But. Every superhero - every superhero - is extralegal. The Commissioner may call Batman with the Bat Signal, but Batman is utterly divorced from due process. He needs no warrants. He need not adhere to rules of engagement. And he is always called in when the police are helpless. You can extend that on down to James Bond - "license to kill" is a shitty fucking thing to grant someone. And there's always some supervillain that exceeds due process' ability to deal with the adversary. It's interesting that the same people that will rail against warrantless surveillance and drone strikes will chomp down on popcorn while watching the Dark Knight or James Bond or fuck - Mr. Incredible.
