I was, frankly, as creeped out by the way Deathstroke kept promising Terra that he would sleep with her real soon now as I would have been by him actually doing it because I saw it as the same sort of abuse/manipulation. That is, him not doing it didn't make him a better human being because he wasn't not doing it because it would be wrong but because he didn't have to in order to control her.
Oh, I agree. The whole grooming aspect (grooming to be a tool if not a sexually) was really played up in this version.
Part of what bugged me about Damien is an admitted bias. In the comics version of the Court of the Owls, there's a fair bit of focus on Dick, in ways that I kind of get might not have fit into a 2-hour movie, but that I thought were way more interesting than a re-run of the Battle for Damien's Soul. I'm pleased that they've included Nightwing in the movies at ALL, given what went down in the BTAS/JL/JLU/BB universe, and he gets a decent amount of screen time and story focus, but, well, already explained ;).
