Paralleling what Cass did, Barbara (whether or not she is still able to be active as Batgirl) can be the one to hand suits over to Cass and Steph, and they can rise into the roles. With or without actual recollections.
Total recall, besides bringing mistakes and tragedy to mind, could kind of shortcut the natural evolution of things.
Steph didn't skip any steps while becoming Spoiler.
But you know, I'd enjoy either telling of the story. And I hope to be surprised! I only hope it's not an Elseworld story but actually has ongoing implications.
If it's real and not an Elseworld, it's a big deal for someone to don a Bat symbol, not something that can be easily walked back, but -- we'll see, and in not very long. (I always fear comics, along with everything else, will get shut down again.)
