

What about supes vs the hulk?
Yeah but take in count that doesn't seems reliable, what of the effect wears off before the planned? Also i remember some thread an user said that in other comic batman recognizes that even a weakened supes cant crush your skull easily, a more permanent solution, like a ring, pendant or brass knuckles would have been better IMO

he's talking about Dark Knight Strikes Again and you have to be as insane as Frank Miller to take it seriously

Naw m8, the plot is ridiculous. Superman holds back the entire fight and constantly tells Batman to end the pointless fighting. Batman basically sucker punches him and starts gloating about it. Bruce must've been suffering from Alzheimer's.

>what of the effect wears off before the planned?
This is comics man, you can what if all day it doesn't really work as an argument. Plus this is batman, the fact is he planned it perfectly like it wanted.
>knuckles or a ring
Having to get close to a demigod to use your trump card seems like a poor plan, plus the kryptonite arrow would allow batman to stand farther away from supes and wait until he was weak enough for batman to btfo. Don't want a desperate superman lashing out and getting lucky.

But that's the WHOLE FUCKING POINT.

Superman is a near invulnerable arrogant dick, and Batman nails with him a cheap shot and holds his life in his hands for a second to remind him to knock that shit off.

Fair enough, but at the first time it just seemed like a plot point made to bring on green arrow to the fight, don't take me wrong I liked the implication of getting his arm ripped off by Superman at some point in the past but it felt a little forced

Just like half the fucking ToP fucking Goku I hate this holding back shit

>>Sup Forums

I'm a batfag but Superman always wins in a fight unless Bruce has kryptonite
arguing who'd win a fight is dumb anyway they work together more often than they fight

>Fair enough, but at the first time it just seemed like a plot point made to bring on green arrow to the fight,
Eh, it probably was but it worked out well

To be fair, Toppo punched his shit in and they didn't know the other universes power

damn, if only DCExtendedversionU had dialogue like this instead of all the stupid and edgy as fuck shit it has

that's the part of Batman's tactic
he knows Superman won't just instantly pulverize him before he even know what happens
so he just went all-out and pulled every dirty trick to make Clark submit

The JL/JLU had some great clips where Bruce and Clark are just hanging out on their off days, like just chilling in the batmobile drinking coffee while the otherse work
Really humanising writing

Supes is reminded of that shit constantly by Lois' life always being threatened.

superman is a dick

>that fucking grin

Is one of supermans powers the ability to pull shit out of his ass?

no, that's batman's superpower

Was he being a bro and didn't know, or a cheeky cunt?

>I didn't have to go easy on you.
Neither did Superman.

But that's not the same, because in that instance superman himself is not threatened, only vulnerable, human Lois lane.

just look at his fucking grin in the last panel, he fucking knew

That art is awful. Looks like some CN flash garbage.

No one beats batman, he is too smart for them.

What BvS did better was to actually make Superman NOT a major jerk.

He did want Batman to win, but not for that reason. He wanted to win to embarrass the President further.

why are batfags the worse people capeshit people?

>Supes' silhouette only broken by that self satisfied grin
Fucking hell, Clarke.

He can't disobey an order. He's too much of a pussy. However what he can do is fight Batman and lose.

...

A couple reasons, for one a lot of them got into comics off of stuff like this so that's what they see Batman as from the start. Another is that Batman, being a "loner" who's smarter than everyone else, is someone they identify with but Superman, being a handsome all american kid, is warped by the fact a lot of those kids in real life were douche bags to the ones who read comics in high school. Plus smaller stuff like the modern obsession with cynicism and Batman being number 2 make him prime targets for pretty shitty people looking for a strong projection. Either way, the result is people who think a NY billionaire purchasing the right to assault a guy from Kansas is cool.

...

Superman has pockets on that thing?

Batman's parents were killed at a Mask of Zorro screening.

Nah, man. Thats why he wears his underwear on the outside. Gotta store shit somewhere.

Returns is Superman taken to his absurd extreme.

BvS is Batman taken to his absurd extreme.

Both heroes are broken without the other to reign them in.

Bit harsh of a joke no? Especially for Supes.
Hey bro, remember that one time when you saw this movie and your parents got shot to death in front of you?
Jesus Kent, only holds back his physical punches apparently

>could've killed him
>if he had wanted to

We are talking about the same faggot who got his spine crunched by a slavic junkie, right? The same faggot who constantly harps on about how much he can best the JL when 100% of them can literally punch a hole clean through his chest before he can even register a thought.

ITT: People with opinions on something that they haven't read.

The same faggot has, and on numerous occasions, beaten each and every one of them, yes.

Through the magical power of plot contrivances and ebid prep time, yes.

Every single one of them can rip his spine through his ass if the writer's took it seriously. Batfaggot should have never have been in the JL. It's like putting a diabetic cop among a bunch of navy SEALs.

>An alien with godlike powers gets defeated by a rich guy with gadgets!

Batman fanboys are truly the worst. I know they have to justify why a regular guy is on a team of superheroes, but comic book writers give the guy too much "power". It's retarded.

Nah, it's more like making Togusa a member of Section 9. As aliens, cyborgs, demigods, etc most of the League members also think and act like aliens, cyborgs, demigods, etc. On top of being the World's Greatest Detective, which on its own makes him invaluable he's also completely human so a necessary bridge between the League and the rest of humanity.

It's shortly after Supes was nuked, Batman discharged all of Gotham's power into his head, Green Arrow shot a Kryptonite arrow at him, and Superman was put so little effort into the fight it was the Kryptonian equivalent of slapping Bruce around. Batman can't reasonably beat Superman but in this case I think it works, especially since he was holding back, as he always is.

I do agree that Batman is really inconsistent with his writing, as bad as the Flash, if not worse, but I think it worked out in this case.

They literally hate Superman for being OP but love Batman

>being a (((detective)) amongst literal gods and aliens with infra-red vision and supersonic hearing
>invaluable

What value does he honestly provide among competition like that? The only reason he actually holds a spot on the team is because soyboys want a "he's just like me!" tier character to relate to. Logically it makes no sense for him to be there.

Superman was holding back, you mongs.

even bruce knows now.

In the anime everyone in the justice league is written as an idiot in order for batman to have a role. Does the manga adaptation suffer from the same problem?

Kinda, after all it is called Batman and the Justice League.

>the anime
>implying there is only one
>the manga adaptation
>implying there is only one manga, or that it is an adaptation instead of the opposite
