I agree. Moral Event Horizon is when a character becomes IRREDEEMABLY (sorry for ALLCAPS) evil, as in there's no going back, and the MEH can only be crossed once. "Every action in the film" cannot be a MEH. The murder was more of self defense, and presenting the corpse was spiteful, neither make her irredeemable. Her killing Batson is definitely a more clearly defined MEH.

Well, I start this discussion. Mera's death at the hands of Wonder Woman isn't a murder and isn't a Moral Event Horizon moment.
In first place, it wasn't a cold-blooded murder; was Mera who tried to kill Diana at first. It is implied that one hell of a fight occurred between Flashpoint Wonder Woman and Mera. It starts with Mera attacking Diana in her room, who is sharpening her sword. Mera controls the water from a nearby fountain to use as a weapon, whilst Diana charges with her sword. When the scene cuts back, the entire room has been wrecked, with some of it being on fire, whilst Diana's bloody sword liesfire, whilst Diana's bloody sword lies...
So, Diana acted in legitimate defense and Mera's attack was a Cassus Belli.
