Is it bad that I wish there was a comic on this?

....No

No, Radion. It's some element that New Gods are vulnerable to, like their version of Kryptonite. It's been used a few times, I think its even what Batman shot Darkseid with when he "died". That said, there's no way SS would even know about it, or even think such a weakness existed.

H'el. Too powerful, too versatile. Aside from the weird plot attack near the end of Krypton returns, nothing was ever able to even harm H'el aside from Kryptonite. And even then, being impaled with it didn't take him out.

Nah, that'd take away from the moment of Batman letting innocents die instead of killing Joker

You know, it's not the end of the world if Batman isn't portrayed as infallible

Dark... gritty... people keep using those words. I do not think they mean what they think they mean.

DC movies are not so much dark as they are serious-toned and opposed to being humor-filled with a comedic-toned. Serious =/= dark. A dark genre is a movie that carries a tone which is gloomy, dismal, pessimistic or negative. A serious genre is a movie that is mature, grounded (in a relative sense), sober or moderate. They are not the same, and people need to stop throwing the words "dark" and "gritty" around every time they notice a lack of wisecracks.

Nope, when you die, you're dead. That's why it's called death.

The way I view it is that comparative strength and durability is at a greater scale with superhuman beings than with humans. With normal folks, we can't punch through each other or rip each other apart by sheer tensive strength, but the same rule or standards would not apply to folks that have strength in the multi-megaton range. Invincible relays this really well with the Viltrumites. They're all super strong and invulnerable, but can still punch through one another, rip each other's heads off, tear off limbs or punch through each others guts.

It didn't mean they weren't insanely and superhumanly durable - they were - just that the scaling of strength was simply not relative to human terms. I have zero doubt in my mind that Doomsday could have done the same thing to Supes (being animalistic in nature, I doubt he really would have thought about it), and that Doomsday got ripped in half does nothing negative to my impression of him as a powerful character.
