I totally agree with you concerning how forgiving superheroes can be! I mean, this is absolutely no weirder than Bruce forgiving Hal Jordan for the whole Parallax thing. The only difference is that this happened off screen. And as I mentioned up thread, we'll probably see more of this later. Lobdell seems to like employing in media res narration. I think that if we get a long enough story from him, we'll get the expanded, developed narrative that so many people seem to think is lacking.
