Wow. That post was amazing. Let me ask you, is it okay if I draw an arbitrary line where Black Canary has to stop being an empowered heroine and still stay a damsel in distress, like you drew a line on how cured you thought Oracle should be?
I'd probably draw my line around 80%, so she'd be able to and kick ass for four issues but every fifth one she'd get kidnapped and have to be rescued.
