thought was the best thing.
And Hal Jordan ultimately had to
stop this guy who had gone renegade.
So it just set them
on a collision course.
BROWN:
Lex doesn't perceivehimself as a bad person.
He doesn't perceive
himself as anything...
...but the agent of
order and civilization.
You hold the future of the
entire planet in your hands.
- I'm here to take it back.
- Lex?
You'll never threaten the world again.
the way he views the world.
He's right. Superman is an
alien and we shouldn't trust him.
He has a lot of people
on his side today...
...in that I think in the '50s,
during the Eisenhower years...
...the idea of a superman with
all these incredible powers...
...that we can't stop even if we wanted to, but
he's a benign force for good, that's reassuring.
In today's day and age, I don't
know if that's as reassuring.
So the idea that there's a
guy who is a businessman...
...you know, a tycoon who's
looking out for his fellow humans...
...against a threat that actually
can't be contained or controlled...
...I think it really speaks to
I think a lot of people's fears...
...about authority and power today.
NARRATOR:
In modern story......just as it is in fife...
...the choice between right and
wrong often isn't so cut and dry.
Heroes are flawed,
sometimes villains justified.
But it's the villain and
sometimes society itself...
...that further blurs the line.
The same way there's a thin line
between love and hate, to me...
...the best heroes are the ones that
probably act a little villainous.
And the best villains are the ones
that might have martyr complexes.
Where we are in comics right now, we probably
examine the line between good and evil more...
...than ever had been done before.
Batman is always trying to maintain
You know, This is how
my parents were killed.
I'm gonna make sure that
doesn't happen to anybody else. "
He is a guy who's fighting
to not become a bad guy.
Had it not been for the humanizing
anchors of his humanity, Alfred...
...and a few other key
people keeping him in line...
...young Bruce Wayne, traumatized...
...by witnessing the murder of
his parents before his eyes...
...could easily have gone
the dark side of that line.
All I've ever wanted to do is kill him.
A day doesn't go by when I don't
think about subjecting him...
...to every horrendous torture
he's dealt out to others.
And then end him.
But if I do that, if I allow
myself to go down into that place...
...I'll never come back.
There's sort of a power struggle
going on with the villains too.
There's the character that's
sort of more of a gray nature...
...who was originally maybe
intended to be a villain...
...who cleaned up his act a little bit or who
is just so engaging that you like him a lot.
You look at a character like Lobo.
Here's this guy who should not be called
a hero by any stretch of the imagination...
...but he's got just enough
honor, I guess you'd say...
...like, you know, he's a bounty hunter.
If he goes after somebody, for better
or for worse, he'll honor the deal.
And he'll track down
the guy and bring him in.
The appeal of Lobo is just the
over-the-top black comedy and violence...
...I think the character brings.
You know, he's a badass
biker from outer space.
Who doesn't love somebody like that?
GUGGENHEIM:
Deadshot isnice and simple and clear.
He's like a bullet. He goes from point
A to point B and he doesn't waver.
KIRSHEN:
He's got layers to him. He'snot just doing this for the sake of fun.
He's doing it because this is the thing
he's good at. He's good at killing people.
And he only does it for money.
WOLFMAN:
With a character like Deathstroke,I actually did not create him to be a villain.
I created him thinking he was a
character who was morally ambiguous...
...who was doing certain
things for his own reasons.
He was a hunter, he was a
mercenary, he was an assassin...
...but always on a
political, for-hire basis.
And then because his son was trapped by the
H.I.V.E., he was forced into becoming a villain.
He didn't want to be, and no matter how
many times he wants to get out of it...
...he can't because he has
a certain code of ethics...
...that says he promised to
complete his son's mission...
...and he can't stop until he does, even
though he knows it's not his mission...
...and even though he knows it's wrong.
JOHNS:
Amanda Waller is one of thegreatest characters in DC comics.
She is the black ops government
leader of the Suicide Squad...
...the program that recruits supervillains
and forces them to do missions for them.
And she is manipulative, super smart.
DIDIO:
Amanda Waller can only be viewed as abad guy because she makes the tough choices.
That's the reason why.
And what she's doing is she is willing to
sacrifice the individual for the greater good.
a presence in the DC universe.
She's created a Justice League called
the Justice League of America...
...that is designed to take out
the real Justice League if need be.
She's prepared for the worst
because she's experienced the worst.
She has a very clear moral line and whether
you agree with it or not, it doesn't shift.
That's why you'll have that
discussion going back and forth...
...of whether Amanda
Waller is a hero or villain.
NARRATOR:
Heroes typically"I Will not kill. "
"I will uphold the law. "
But just because
villains commit crimes...
...does not mean they are
completely without principles.
There does exist honor among thieves,
even if that honor is warped and twisted.
I don't think you can
generalize about villains...
...the same way as you can generalize
about heroes across the board.
You know, I do think that there are
some villains who have a moral code...
...or have a line that they
personally will not cross.
Two-Face, where he basically lets his
morality be decided by a flip of a coin.
Sinestro certainly has a code of
ethics he thinks he's following.
And in a strange way he is following it.
He believes in the Green Lantern Corps so
much he's willing to be a villain to them.
Allow me to introduce myself.
I am he who is called Ra's al Ghul.
BURNETT:
Ra's al Ghulknows who Batman is.
He can give it away.
He doesn't because there's sort of
a respect that he has for Batman.
And he has this hope that one day
Batman will come to his side...
...so he doesn't
destroy Batman that way.
Specifically, the Rogues, they won't kill
somebody. That's where they draw the line.
They do have their own... It may be a
warped code, but they have their code.
If you go to the Rogues and say,
You have a chance to kill the Flash.
Here's the plan. This is how we're gonna
kill the Flash. We're gonna kill the Flash. "
Captain Cold would be like,
"You're out of your mind.
