Flashpoint paradox seemed worse off in terms of being depressing considering Barry couldn't save his mom, went back in time, caused a paradox and then had to put things right by having his mom get killed again, all while shit went to hell in that alternate universe. Also Wonder Woman beat the shit out of plenty of heroes and even killed William Batson. I've seen enough D.C animated movies to know that they don't treat a woman like some dainty object. The way the movie and comic were written was how they were intended to be.
Don't forget Bruce has been through some traumatic times as well as plenty of other heroes. I don't see why this has to be "it's because she's a girl" kind of topic.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
