Nah, that greatly depends on the universe. For an example of handling it badly, watch ... basically any of the DC universe live-action movies.
They're so bad that Batman regularly mercs people. Y'know, Batman. The guy who canonically takes issue with killing even violent terrorists actively killing others, let alone Security Guard #28201...
Superman gets thrown through buildings, uses laser eyes through buildings, etc, etc, and I shouldn't have to explain how Superman also takes issue with harming at least innocents. They might mention it, but then go on to have the city fight anyways with virtually none of their fighting actions indicating any reluctance...
I do NOT give them points for adding a throwaway line of, "You big meanie! We shouldn't fight in the city!"
I’m vaguely aware of that, but that’s also why I never really lined up for Zack Snyder movies on release. He has a uniquely ignorant take on those heroes.
I don't know if I'd call him ignorant (maybe willingly so) but more of the typical Hollywood dudebro that likes spectacle more than ... basic logic. Such a terrible lot of "creators"...
But Snyder is an artiste! 🙄😒
