Brainiac is a CM, so it is okay to kill him.. even as Superman.. I mean I HATE that Batman saves Joker all the time, it makes Batman seem as crazy as the Joker since the Joker literally HAS to die or his setting will never, ever have a remotely happy ending..

the problem is everybody in comics these days wants to go back to the early 90s extreme stuff, trying desperately to make Superman etc "cool" again.. despite the fact making him an extreme anti-hero actually kills what little popularity he had..

was Superman losing readers? yes.. did making him a homicidal maniac help matters? I doubt it..

people will always mock Superman, what DC seems to forget is many still like him as a character.. they just make fun of how overpowered he is.. his "boy scout" label wasn't the problem, if Superman fans wanted a killer as a hero they wouldn't really be Superman fans.. they'd be Punisher fans.
