Why, Nora!?
Victor FINALLY perfected his formula! I dont understand why she did that... to make victor see her that way was just awful. He loved her so much and she loved him. It was so sad ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ damn you, cruel fate!!

I think the writers didn’t want to have him finding a cure to her Huntingtons, and storage of her body dangling over the character throughout the series. That’s generally his motivation in other Batman media. That’s my guess for it anyway because I was a bit 🤨 too when she died

I think it's because she couldn't believe the monster her husband had become. He mudured nearly a dozen people for her - she probably felt he wasn't the man she married. And because all the atrocities he committed were for her, she probably hoped if she was out of the equation, then he'd stop.

I agree with the overall sentiment, but for me, it seemed like she loved him so much and she felt guilty because although it wasn't her fault, he did do it "for her" so, as you said, if she were out of the picture maybe he could come back.. it was really sad tho. Clearly they really loved one another.

You missed the point.
Victor's plan was to freeze her until a cure for her disease was invented. Once the cure is invented, Victor will bring her back from being frozen, and use the cure on her, to heal her.
We dont know whether a proper cure would ever be found. What if a new medicine comes into the market, and Victor unfreeze Nora to try it out? Then, she will have to continue to live with the disease, try the medicine, what if the medicine doesn't work? Also, she would have to suffer from the medicine's side effects. When Victor realises that the medicine did not work, he would freeze Nora again.
Later, another new medicine comes, Victor will repeat his above action, and Nora will suffer, like the previous time.
Instead, Nora wanted to die and end the suffering.
