  1. My take is he was getting closer to revealing every day, every year. He realized he wasn't hit, but the emotional turmoil prior made him slow on his super senses. Kal-El is still an orphan and a farmboy. He isn't made of steel, emotionally. Also, to address the ease at which ANYONE could tell he's Superman wearing glasses, I say all Kryptonians have a degree of telepathy as well, and when he puts the glasses on, slumps his shoulders, acts meek, he also causes a visual hallucination in those around him when he is purposely acting like a milksop. A Kryptonian "acting" a role is convincing because the mindset they put themselves into affects mere mortal minds. So, in their visual perception, really their frail human brains, he appears shorter, chubbier. But once he purposely takes his glasses off, he stops the charade, reverts to powerful self confidence, and humans see an actual superior being before them. Remember when he was split into good and evil and fought himself? Kryptonians are essentially gods or angels and have way more powers than strength, flight. In Greek Mythology, mortals sometimes tricked or seduced immortals. In fact, I like the idea of many deities, such as the Greek Gods being Kryptonian offshoots, and that would make Wonder Woman, a cousin of Krypton. And they should bang.

  2. I always thought that was another super power of his, super-conscientousness.

  3. Batman operates outside the Law and doesn't possess superpowers. If he was a vigilante who often killed criminals, he would not have a working relationship with Gotham PD, who were against, then for, and now against again. The Joker was his nemesis and between,them it was personal. Bruce struggled and certainly came close to killing him several times. In The Killing Joke, he was ready to kill the Joker. Gordon said no. In Death In The Family, he was interrupted by Superman. Batman could not afford to just kill criminals whenever and be tolerated by law enforcement agencies and the likes of Super men. But, yes, the Joker deserved to die, and Batman felt torment over not killing him. But remember the Joker lay dormant for years, in this particular alternate future. Frank Miller, for all his faults crafted the perfect story, only surpassed by The Killing Joke.

  4. T FP Actually, great metaphor.,Batman trains hard, renounces his humanity to become a superior being, but the Joker operates off the crazed one-time only madman strength of strong emotion. The Joker doesn't train. He is never weary. Batman enters the fight tired, which gives them a more equal status.

  5. Phoenix7786 Yeah, as designed. Miller was a double threat being able to craft this story and draw it well.

  6. The Joker in comics had a bisexual vibe and certainly loved Batman in that he gave the Joker purpose. Random victims and acts of terrorism weren't enough. Batman choosing to sublimate his anti-social anger and broken psyche into a GOOD cause was something for the Joker to destroy, thus proving his theory that one bad day van turn you evil/ insane and that life has no meaning. The Joker loved and hated Batman. It was a similar relationship to Lucifer and Jesus. The Devil trying to convince that God must be disobeyed, for He is not Good. And the hero, Jesus, Batman, etc, suffering incredibly by not giving into temptation.
