Yeah, I think it's safe to say the Titans reference was just a flub on the writer and editorial part.

Yeah, I think it's safe to say the Titans reference was just a flub on the writer and editorial part.
If you read an comic written by Williamson since DiDio was fired, he takes MULTIPLE potshots at DiDio, usually through other characters used as surrogates (ie, the things that happened to the Flash...
Tynion also commented on the article on Twitter and straight said it's false.

Though the latest issue suggests that won't be a thing for long. I'm expecting this run to end with her ending it.
What? Why? Dick is Nightwing again, like, this month.
In-universe, Barbara is VERY possessive of Batgirl post-Crisis. It is HER name. She is outraged when a new Batgirl appears during No Man's Land, moreso when she finds out it's Huntress and shuts down...
Barbara acting as Oracle. We see her clearer in the second part.

Keep in mind, we're lacking context. He's still called Drake in Batgirl despite wearing the Robin costume and young Justice says "Batman and Spoiler made him". There's a vital piece of the story we...
As Harpsikord has said, we've SEEN Stephanie's costume. Literally with our own eyes. It's right here:

It helps that DiDio, who seemed to be the main supporter for loner Batman, is gone. Is it a coincidence that Tynion is brining back the family the second DiDio's era is done?
Convergence was purely a filler story that had the likely unintended at the time side effect of bringing in another Superman while they were moving offices. The fandom blew that one's importance and...
Keep in mind that Wally is likely currently involving in Flash Forward at this point. Williamson KNOWS about HiC and Flash Forward and Death Metal and he's writing Speed Metal specifically so he can...
That's really the entire reason Morrison had him be Dick's Robin. Robin is supposed to play off Batman because they have opposing personalities. The light to Batman's darkness. In their case, it was...
If you're wnaitng to jump in, I would probably wait until October's Batman #100, which is reshuffling the Bat-Family's status quo. It's effectively breaking out of the DiDio era entirely.
And while I haven't read it yet, apparently the latter is questionably canon? She hasn't featured in a definitively main universe book since Batgirl and the Birds of Prey (City of Bane was basically...
To add to the above answers, the Bat-Books will be undergoing a major status quo shift in the next couple months. Especially re: Dick and Tim. This is thanks to Dan DiDio being fired and his 5G plans...
Gatekeeping nonsense aside, you may be misunderstanding what he said- The last time he liked Damian was in Super Sons. Which is a fair notion because Damian's regression started after that book ended...
I'm okay with it but I think it's better as a temporary stopgap. Tynion is bringing back the Bat-Family now that the man who scattered the family is gone and there's a new Bat-Editor and that...
People tend to misunderstand what Convergence was. They did not get married in pre-Flashpoint. Versions of their Pre-Flashpoint selves who were plucked from time and space at the point their world...
That's not a rumor, it happened two issues ago. ^^;
I think taking context into account, she's... probably about even with her older self? Like we need to remember she spent years out of publication and her time as Robin was both very short and...
Honestly, she knows everything about her Pre-Flashpoint self she needs to know. What would restoring her memories even do for her at this point? Remind her how it felt to be tortured by Black Mask?
Yeah, that tracks. With DiDio gone and a new Bat-Editor who seems to get along with him, Tynion is finally allowed to harvest the seeds he planted during Rebirth.
I personally lay the blame solely at DiDio's fee. King gets a LOT of flack for DiDio's ideas with probably the most obvious being Heroes In Crisis because he happens to write them. DiDio's distaste...
A criticism I've both had and heard about Burnside is that it's more fitting for Stephanie or even a new character. Barbara was drawn to look young even for a college student. Even outside the book,...
