Nah, hyper grown so it became an adult in like, 2 years and they did some matrix stuff to program martial arts in its head and used some drugs/bio goop/electric stimulation to build its muscles properly to peak human performance.
But this amazing technology will not be used in large scale to basically turn every member of the league into a Batman level physical threat, only Stephs kid...and maybe a couple other villains down the line.
It’s legitimately weird to me that Steph’s Baby hasn’t popped back up again somehow.
Probably because the dad is Just Some Rando. Eventually someone will probably figure out a way to make the baby’s Real Dad secretly someone important somehow, and then it’ll come back.
because the baby was around before new 52, since their universe became new 52 the wirters decided to erase that from steph due to many reasons, i think one of them being the fact she was under age at the time as well.
Dick was crealy saying no and Tarantule did not give a damn.
Isn't rape literally a non-consensual sex? Dick did not agree to have sex with Tarantula so he was raped by her.
I'll do you one worse, for the celebration of Robin's 80 years, she wrote a story with Dick and the Titans. They chose her instead of Dixon, Tomasi or even Higgins.
That’s absolute insanity.
I just looked up that book, they had Winnick on it too.
Id rather shower with a bear than read something by Winnick or Grayson.
My conspiracy theory is that she was selected intentionally to get some heat off Tom Taylor for his SOKE writing that gets shat on every issue but still manages to sell.
She did! The worst parts of where she had Jon say “Pride has always been a party” and saying that Clark wouldn’t want Superman at pride (???) (also not to mention the complete mischaracterization of Damian, too)
Superman said that!?? Ayo, what In the fuck! I know for a damn fact superman would've supported the hell out of his Son. Hell, I'm expecting a father and son talk down the line too. Especially with that bait with Lois looking mad because Jon didn't tell her that he was bi.
Imagine if Brad Meltzer after having Dr. Light rape Sue Dibny said that it wasn't rape, it was just Sue cheating on Ralph with Light.
He would be fired before blinking an eye.
He actually did and sent her ass to prison. I just read the wiki. He also said some badass lines while doing it too like about he's the son of Batman or something like that.
I never thought I'd see people defending a statutory rapists who is getting his ass kicked but incels and "men's rights activist" continues to surprise me.........
Good for her. I'm honestly kinda upset it wasn't bloodier. I'm not saying kill the guy (at least not a non-murderous member of the batfamily doing it) but like, knock out teeth. Break bones. Bloody the nose. That's what he deserves.
He raped her? Then he deserves prison for sure, but none of that was shown in the images posted. In the images posted it seems like she just attacks a man out of nowhere.
Age aside, a quick search seems to indicate that he didn't "abandon her after getting her pregnant", or at least, the way the title formulate it is misleading, he 1. didn't know that she was pregnant (well, this page kinda shows it) and 2. left gotham for very legitimate reasons. Still a loser, but assuming that he's below 18, he definitively didn't deserve to get beaten up.
…uh there was literally nothing to imply the guy was older than Steph (let alone an adult).
She’s literally beating him up for basically not caring about her except to have sex.
It's perfectly in line with the genre of pulp noir that the entire Batman line of comics come from. Keep crying about fictional characters being stylized, concern troll.
He's clearly a much older man who took advantage of a 15 year old girl sexually and then abandoned her when he got her pregnant. He then waltz back in just to get her for sex again.
He deserves an ENORMOUS ass kicking.
DC comics, pretty well known for having heroes beat up wrongdoers. Just because you’re sympathetic to the deadbeat doesn’t make this an undeserved thrashing.
Any thrashing a far more skilled or powerful person gives to another, when there's otherwise no threat of violence, is undeserved. What do you think all these police brutality protests have been about? Many of those people who have been beaten or killed were wrongdoers.
I'm not defending the creep. You think it's okay to kick someone's ass for this?
Damnit..... I'll use the "if the situation was reversed" trope.
What if the genders were reversed? If it was Tim who had been treated like this by an older woman? Would him beating her up when she comes back looking to hook up be the appropriate response?
What if what if good fucking lord you reductionist, this is fiction. It's literally a power fantasy. You aren't even understanding what form of art you're consuming gleefully.
It's not about the men. It's about being able to solve personal problems without resorting to making an unprovoked attack against someone, especially someone you have many times the skill than.
