DC heroes are usually very pure, heroic characters.Nothing wrong with either character, but something to note.
Except that it hasn't been true for years for a several of those characters, or even ever, for some of them.
It's an incredibly antiquated and outdated idea, and isn't really true anymore, bar maybe for Superman. Everyone else had different reasons than it simply "being right".
It's one of the reasons why I was so disappointed by Whedon's interview, because I honestly thought he was better than that.
