The revised version is that Leslie did treat Stephanie, faked her death so well that BATMAN didn't notice, and embarked on a journey to Africa with Stephanie in order to provide much-needed medical aid to desperate African villages.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569180426066178711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961006065192244756.post-48719207745922433252008-09-22T13:07:00.000-04:002008-09-22T13:07:00.000-04:00Since I also like to write about what I know, and ...Since I also like to write about what I know, and since I know about comics, here's a nightmare scenario that could be permitted if this rule goes into effect:<BR/><BR/>Stephanie Brown (A.K.A. Robin, the Girl Wonder) was tortured, sexually assaulted and critically wounded by Black Mask, one of Batman's lesser-known villains. Barely able to escape and limp to safety, Stephanie sought medical assistance from Dr. Leslie Tompkins, Batman's outside physician and medical advisor. Leslie refused to treat Stephanie's injuries (thus ensuring her death) because she did not believe that saving her was the right thing to do. Instead, Leslie thought that her death would serve as a warning and deterrent to other young women who might be considering a life of crime-fighting. (It failed in this respect. The only teenaged female potential superhero who learned of this tragedy had only a moment's hesitation before deciding to continue down her chosen path.)<BR/>As far-fetched as it may be, something like this could conceivably happen.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569180426066178711noreply@blogger.com
