    It seems our heroes(except for Supes) don't really want to save the world unless an giant alien comes....

    I like how Batman angrily calls Superman a snoop...
     
    You know...because Batman never snoops around in anybodys business, and he has no idea and respects other characters secret identities.......

    If this takes place earlier (scan doesn't say), it'd be hilarious if this was the incident that prompted him to start making his plans for Tower of Babel.

    Pre-flashpoint Supes must talk to this Supes and use the speech he used on Ion. Y'know, about letting people do the living on their own.

    Batman's point made sense. Flash came off as slightly self-fish.

    Don't see the point to this, but oh well.

    if somebody has the power to make this world better he has to use it. of course if superman decides to solve the world's problems he will have to fight all the people that are maintaing this status quo:governments, politicians and multinationals...and these are not his common enemies. superman thinks to himself as one of us and he respect us even if he is basically a god.

    I have to agree with team. You Can't go into other countries doing what ever you want. Just Becuase you have the power to do it, doesn't mean you should do it.

    I don't know.
     
     
    How would you feel when an alien attacks Earth and Superman saids ''F*ck you guys, you're planet, you're problem.''
     
    I do understand Batman's point...But I also understand Superman's.

    Your point actually makes me think of A Bat divided which was an episode of Brave and the bold where Batman gets split into three different people and they can't decide what the right thing to do is.

    I think that is a gimmick Grant used to show what a hypocrite batman really is. Hey, Batman Inc, ring a bell? Plus, I think superman's idea has nothing wrong. He did it before in a miniseries (illustrated by Alex Ross) and I think it made complete sense for him to do it---helping poor people in other countries by sending them rice that superman planted at his farm as an example. Superman is not interfering anything other than preventing those people from being starving. I don't think there is anything wrong with this. Although at the end of the book the writer did tell us there is some sort of side-effect on this, but I think it's more of a problem from the nature of us human beings ourselves.

    Of course, they can't have the more powerful Jlers take out every crime boss/dictator/solve all world dilemmas, and leave only galactic threats. The characters like Green Arrow, Black Canary and so on would have nothing to do.

    Isn't that what Batman Inc basically is
    Batman doesn't come and say "Hey England here's Knight and Squire, your new protectors because I say so."
    The only thing he does is go with some local heroes he trusts and give them an improvement of equipment and say they are sanctioned by Batman. They are also his operatives to fight Leviathan, not the issues of how a government should or shouldn't deal with their issues.
     
    I think both of them are right and both of them are wrong in some issues. The fact that there's no one who is clearly right tells you how much of a dilemma this is.
