Does it bother anyone else that they made Stephanie Brown succumb to her torture so easily? She's a really tough character and she isn't even that hurt (she kicks Black Mask's ass next issue). They should've just killed her instead of her looking like the weakest of all Robins by giving up Batman
They wanted to expose how she's the worst Robin
She is the weakest Robin, she was absolutely terrible.
Women have confirmed lower pain tolerance. Her succumbing before any other Robin is a statistical probability. Plus, she was originally just a wannabe-vigilante that Batman took in

She's also the least memorable. I have to constantly remind myself that are have been 5 Robins
I'm more offended by the bad artwork
Was it rape? Please say he raped her. I have a thing about blondes and rape.
>>92678368
People were suggesting that it might've been, based on her provocative positions in the scene
Also straighten yourself up anon
>>92678045
How many years has it been, OP?
>>92678045
Her poor ass must be hurting from all those poundings.
Remember when Black Mask made Catwoman's sister eat her fiance?
And then when Selina showed up she killed his ass?
That was a good run
Spoiler sucks
>>92678518
You know it's hotter when she's raped. And it would fit the scene, weaken her defenses.
everyone involved in War Games is fucking terrible besides Horrocks, he literately quit Big 2 comics because of what they did to Steph
fuck Rucka and all his "feminist" bullshit, its literately just pushing moody alcoholic brunettes as a fetish
DC is the worst
>>92679328
What did Rucka have to do with War Games?
>>92679385
he wrote some issues/was involved in creating it
Creative team
>A. J. Lieberman, Bill Willingham, Andersen Gabrych, Devin Grayson, Dylan Horrocks, Ed Brubaker, Greg Rucka
I've only read Horrocks' work since and nothing of value was lost
>Her debut as Robin was "purely as a trick to play on the readers, that we would fool them into thinking that the big event [War Games] was that Stephanie Brown would become Robin but we knew all along it was a temporary thing, and she was then going to die at the end of this crossover story."
Horrocks

Can't sorry. I'm a black man so rape is engraved into my DNA and culture.
>>92679469
>bait everyone into thinking she's Robin then torture and murder her
Nice
>>92679575
I'm white. So it's rape and genocide for my culture, but she's white too so it's just rape in her case.
>>92679575
What's funny about that is that I'm actually black as well, honest to God
I'm surprised more heroines aren't raped and tortured considering how often they get captured.
>>92680199
I know, it's a disappointment.
>>92680199
To be honest a lot of male heroes would probably get raped a lot too. Like what hardened criminal wouldn't want to shove a pipe up Batman's ass tied up?
>>92681098
Hasn't Batman already been raped a few times? I know Ivy's gotten her hands, and her vines, on him often enough. And then there's the retcon with Talia.
>>92681241
They retconed the date rape? Why?
>>92682374
It wasn't date rape originally.
>>92682411
Oh shit. How'd she force him down?
>>92682449
Help from Ubu. He had next
>>92682473
Hot!
>>92680199
This might be the one positive byproduct of the SJW invasion. I can't stand disempowered female characters being killed/victimized for cheap drama.
>>92682639
I only enjoy it if it's explicit. If it all happens off panel, it loses it's effectiveness.
>>92678045
Poor Steph... Fortunately, that is no longer part of her past...
Though, unfortunately neither did Steph and Cass as batgirl..
>>92678292
Wearing a costume for a week doesn't make you really that character. Stephanie was never a legitimate Robin, she was a ploy to make Tim come back.
>>92682673
It's way more believable when it's explicit. That way you can at least understand how horrible the experience is.
>>92678248
Fuck you guys I've loved Steph since she was Spoiler & I'm proud to admit it.
>>92682763
yes, the only way to do it is to also scar the reader on the horror of the experience, the only way to do that is to show everything. irreversible did it with such efficiency
>>92678368
think about what you're asking.
>attractive girl in latex
>black mask, one of the top honchos of gotham underworld
>torture
i wouldn't be suprised if it's the first thing he ordered
>>92678045
the only reason she's not the weakest of all robins is she's not a real robin
