Uh, no. The person mentioned confesses.
It's insane.
But true.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

It sure doesn't seem like a mislead.
This is the explanation, as stated by the character: Leslie withheld treatment that would have saved Steph because she (Leslie) had finally had enough of the caped crusader bullshit and so she wanted to make a point to Bruce.
Okay. How many ways is that 100% out of character?
1. She's a DOCTOR -- do the words "Hippocratic oath" mean nothing?
2. Clearly DC Editorial has chosen to forget all of NML, when Leslie risked her own fucking LIFE rather than allow Zsasz to be killed -- so, DC Editorial is saying that she'd protect a serial killer but allow a teenage girl to die?
3. Leslie would NEVER kill someone to make the point that the caped crusader lifestyle is dangerous. NEVER.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Since I haven't read the issue, it's simple enough for me to believe it a bald-faced lie.
So I shall.

Steph, I'd add #4 -- How was that going to work??? It's not just OOC for the action, but to me it looks OOC a) for Batman it really worked or b) for her if she thought it would and it didn't.
Did it work?

Nope. Didn't work.
I mean, Jesus. She knows who he is. She wants him to stop, all she has to do is turn his ass in.

It's stupid.

Plus, even if there were some way that DC Editorial could make me believe that that character would actually do such a thing, the entire run of War Games didn't even HINT at it. And that was a lot of issues of a lot of titles, so DC could have at least planted a tiny hint somewhere.
To do something like that and have it work (though I don't *really* think it could ever have worked, period), the writers have to EARN it. And they didn't.
The way they did it, it's a total asspull. A retconned asspull.
Batman dancing the Batusi would actually be less OOC than this.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
In re: to whitefont. Wow. I mean, that's just ridiculous. I don't even follow the comics, but even as a fan of B:TAS I'm completely boggled and offended that they would pull that crap.

See, this is why I didn't get dragged along into the superhero titles, even with Plei pimping issues to me. I just didn't trust DC Editorial to stick with good writing and characterization. I'm sad to see that they're being complete morons about the story.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Plus? More fun.
