My issue isn't even about how long she's known them it's about DC's No 1 female not being shared out amongst the male heroes. Especially one that's supposed to be a feminist icon.
we don't have to have a relationship. It adds nothing.
DCeased was a smash and only had the usually established relationships we don't need any extra here. Ollie and Dinah can cover the romance side.
Yeah. Obviously I don't know exactly what's going to happen, but Dick didn't need to be mind controlled again and Damian doesn't need another family member to hurt him. If he shows up in this issue. We still don't know what he's going to do after the annual and the term Robins is pretty vague. Could be all of them, could be only the ones Nightwing can find.
But Damian is the only one of them who has played a role in the post-headshot issues so excluding him would be kinda weird.
The Nightwing solicitation reminds me of this cover:
minus the Talon thing
The trick cover was a more interesting story than what was in the actual issue, I will give them that.
But do they really have to brainwash Dick two times in a row?
Well...hopefully it will make for some good angst material if nothing else. Even though at this point I think a lot of the bat characters are in need of some rebuilding, not more angst.
On the plus side: In some shape or form the characters are interacting again. Better than what we got under King where the batfamily simply didn't matter and everyone almost pretended the others didn't exist.
The solicitation for Batman 96/97 do hint at Bruce having to reflect on the rifts he created in his life, so maybe that's just the writers way of setting up a reunion.
