Right, slavery would never work because in the DCU because there are no slaves in the DCU America. It would be completely counter-intuitive to how their world works. Yet in that same world...a world with cyborgs, clones, nanites, people coming back from the dead, alien power rings that can heal people, Amazon Purple Rays that can heal people, and a bunch of other stuff...leaving Oracle in a wheelchair makes sense to people, even after so many other characters come back from worse.
Leaving Oracle in her chair, when she wants to walk, when she has access to so many potential cures, when we're supposed to believe she's precisely the person who would know of all those cures, bothers me for the same reason I believe making John Henry Irons a reluctantly submissive would bother most people (myself included), because there's no reason someone with his smarts in his world would put up with such abhorrent treatment.
