superheroes

The thing is, Superman can't possibly be fighting for "truth, justice and the American way". The America way includes representation and a trial by jury. Superman doesn't do that. He just beats the crap out of people and destroys half a city with each new issue of the comic. Ditto for your other men, Bat-, Spider-, etc. It's not really like self defense, they initiate the fights, it's essentially assault. I mean yeah, they fight crime, but they do so illegally.

Don't get me wrong, I like Batman in particular, no super powers just a fucking crazy rich guy with toys, but how do you just walk into a prison to visit an inmate dressed in a latex/rubber costume? You can't get an ID in the name of "Batman" and technically, all that lurking on rooftops is trespassing, if not breaking and entering. That's not a basis for "truth, justice ad the American way". Plus he always talks in that creepy, mumbly low voice. Between that voice and the B&E, he's kinda like one of those pedophile priests who thinks everything he's doing is just fine.
