I think Dave's right in something: if there's a somewhat explicit rape scene in the comic, it should have a warning. At least that one issue should. It's impossible that DC didn't think of this... and the fact that they didn't include a warning anyway proves that they are indeed targetting the book to teenagers. Now, that's DC. The company. Based only on the interviews with him I've read, I don't think Brad Meltzer is the kind of writer that would pull something like that. He supplied DC a story, they marketted it as they saw fit (for example: all the hype surrounding who would bite the dust in the first issue, which was stupid because it led some people, who obviously hadn't read any of the Meltzer interviews, to get the wrong idea about the book, leading to the "they killed a minor character = IC is lame" reactions).