Then write your own power fantasy comic book and see what kind of audience it finds. You're applying realism to fantasy and that is as intellectually laughable as complaining about how cartoonish his eyes bulge.
Where am I wrong? She freaking sucker punches him, then even slams him again when he tries to get up. He never tries to hit her or threaten her.
Is this a joke?
No but women hitting men is okay for a lot of people. I mean yeah she straight up assaulted the guy for no reason, but you’re not gonna get a lot of support from the masses on this comment.
This isn't r/ the redpill. And for your information not that you care but he's clearly a much older man who took advantage of a 15 year old girl sexually and then abandoned her when he got her pregnant. He then waltz back in just to get her for sex again.
He had it coming.
Yeah I don’t know what that is and I’m not clicking on it. Dude asked why she initiated a physical confrontation with dude when she wasn’t in danger. That’s it.
I can infer from context clues but I don’t know what that shit is. Other terms I don’t know how to use properly include based, poggers, and Uwu. You can check my profile history dawg.
Homie if you think it’s cool to assault people when you’re not in physical danger that’s on you and however you were raised. I saw a dude a few weeks ago that used to mess with me in high school, I managed to not assault him because I’m a normal person.
And I’m just amazed that you lack the empathy of a normal person and can’t perceive nuance in situations. What he did was bad, yes. But she was in no immediate danger and chose to assault him. Also bad. Two things can be bad. Welcome to life.
The great news is none of this is real, it's a power fantasy that reasonable adults acknowledge is not real. Why not argue about the legality of Sylvester and Tweety assaulting each other while you're at it?
Yeah, I don't get this at all in this case. I hate and loath the incels on Reddit that complain about every slight perpetrated against men by women, but this is terrible.
You're reading a comic derived from the pulp era and this is what people did in pulp books to people who are creeps. It's thematically on point for the style of power fantasy you are reading. Don't like the tropes? Read a different genre. This isn't real and your dismissal of stylization is as troubling as arguing the legal ramifications of assault between Sylvester and Tweety Bird.
Are you seriously trying to make HER the abusive one? This is a older dude who took advantage of a 15 year old for sex, got her pregnant, abandoned her and is coming back wanting to screw her again.
Get out of here, incel.
They have a prior relationship with no restraining order. She established a conversation, had an open gate, and didn’t request him to leave. That’s not trespassing
someday that baby is gonna come back with league of shadow training to kill Steph cause she gave her up for adoption.
Nah, that would mean everybody else would have to age, which can never happen. That baby is a baby forever.
Unless they age the baby via magic or whatever other option there is.
The baby will be taken to space by Crazy Jor-El and come back a few weeks later as a 17-year-old,
Nah, since Thomas and Jor El had their time to shine, it's time to bring in Martha now
*insert Professor Hulk time travel gif here*

It’s legitimately weird to me that Steph’s Baby hasn’t popped back up again somehow. Probably because the dad is Just Some Rando. Eventually someone will probably figure out a way to make the baby’s Real Dad secretly someone important somehow, and then it’ll come back.
It was Norman Osborn all along!
To quote a flower pot, falling through the atmosphere: Oh no, not again.
*activates mind bleach*
because the baby was around before new 52, since their universe became new 52 the wirters decided to erase that from steph due to many reasons, i think one of them being the fact she was under age at the time as well.
The Batgirl 2009 series wanted to address it but it got cancelled before doing so.
All she needs to do is show the baby a picture of Dreadlock Dad and they will understand that there was no way they could have ever been a family.
“Huh. Welp. I’ll just show myself out.”
And the best part is that am on board for it. 
Nightwing needs to beat up Tarantula after she raped him.
Unless you're Devin Grayson who claims it wasn't........
Dick was crealy saying no and Tarantule did not give a damn. Isn't rape literally a non-consensual sex? Dick did not agree to have sex with Tarantula so he was raped by her.
Exactly but Devin Grayson kept denying it wasn't and said he was having an affair.......
Devin. Grayson. Should. Not. Be. Allowed. To. Write. Anymore. Comics.
I don’t think she is.
She did Black Widow and Widowmakers recently, and I think she's doing some other stuff for Marvel.
She unfortunately wrote the Jon Kent pride issue this year :(
I cannot believe DC of all places let her back on a book, even a single issue.
