I don't know what's more horrifying, my off-hand conspiracy theories coming true, or Tony Daniel's bogus shit. Whoa.
So, basically, what we learn from Tony Daniel: - there are no shades of grey, and mainstream DC's target audience should never kid themselves that there are - there is apparently something wrong with you if you're sympathetic towards a morally ambiguous character? - extensive emotional and psychological trauma? Pffft! He's Evil, it doesn't matter his psyche was probably wrung through a paper shredder! - bad people cant even be good, full stop.
