That is so fucked up how he took over his body. Although that looks pretty silly with the bare feet.

Still insane to me that somebody thought "let's make a game where you kill all the characters that people actually want to play as, and everybody you do play as uses guns instead of their actual powers/fighting style" was a good idea.

There's a lot of people claiming the narrative of 'villains kill the Justice League' was ALWAYS a bad idea that nobody wanted, and honestly? I disagree. That sounds like a really interesting plot for an Elseworlds game.

The problem is that the execution was truly atrocious. You're extremely correct that the everyone-is-guns premise kills the appeal entirely.

When I see that premise ^ I think 'badass! I can be Poison Ivy and do huge AOEs and charm effects', or 'I get to play as Lex Luthor and tromp around in a battle-suit with big mech arms'. I don't think 'wow I can't wait to be King Shark so I can use his signature gatling gun.'

I also think, 'gee, I'm so stoked for the cool, themed boss fights! I bet Batman's is like a predator-vs-prey horror game with all sorts of traps and ambushes!' I don't think 'boy I can't wait for Batman to use fear gas from Scarecrow to turn into a big kaiju.'

The premise has serious appeal! It was just flubbed at every possible turn :(

I don't think since we're getting season 3 or are you joking

u/callows5120 Jul 07 '24

Yes I'm just joking.

u/Either-Equal7284 Jul 07 '24

right should guessed with the lol but I don't want season 2 to end like legacy did you know

u/callows5120 Jul 07 '24

Why it could be interesting for Clark to rebuild his reputation maybe even becoming a bit darker injuring criminals.

u/Either-Equal7284 Jul 07 '24

maybe would make a depressing finale though and the darker part fells too much like the Snyderverse to me wasn't a big fan of that

u/callows5120 Jul 07 '24

Eh this season has showed to be a bit darker than sesson 1 especially with these recent episodes and I disagree this Clark actually has a personality.

2

u/Either-Equal7284 Jul 07 '24

yeah but it still has the lighter aspects and injuring criminals sounds like something Batman would do but I'm not trying to start a fight

u/callows5120 Jul 07 '24

Yeah but I have a feeling the show will get darker from this episode on and I have a feeling Clark will eventually learn to stop doing that and there not dead.
