Nightwing: Dick and other Cringeworthy Comicbook Moments
Warning for nudity, sexism, racism and a horrible instant of "slut shaming".
From the second Nightwing Annual from 2007, here's Dick and Babara's first meeting following the events of the Killing Joke.
Shouldn't the kissing panel me more "Mfffffhhhhh" than "shh"?
Jennifer Walters at the receiving end of one of the worst "slut shamings" in Marvel comicbooks.
Context: the Leader is arguing that gamma radiation poisoning makes people not responsible for their actions, which is the logic used to excuse Dr Banner for the Hulk's frequent rampages, so legally his megalomaniac tendencies aren't his fault either. As more evidence of this, he has his lawyer bring up a full list of the people Jennifer slept with as She-Hulk versus ones as herself to be entered as evidence of how gamma radiation effects her judgement, or something.
Legal explanation or not, it still seems to be as about as liable in court as that time in Veronica Mars where a defence lawyer uses Mars' confidential medical records to damage her statement.
Wonder Woman had the patience of a saint in the old days...
Come to think of it, so must have Sue...
And Kathy Kane...
The Beast appears to be either a master of sarcasm, or he's trying to spare Jean's feelings.
Oh, Billy, no! Bad idea! Bad idea! No stop!
*facepalm* Editors, you're not helping!
Up Next, depending on if it's in the public domain, I'll be analysing this,
It's a terrible comic both in ways that should be obvious, and ways that aren't.
If it's not in the public domain, I'll be doing a special on Jack Chick instead.

But there's not only *one* way to be a grieving widow. I get the point that the prosecution is trying to make, but I don't personally agree that it's a legitimate one. It just carries too many culturally biased assumptions about the nature of grief, marriage, and female sexuality.
the truth of the matter is lawyers can take something innocuous and make it into something positive or negative.
I know. I just think it tends to cater to prejudice rather than truth. I think the whole adversarial system is pretty fucked up, honestly.
