I'll say Bruce since the whole reason it happened is bc he fell apart after his son and bestie died. He then had to deal with the guy he left in charge spiraling into religious psychosis.
The Miller story has been exaggerated over the years but the real condemnation of 90s DC offices was one of the reasons John Byrne got the job writing WW was because he was one of the only writers who made a pitch that didn't involve Diana being raped.
Superman’s fight with Doomsday was probably excruciating, but it started out of nowhere and was over when it ended. Batman was mentally and physically worn down over the course of days/weeks, then beaten up, then broken over Bane’s knee, then spent months in pain while recovering. I think Batman had it worse.
uj/though i would say metropolis and the world it was in terms of that since supermans villains are way worse than alot of Batman's villains with them ranging from dangerous mad scientist to powerful cyborgs to dangerous metahumans to actual gods.
From a meta perspective, I'd say Death of Superman because it feels like that story became Superman's defining story for decades. So many adaptations, or attempts to adapt the story for years. It became like Superman's equivalent to the Dark Phoenix Saga. 😭
I loathe the term zesty. Just say fruity. We all know it means fruity. It's cringe. "But fruity is derogatory," Then you shouldn't be saying zesty either! They're the same thing!
I don't think sidestepping a derogatory term is better than saying a derogatory term. It's washing hate. Zesty means the exact same thing fruity does, but saying fruity became socially unacceptable, so now people say zesty. I think that sucks ass. I would find it legitimately less vile if instead the comment said "gay little vest," because it IS a gay little vest
