Heh, only in a comic book could Bats avoid being splattered across the docks from one easy super-speed punch... ;-p Yeah, I know superheroes do it all the time, yadda, yadda, yadda... but I would hope for better writing in this day and age (read: at the very least Bats having a better plan than that...).

I agree. She was able to take John's GL ring without him even noticing and match the Flash's speed but yet Batman can draw out a concealed weapon AND use it on her while she's standing a couple of feet away.. that's pretty bad writing.

lol very true.. the irony of it is that she herself was wondering why no one has killed Bats already, yet she could have killed him twenty times over within a single panel.
