“I was surprised because that’s the thesis of Superman for me, that you can’t just have superheroes knock around and have there be no consequences,” says Snyder.

“One of the things I liked was Zack’s idea of showing accountability and the consequences of violence and seeing that there are real people in those buildings,” says Ben Affleck, who plays Batman.

They dealt with this idea in essentially one line in 'Daredevil' about the Kingpin's profits increasing. Now they want to make a whole show out of it

And if they can't even get Superman for the Supergirl show, this joint is about to be on some "Oh - Booster Gold and Elongated Man were here - you just missed them" -

Dead that I'd love to see a booster gold show. I think SyFy was developing one a few years ago

Marvel should hop on Damage Control Inc. on some

This sounds like it could be interesting but I think an even better idea would have been to make a series like the old British sitcom No Heroics that featured lower level heroes just hanging out and being miserable because they are not Batman or Superman level.
