"He must have consented, because he would have stopped her if he didn't want it" is a totally okay thing to say, right? Not skeevy at all?
Although TBH, I'll totally admit to a double-standard on Catalina myself. She really intrigues me, and I sympathize with her the same way I do Catman or Deadshot, these people who are bad and do evil things but are complicated and sometimes seem just a step away from redemption. I want to see her get the chance to shine and get better treatment as a character. On the other hand, flip Nightwing for Black Canary and Tarantula for Bane in that rooftop scene, and Bane would be absolutely dead to me. I'd want him gone, and anything that tried to treat him as a protagonist would creep me out and piss me off.
It's a weird thing to realize about myself and I'm still trying to unpack it.
