"Plus we're an unelected judge, jury and executioner"

Which continuity is this? Batman and Superman mostly beat people up and drop them off for the authorities, you could make a valid argument about whether it's their right to use violence at all but they're generally not acting like judges or juries at all, and definitely not executioners unless it's some weird offshoot story.

Executioners don't just execute the death penalty, historically.

They didn't just beat people up, though, right?

Eh . . . depends. Ever read the WikiPedia page on Hanged, drawn, and quartered?