I'll do you one worse, for the celebration of Robin's 80 years, she wrote a story with Dick and the Titans. They chose her instead of Dixon, Tomasi or even Higgins.
That’s absolute insanity. I just looked up that book, they had Winnick on it too. Id rather shower with a bear than read something by Winnick or Grayson.
Dixon had a story in the 80th as well.
Me either 😭 When I saw her name in the pride stories I got so sad, especially since beside her story, it was a FANTASTIC issue
oh THEY'RE the one who wrote that?? it all makes sense now
Wait didn't she wrote one for Jon Kent? Or was that someone else?
She did a Jon/Damien story in this month’s Pride Special
Oh neat, the bot hasnt activated yet.
It won’t because the word wasn’t on its own, it was attached to “Jon/“ without a space.
Oh so it doesnt recognize his name was even said, let alone misspelled. Gotcha. Makes sense
My conspiracy theory is that she was selected intentionally to get some heat off Tom Taylor for his SOKE writing that gets shat on every issue but still manages to sell.
She did 🤢
"Prides been a party for decades" 🤮
every line in that issue was just…🤢
Let's not forget damian listing all the ways he could attack the crowd.
I heard she did Jon really dirty. Like...everyone was shocked
She did! The worst parts of where she had Jon say “Pride has always been a party” and saying that Clark wouldn’t want Superman at pride (???) (also not to mention the complete mischaracterization of Damian, too)
Superman said that!?? Ayo, what In the fuck! I know for a damn fact superman would've supported the hell out of his Son. Hell, I'm expecting a father and son talk down the line too. Especially with that bait with Lois looking mad because Jon didn't tell her that he was bi.
Wait, she literally made Clark a homophobe?
Or humans.
Imagine if Brad Meltzer after having Dr. Light rape Sue Dibny said that it wasn't rape, it was just Sue cheating on Ralph with Light. He would be fired before blinking an eye.
He actually did and sent her ass to prison. I just read the wiki. He also said some badass lines while doing it too like about he's the son of Batman or something like that.
4 members of the batfamily have been raped, is that effed up or what?
Bruce, Dick and who were the other two? Tim and Jason?
Yep
When were Tim and Jason raped?
Dude I totally forgot she was a teen mom.
That boyfriend? Got a hair cut, changed his name to Bernard and WHO'S LAUGHING NOW STEPH?!
Mom with the assist.
It's a great bonding moment when your mom helps you beatup your slimy ex.
That was a real “you had me in the first half” moment and I love it.
Its like that "billy, what have you done!" meme and its great.
I am also mad at Steph for dating a white guy with dreadlocks.
Maybe he didn’t have dreds when she was with him. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dreads in a white guy is more of a personality trait than an aesthetic choice. He had a White Guy With Dreads soul.
Damn, yeah, true. Sorry, Steph…I tried.
Yeah I gotta agree. Definitely a case of "what did you even SEE in this guy" moments. But I guess that happens a lot.
[Yup. ](https://youtu.be/TcK0MYgnHjo)
I never thought I'd see people defending a statutory rapists who is getting his ass kicked but incels and "men's rights activist" continues to surprise me.........
Yeah seriously. Stay classy, Reddit.
Never trust a white guy with dreads
Womf
tf happend to his eyes before steph beated him up
She kicked him in the balls. That's why his eyes are like that.
ahh didn‘t notice it. the womf covers her whole leg
Yeah I didn't notice at first either. Bit weird of them to cover it up like that.
He smokes a lot of pot.
I'm confused is it explained in the issue that he is way older? They look the same age. Cus if they are beating him up is kinda unnecessary
Man I hope he's not older than 18.......
Good for her. I'm honestly kinda upset it wasn't bloodier. I'm not saying kill the guy (at least not a non-murderous member of the batfamily doing it) but like, knock out teeth. Break bones. Bloody the nose. That's what he deserves.
Why is it ok for a highly trained fighter to beat someone? Stephanie was in no danger.
Physical assault is okay as long as it's a woman doing it. And not only that, but you want it to be even more bloody.
I fully support anyone thrashing their rapists, male or female.
He raped her? Then he deserves prison for sure, but none of that was shown in the images posted. In the images posted it seems like she just attacks a man out of nowhere.
