My preferred dark book ending, suggested by an internet random years ago - the white walkers win.

There is no such thing as left-wing fascism. Fascism is an alliance between the state and capital to crush left wing movements.

A while back, I had a conversation with an older family member, trying to convince her that Obamacare and the ACA were the same thing.

> in one of them after the Joker killed Jason Todd Batman went into isolation for a year and then retired from being a hero, during that year every single supervillain on Earth was killed, top to bottom not a single super-powered badguy anywhere, took the entire book to reveal it, you spend the book thinking it's just…

Yep, exactly this. It all went to shit with Ultimates Vol 3 and never recovered.

Non-lethal means? What ridiculous Magneto-level rube-goldberg machine sort of prison could hold him? If he gets access to a radio *once*, he could kill thousands. His threat level jumped massively.
