Batman's not naive, just slavishly devoted to his "thou shalt not kill" ideals and takes a dim view of anyone who falls short of that standard, no matter what. That's why I had no problem with Bats souring on Diana in the aftermath of this. Being a judgmental dick is what he does.
What I had a problem with is Superman and the entire world turning on her. Supes was at ground zero for this (Hell, he was ground zero). He knew the choice Diana was up against and he still gave her shit for it, as if she took the "easy" way. And for a world that near-universally loved her to near-universally hate her? Nobody giving her the benefit of the doubt? Bullshit on that.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
