Yes but they do enforce the law evem if they are outside of it and seem to be bound by the same ideals. Realistically speaking, most heroes, sociologoically would be shut down weeks if not days after their debut. Their unchecked power and collateral damage poses too much of a threat to regular life. Mostly the only heroes you'd ever see if they did exist would be government or corporate sponsored and easily controlled. The "no kill" vigilante landscape in so many hero comics is simply a pipe dream. If you don't think so, take up a skill and start busting some heads in the next few years on the street, get all your friends to try it too. Not trying to insult you, I'm just saying that true sociological or psychological logic does not apply to the nature of superhero comics and their tv spinoffs.
I mean really think about it, it would've saved Gotham a lot of pain, especially Batman, had he just killed the Joker. No philosophy about it, after he racked up his first 1,000 kills and jail and Arkham don't seem to be working, it's time to put this guy down. And the same can be said of many other villains as well.
So now that we've both covered that we're both to stubborn to budge on this issue, can we please move on?
Now that we've officially moved on, I'd like to say I love the Technodrome of the old series. It gives me a nice Kirby vibe, and a little of ol King Kirby goes a long way with me.
I also like to say I love the detail that was brought into designing New York. In subsequent series even the fantastic CGI movie New York could've been Anyplace, USA. The 87 series and movie were pretty much the only ones that tried to realistically convince us of the story's location, and location for a story like this is important.
