Have you read Red Son? Where Superman is born in Soviet Russia, ends up taking it over, and implanting brain chips in citizens in order to make them comply?
It was done 20 years ago. And over and over again people have done evil Superman. It’s unbelievably played out. It’s boring.
An evil Batman is more than him taking the best interests of the company, and they’ve actually played with the idea before, though not as much as Clark
One version has him adding drugs to Gotham’s water supply to keep crime down. It was okay I guess.
Long story short, I have entirely too many comic books 😅
Yeah I have. What I meant was something more in line with the golden age comics, to really smack on that MAGA fever dream, and just having supes be classic campy but doing fucked up shit like taking away crates of medicine meant for African children and shit like that. More of an illustration of what our actions would look like if one of those classic american idols carried them out. I feel.like it would paint a stinging picture.
Red Son was pretty close.
Evil Superman is boring and done to death.
Evil Batman is much more suitable for the times
That would just be Bruce Wayne acting in best interest of the company. But yeah the banality of it sounds like a great Jekyll and Mr Hyde thing.