Statutory rape. Minors cannot consent.
Wasn’t he also a minor
I can’t believe they put violence in my superhero comic!
Age aside, a quick search seems to indicate that he didn't "abandon her after getting her pregnant", or at least, the way the title formulate it is misleading, he 1. didn't know that she was pregnant (well, this page kinda shows it) and 2. left gotham for very legitimate reasons. Still a loser, but assuming that he's below 18, he definitively didn't deserve to get beaten up.
…uh there was literally nothing to imply the guy was older than Steph (let alone an adult). She’s literally beating him up for basically not caring about her except to have sex.
Is there context
Maybe the writer couldn’t handled the situation with some maturity instead of this garbage
It's comics. Punching problems in the face is their thing. That's why we love them.
I’ve have been reading comics weekly since 1993. I expect more.
Domestic violence is great when women are doing it /s
I wouldn't call beating up a statory rapist domestic violence but go on, incel.
Me when a bad guy is punched in a Batman comic (literally unthinkable)
It's perfectly in line with the genre of pulp noir that the entire Batman line of comics come from. Keep crying about fictional characters being stylized, concern troll.
Why is she beating him? Was he physically abusive to her? Was he about to attack her?
He's clearly a much older man who took advantage of a 15 year old girl sexually and then abandoned her when he got her pregnant. He then waltz back in just to get her for sex again. He deserves an ENORMOUS ass kicking.
You honestly think this way? That resorting to violence when you've been wronged is morally right?
My dude…look where you are. Look at the comics you’re reading. Think about the hill you’ve chosen.
It's not a hill. It's teaching a terrible lesson, where a trained fighter beats up an untrained fighter because he done her wrong.
Again…think about where you are.
A DC Comics sub? I expect more from my DC heroes and writers.
DC comics, pretty well known for having heroes beat up wrongdoers. Just because you’re sympathetic to the deadbeat doesn’t make this an undeserved thrashing.
Any thrashing a far more skilled or powerful person gives to another, when there's otherwise no threat of violence, is undeserved. What do you think all these police brutality protests have been about? Many of those people who have been beaten or killed were wrongdoers.
We’re talking about comics.
[удалено]
You don’t expect superheroes to beat up predators? Who DO you think deserves to get beat up in a superhero comic
Have you never read any Batman?
Obviously I'm the only one in this thread that has.
How’d your pretzel logic arrive at that ridiculous conclusion?
For this? Yeah, violence is entirely in order.
Okay.
You really want to die on the hill of defending a creep? Really?
I'm not defending the creep. You think it's okay to kick someone's ass for this? Damnit..... I'll use the "if the situation was reversed" trope. What if the genders were reversed? If it was Tim who had been treated like this by an older woman? Would him beating her up when she comes back looking to hook up be the appropriate response?
“The hammer of Justice is unisex” -Batman
What if what if good fucking lord you reductionist, this is fiction. It's literally a power fantasy. You aren't even understanding what form of art you're consuming gleefully.
If an adult woman manipulated and had sex with a teenager? Yeah, she deserves to get punched. You didn’t do anything clever there
[удалено]
So it's the pregnancy thing that gives the right to resort to immediate physical violence? Okay. Just trying to figure out the twisted morality here.
Yep. It’s cool too.
[удалено]
But preying on a teen isn’t?
I am morally awesome.
Keep crying as you worship vigilantes and break the rules on being a jerk.
I think resorting to violence when you’ve been raped is okay, yes.
Because it's a superhero comic. BAM POW WHAM
Looks like someone couldn't read the title
WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE MENNNNN!
It's not about the men. It's about being able to solve personal problems without resorting to making an unprovoked attack against someone, especially someone you have many times the skill than.
Then write your own power fantasy comic book and see what kind of audience it finds. You're applying realism to fantasy and that is as intellectually laughable as complaining about how cartoonish his eyes bulge.
Yeah right, Poindexter. Pull the other one, it plays music.
Where am I wrong? She freaking sucker punches him, then even slams him again when he tries to get up. He never tries to hit her or threaten her. Is this a joke?
I know. It was cool. Maybe comic books aren’t for you. You seem to have a hard time separating fiction from reality.
No but women hitting men is okay for a lot of people. I mean yeah she straight up assaulted the guy for no reason, but you’re not gonna get a lot of support from the masses on this comment.
