User blog comment:Inferno Pendragon/PE Proposal: Cormorant/@comment-2059440-20191117011557

this panel says a lot :

"I saved myself, he thought I was dead - but he killed part of me, reduced my world to a haze of pain and self-protection.

I'd never been hurt before, not like that. I'd been an innocent hero.

Cormorant changed that"

it's kind of heartbreaking to think this is the thoughts of a still teenage girl and shows that he's a "special" kind of bad guy, even for Batman series (this was also before Joker's infamous paralysing scene).
