It never occurred to anyone the first BW interrogation scene was foreshadowing?

Yeah. But the way it was written, it made it overly obvious that she was lying to Loki. So there's no suprise, atleast for me, when it's revealed that she was tricking him. The whole scene you know he's getting played.

Preposterous? No, it's all too common. Tricksters think the rest of the world are straight men, and often overlook the possibility that others can trick as well.

Yeah, what's "preposterous" is having a guy with a bow and arrow there.

I couldn't agree more. I've said many times that Batman and all his derivatives are the dumbest superheroes possible. Besides the simple logistics of dealing with their clumsy gear, so much has to be glossed over to allow them to play in the same league as Superman or Thor.
