Line 239:
** Batman has flat out goaded Superman to abandon his humanity and take over the world with Lara. [[Beware the Superman|What was he thinking?]]
* During ''[[Batman|A Death In The Family]]'', the Joker makes a visit to the Middle East and Africa to wreak havoc and ends up killing Jason Todd. The worst part of the storyline is what happens later; a man with the likeness of Ayatollah Khomeini appoints the Joker as Iran's UN Ambassador, thus granting him Diplomatic Immunity. Granted, it was 1989, and this particular method of painting countries evil has been in use since [[World War II]]; but the idea of ANY world leader in their right mind making the [[Axe Crazy|Jo]][[Monster Clown|ker]] an official diplomat with official diplomatic immunity is, um, insane.
** The idea that any world leader in their right mind would attack the embassy of a country capable of removing their own nation from the map and hold its personnel hostage for over 400 days is also insane, but Khomeini did that shit in real life so apparently he sorta ''was''.
* ''[[Cry for Justice]]'' #7 and its aftermath. ''To expand'', the death of Lian Harper, Roy Harper's young daughter. Killed off for no reason in a particularly brutal example of [[Stuffed Into the Fridge]].
** Somehow, it's getting worse. It seems that they're using Lian's death to [[Character Derailment|derail]] Roy Harper from a stable, well adjusted single father into a [[wangst]]y drug addict who sinks to using Black Canary's infertility as a point to lash out at her <ref>which in fact is a [[Series Continuity Error]] since Dinah's infertility was cured when she took a dip in a Lazarus Pit a few years back when she was dating Ra's Al Ghul, which just shows how poorly the series was researched</ref> calling Donna Troy a whore and blaming her for ''her'' family's death, and blaming Mia for Lian's death. It sends several decades' worth of [[Character Development]] down the drain to make some half-assed Punisher clone out of Roy.
