So I kind of just caved and watched a clip from Iron Lung on YouTube because it's still not available on any streaming service I've got. And I came to two realizations. One, Mark does an incredible job of conveying strong emotions of anger and fear. Two, the people who sent Mark's character into the blood ocean might be just the slightest but stupid for giving him something he could easily use as a devastating weapon and not immediately covering or turning it off as soon as they pull him back out.

@Lovell2004 To be fair with how movie ends I know that it wouldn't have made sense but it would've been such a better ending to that movie if like they had it be where where the people had kept word on promise and released Simon from whatever crime he did and dropped all the charges and I'm assuming prevented his prison sentence. 
          	  
          	  Because honestly if you looked at the movie from Simon's perspective they promised him that he would be able to walk free if he had done this one thing and as soon it lead to that being revealed that they weren't going to let him go free and was just basically leave him down there to die basically shows you they promised something to him that he would want lied and fucked him over.

            Understandable, that whole penthouse sequence was hilarious. The following parts stand out to me:
            
            "Bitch, I eat people!"
            
            "What's wrong? You were talking all that good shit a second ago! Then I blew your fucking legs off!"
            
            "When hope is gone. Undo this lock. And send me forth on a moonlit walk."
            
            "It didn't work. It did not work."
            
            "Jesus wants a hug!"
            
            "Look at me, Walter, I'm sucking everyone but you! So INCELebration of your wasted attempts, I'm going to give you the little death you deserve."
            
            "Okay, I know this sounds filthy rich coming from me, but your powers are bullshit!"

Evil Batman Poem.
          The Bat Incident:
          
          "I can see that you shiver even as you stand tall. I can smell the advancing fear on you all. I can taste your blood pumping as you struggle and bawl. I love watching your resolve as it starts to stall. You can shoot, but your bullets just land on the wall. You risk your lives for a boss that won't answer your call. I can tell your ambitions are petty and small. You're just animals and you're destined to fall. You can see the blood-soaked cape that drags down the hall. You can see a pair of soulless eyes that lock on you all. You can kiss your life goodbye as Gordon drops the ball. You can hear the cold laughter as thugs like you crawl. I'm the Bat of Gotham, here to answer Wrath's call. I'm the shadow that spills guts, I'm vendetta's squall. I'm the Devil here to watch as my own demons fall. I'm the monster who's shadow lurks over all."

            True. Plus, in the event of an actual nuclear explosion, he wouldn't just be dealing with uranium. He'd also be dealing with extreme heat and a blast wave capable of leveling a city pretty rapidly.

            I mean, the uranium chamber made him powerless for a while, and he probably would have died if he stayed there longer. Granted, he would have lasted longer than the average human, but I'm not sure if he would have died.
            
            Regardless, I have reason to believe that a nuke is something he should avoid at all costs.

            You know something funny I just realized about The Boys? People are still debating online about whether or not Homelander could survive a nuke, but Soldier Boy actually has way more of a basis for people to make that assumption about him.

          I don't see DC doing this anytime soon, or at least not making an actual full-length story like this, but I still thought the idea would be at least somewhat interesting to discuss. How do you guys think a Utilitarian version of Batman would most likely operate? 

Lovell2004

@M-Doros
            More like a Batman who puts results over principles. Imagine if Batman's main objective was to maximize the health and safety of as many people as possible and cared more about the pursuit of that goal than fighting for traditional forms of justice. Like, for example, he could refuse to kill under normal circumstances because he thinks studying his villains could ultimately help prevent more people from becoming like them later on rather than because he thinks killing inherently makes him just as evil as those he fights.

          My answers:
          
          1: Also Teen Titans. For the same reasons you said, but also because I wouldn't have to worry about Batman developing plans to screw me over on a moments notice on the chance I become a villain. Can entirely blame him for doing that since he both works with and fights literal demigods, but I'd rather not deal with that myself.
          
          2: Also Doctor Doom. He's just generally more stable and reasonable than Green Goblin by far. I mean, he's clearly an egomaniac, but he's not entirely fueled by hatred and actually has the capacity for love.
          
          3: Also leaning towards Pennywise because that comes with the possibility of other Supes and even higher-ups at Vought seeing him lose the fight. Homelander would be an easy kill for Freddy, but everyone watching from the outside would have little to no idea what's going on.
          
          4: Invisibility does sound cool.
          But I'm leaning towards Invulnerability.
          
          5: Same. Kara could serve as the best reminder that he still has some family left after the nuke goes off.
          
          6: I'd most likely die as well, but I think I'd last longer with Vita Carnis since the Alternates from The Mandela Catalogue are just straight-up demons running around with few actual limits.

@Lovell2004 
          1. Be part of the Teen Titans. - Depending on the version, it's a lot more relaxed than the Justice League. Also, they have pizza.
          
          2. Be an enemy to Doctor Doom. - Doom hates Reed Richards the most, so I could be a minor enemy of his that he won't take notice of. Norman would murder me for even looking at him funny in the elevator one time.
          
          3. Send Pennywise/IT after Homelander. - It would be mad funny to see Homelander piss himself without Butcher being there. :]]]]
          
          4. Have Batman's suit turn him invisible. - Wouldn't that just be cool??
          
          5. Have Superman meet Supergirl sooner. - Maybe when Metropolis gets destroyed, she might be able to prevent him from becoming radicalized.
          
          6. I'm not very familiar with either series, but I took one quick look at their premise, and they both seem absolutely horrific. I probably won't survive in either universe.

          I don't know why this idea even popped into my head to begin with, but I thought it'd be fun to post about. What if Homelander's laser vision somehow instantly froze things instead of burning them away?
