#+ jan just pointed out in dms that it’s a v usamerican thing. i regret to inform you that catholicism is nor a unique trait.

[boyfridged]

not to be that person but catwoman (1989) and batman: year two both have not only a more authentic and genuine, but also inherently more interesting depiction of catholicism than any books with helena ever had. and i’m saying it as someone whose one of favourite comics is cry for blood. the truth is that helena’s catholicism has never been anything more than a stereotype. i do not mind using catholic themes just for aesthetics, but i feel like sometimes people forget that there are some motifs that are just much more fun if they preserve the original nuance and actually serve a function in the text.
