I would like to see a Superman treatment that addresses the fact that he's not human, by asking whether we want an outside arbiter to deal with all our shit. I think Watchmen wanted to do that, but failed.
Batman's cool, but should be locked up.
I'm not reading the comics. You make it sound like I should be? I wanted to, but am frustrated by only getting a little at a time, and how much they cost.
I think Buffy dealt with this problem twisty ways in the show itself. Sometimes there were moments like this, where it was all so clear. Buffy cannot be above the law: that would be wrong. But it's alright that she's murdering vampires. Murdering vampires is like stepping on cockroaches; it's not above the law, it's just house-keeping.
But Spike proves that's not really true. If these are creatures capable of seeking their own redemption, there's a moral question there, which no one asks, and Buffy stomps all over. Though these are mainly end of S6 and all of S7 problems, and we all know those seasons suck anyway.
