Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
BTW, it was never shown that Batman actually beat Shiva in HTH. The only bad showing she has, is when she lost to Jason. Shiva has already beaten Batman twice, along with Nightwing.
But it's Superman/Batman. Darkseid was hiding out in a barn, for gods sake.
Shiva's low end showings generally happen like that.. Another bad one was under Gail Simone, who I love as a writer but take most of her showings with a grain of salt, because at heart she's a fan fic writer putting "the rule of cool" ahead of all other considerations (Come on, would Shiva "really" get all sentimental about Huntresses performance to the point of requesting the honor of helping her to her feet?)
