>>102230387Well, that's actually an interesting point, kudos. I suppose if this sort of attitude was kept in Beyond, it would have just been part of the process, the same kinda shit that's beleaguered not just the heroes, but the setting as a whole.
But it was present in *many* places in the DCAU, which honestly made me feel that this whole "anti-outcast/freak/nerd" deal I'm harping on was an onion being pushed and hammered by writers who worked on multiple series through the continuity.
Hell, Dr. Dream is presented as a prison trustee, his wife tells him they're through during a visit and he throws away *everything* he's worked for up to that point to go on a power grabbing revenge fest. A shrewish wife ruined that nebbish guy who invented time travel and look at *all the shit* he caused.