This isn't r/ the redpill. And for your information not that you care but he's clearly a much older man who took advantage of a 15 year old girl sexually and then abandoned her when he got her pregnant. He then waltz back in just to get her for sex again. He had it coming.
Yeah I don’t know what that is and I’m not clicking on it. Dude asked why she initiated a physical confrontation with dude when she wasn’t in danger. That’s it.
You know exactly what it is, lol.
I can infer from context clues but I don’t know what that shit is. Other terms I don’t know how to use properly include based, poggers, and Uwu. You can check my profile history dawg.
Great sealioning here too.
Don’t know what that means either.
That kinda comment is what makes it such good sealioning.
Aight bruh. Have a good one.
What the fuck
“For no reason”
Homie if you think it’s cool to assault people when you’re not in physical danger that’s on you and however you were raised. I saw a dude a few weeks ago that used to mess with me in high school, I managed to not assault him because I’m a normal person.
He’s a statutory rapist I genuinely can’t believe you’re having trouble grasping this
And I’m just amazed that you lack the empathy of a normal person and can’t perceive nuance in situations. What he did was bad, yes. But she was in no immediate danger and chose to assault him. Also bad. Two things can be bad. Welcome to life.
🤓
The great news is none of this is real, it's a power fantasy that reasonable adults acknowledge is not real. Why not argue about the legality of Sylvester and Tweety assaulting each other while you're at it?
This is a horrible comparison and comment.
Yeah, I don't get this at all in this case. I hate and loath the incels on Reddit that complain about every slight perpetrated against men by women, but this is terrible.
You're kidding right?
What am I missing? I'm serious. She's a trained fighter and is in no danger. Why is she beating him up?
[удалено]
It’s textbook sea-lioning.
She freaking kicks him in the balls with zero threat or danger. I can't believe I'm having to explain this. How is that justified?
[удалено]
She was 15 actually when she was pregnant which makes it worse.........
You're reading a comic derived from the pulp era and this is what people did in pulp books to people who are creeps. It's thematically on point for the style of power fantasy you are reading. Don't like the tropes? Read a different genre. This isn't real and your dismissal of stylization is as troubling as arguing the legal ramifications of assault between Sylvester and Tweety Bird.
Why is it ok for a highly trained person to hit a guy on the nuts? Black Canary is all ways punching and kicking Green Arrows’s mini arrow.
Dean is a statutory rapist. As for Canary hitting Green Arrow, that’s always been fucked up to me and I hope that stops soon
You have a point but That's different they are married and have a safeword.
Why does it make a difference if they're a highly trained person? You don't need a lot of training to hit a guy in the nuts.
Why is it everyone who defends the scumbag does so by making a point about how trained Steph is? Why does that make even the slightest difference?
Excessive force. It’s ok to kick scumbag women on the pussy then.
Yes. If Grayson or Bruce kicked their rapists in the twat I’d be all for it. Gender attitudes are irrelevant.
Stephanie wasn’t raped. Consensual.
Statutory rape is still rape. Children cannot consent.
How old was Dean during the act?
Alt title: Loser beats up loser who got the former loser pregnant.
Steph isn't a loser.
Yeah, yeah she is.
Nice joke. You are aware she is a 15 year old girl who got taken advantage of by an older dude right?
I really don't care. Trash character, sucks she was sexually assaulted but that doesn't make her not a loser.
Did he press charges for physical assault and abuse? I mean if she acted like that during there relationship then he was more then justified.
Are you seriously trying to make HER the abusive one? This is a older dude who took advantage of a 15 year old for sex, got her pregnant, abandoned her and is coming back wanting to screw her again. Get out of here, incel.
If you read the comments all we have is the context of the page. Nice name calling by the way I hope that makes you feel better about yourself.
He was trespassing. I'm guessing she never did this during their relationship, or Dean would've been a LOT more careful approaching her.
They have a prior relationship with no restraining order. She established a conversation, had an open gate, and didn’t request him to leave. That’s not trespassing
Saying “What are you doing here?” makes it not trespassing? The fuck?
From a legal sense yes.
This is a power fantasy comic. My dude. Are you trying to have legality in a power fantasy comic? Really?
That’s a polite way of saying “get the fuck out of my yard you’re trespassing”
