Maybe that's another factor of the DC Trinity they're trying to foist on us. Wonder Woman trusts only external absolutes, Batman trusts only internal logics, and Superman trusts everyone (and is thus an impotent dorkus).
I liked it better when the Trinity could be seen as Fireman (reactionary/Superman), Policeman (proactive/Batman) and Social Worker (alternative/Wonder Woman) rather than Martyr/Apologist, Fascist/Controller and Warrior/Killer respectively.
