Purpose of use

Illustration of a specific point within the article.

This image, Deathofsuperman.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Hiding Talk) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

No free alternative can exist given the likeness of the character Superman is a trademark and thus protected;
It is a low resolution copy of an individual panel from a comic book story;
It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the comic book storyline in any way;
Copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the comic book storyline in another comic book;
The image is significant; it represents the death of Superman, a storyline which garnered notable press coverage;
The storyline in question is discussed within the article, thus using this image to identify the issue is thought fair use;

Replaceable?

No free use image available. As these are fictional, copyrighted characters, a freely-licensed alternative could not reasonably be obtained.
