Last Fight of a Super Hero

---

Dawn of Justice , and May is set to bring us a massive hero smackdown in the form of Captain America: Movie fights have so far been toned down for the sake of that all-important PG rating, but comics through the years have been subject to no such restrictions. Here are some of the most bone-breaking, tooth-smashing, spine-ripping fights in comic book history. Just to get this one out of the way, Batman and Superman have come to blows a few times during their shared history and tens of thousands of times in angry comic book forums. In terms of sheer brutality?

Not quite as popular due to its meandering plot and bizarre twists, it nonetheless gave us a somewhat more satisfying clash between an older Batman and a Luthor-controlled Superman.

Donning a pair of Kryptonite gauntlets, the Dark Knight lays into the Man of Steel in a brutal fight down in the Batcave, which ends with Superman being beaten to bloody pulp to the rage of fanboys everywhere. The animated film still brought the story to life in spectacular fashion, culminating in a massive battle between the two opposing sides that left pretty much everyone either dead or about to die. Wonder Woman impales Billy Batson, Aquaman has his arm lasered off by Kal-El and is later stabbed in the spine by his former lover, Grifter is turned into an Amazonian pincushion and in the midst of it all, Zoom sadistically beats The Flash to within an inch of his life.

Near the end of the battle we see legions of massacred Amazons and Atlanteans, with two Aqualads and one Aquagirl lying dead, Black Manta suffering from a severe case of being shot in the face and Cyborg dismantled and broken while his heart steadily stops beating. Then Batman shoots Zoom through the head and Captain Atom explodes, dooming most of the world to death by nuclear explosion.

It wasn't a very fun comic. Most people celebrate anniversaries with dinner.

Batman was forced to fight Bane after a drawn-out campaign of exhaustion that left him utterly spent. Not only was the panel itself filled with real agony, it was a bold move to have a long-standing superhero completely defeated and broken enough to retire, supposedly for good. The reason is simple: When a creator needs a reason to bring heroes into conflict, these villains are the lowest-hanging fruit.

Superhero stories work on us, if they work at all, on a primal and emotional level. Mind control stories key directly into one our most essential fears — that of losing ourselves, of feeling helpless, and of surrendering our will to something more powerful than ourselves. Probably the most intrinsically relatable of the devices employed by writers to get heroes into a fight.

A conflict spurred by jealousy feels fundamentally different than the ones previously listed because it comes from character, not plot necessity. One hero stands against another.

In another issue of the Marvel comic Runaways , for example, an evil police detective convinces a team of impressionable super-powered teens to attack heroes Cloak and Dagger by telling them the two have kidnapped a child. The Defending a Friend trope is used effectively in Captain America: Civil War , because the friendship between Cap and Bucky has been established over the course of two previous films.

We know Cap, and we know how much his loyalty to Bucky means to him. When he fights to protect his pal, we understand his inner conflict, but we empathize with his choices. Civil War, the comic series version Image: This reason for superheroes to fight each other is the most abstract, and thus the toughest to pull off.

But if and when a writer succeeds, it's also the most convincing and effective trope: We understand that their convictions about how to achieve that goal are grounded in who they are. But we also appreciate that those convictions stand in direct opposition.

When it works, audiences feel a sense of inevitability, of sheer unstoppable momentum as the heroes speed headlong into conflict. Making this game dark and grim sucked all the air out the story mode.
