A valid point. The situation reminds of Goku Black in Dragon Ball Super. When GB was introduced fans were "This can't be a future version of Goku, can it!? Goku (who is heavily inspired by Superman) would never turn evil, doing so goes against his core values!" It turned out Goku Black wasn't Goku rather he was a twisted god who hijacked Goku's body for nefarious purposes. GB was a dark mirror cosplay of Goku. Injustice Superman, on the other hand, was Superman after "one bad day", which never sat well with me.
