MATCH AND SUPERBOY

cuz current match isnt a dark reflection

current match is in a different situation
hes honestly more of a reflection of a different time
the slightly angrier kon-el/conner times (although he was not always angry in the black shirt there was times he was) match right now is in the situation conner is constantly pushed back into where he doesnt feel worthy and doesnt know where he belongs
because he learned hes a clone of a clone
match wants to be perfect like he assumes the person hes cloned from is and is sad because he thinks being a clone might make him less worthy of existing than his original

or at least thats my take on match

Well obviously all the evil supermen.


And do villains count? Because if so I would throw in General Zod.

villains typically are the dark reflections
although i think injustice superman really is just a highly out of character superman opposed to a dark reflection

but i know nothing about ultraman besides the mafia boss one from the animated film

True True.

Which villain of the Batman rogues gallery would you consider to be a dark reflection of Batman. I’ve thought about it but I’m honestly not quite sure there is one.

thats really hard to pin down and i would not be an expert on that i just think owlman in the crisis on two earths movie works well

Mafia boss is an accurate description.

I don’t know if it counts (because not sure if she counts as part of the rogues gallery) but I think Phantasm would also be a good choice

Outside of the rogues gallery we can’t forget about Flashpoint Batman
