Stephanie Brown: Spoiler, Robin, Batgirl, Batwoman Appreciation 2021

[Aahz]

The franchise can have more than one lesbian!

But if they make Steph and Cass LGBT, you technically only two significant straight female characters left in the Batfranchise.

I would be fine with that.. Anyway Steph would be BI and Cass LESBIAN.

Unless I missed something the only time that I think that I almost saw Cass shipped with a guy was in her 2nd Batgirl volume but... Sadly it ended too soon.

Well given the news about Tim being Bi, where do we as Stephanie fans go with this? Like is DC never going to give them a chance again? If not then who can she date if DC goes the way of Tim being gay?

As long as Steph continues appearing I am fine with this.. I don´t ship them. This relationship to me is one excuse to see Steph.

[Aahz]

I can not remember Cass with any guy.

She was with Connor Kent, there was one villain she she was attracted to (Black Wind or something similar), and she had clearly a crush on a guy in the YA OGN.

I think they also tried to ship her with Tim at some point ...

[Darkspellmaster]

Care to try that part again?

Edit: Hasn't that always been the case with the two of them. (Ugh Phone! and I didn't see this till now)

[WonderNight]

So if we don't end up getting a batgirl's book what direction would you like to see Steph go down?

Barbara and …..?

[Zaresh]

Barbara and …..?

Helena Bertinelli I guess.

I see.. But maybe they can use the current reality against it and say that now is lesbian...

Aqualad was made Gay.. and I think that was shipped with a girl.

Barbara and …..?

Maybe Huntress?

and the super cute doctor with excessive love for banana boba tea in the Asian Appreciation or whatever it's called

[Aahz]

Helena Bertinelli I guess.

Yeah, I was referring to Barbara and Helena.

And really there are allready a lot of queer women in the Batman comics: Kate, Renee, Harley, Ivy, Harper Row and technically Selina.

I've also heard of “[character]-sexual”, where someone is for the most part straight with the exception of one character. While I personally prefer Stephanie and Cass as friends, I could see both being straight overall with the exception of each other — if you want to go that route.

[adrikito]

Yeah, I was referring to Barbara and Helena.

Yeah. You are right in that..

Steph and Cass will probably continue without couples after this.

Steph x Damian (when he turns 18) here we come

The fact that they are Opposite Poles made me always like this idea.

[adrikito]

Maybe they'll seriously pair Steph and Cass. Maybe the Future State issues were prophetic...

Which Issues?? What happened??

I think people read their interaction like there was something between them deeper than just friendship.

AH... OK.

[Will Evans]

Yeah, I was referring to Barbara and Helena.

And Helena Wayne.

[MajorHoy]

So if we don't end up getting a batgirl's book what direction would you like to see Steph go down?

Interesting word choice, especially considering the direction this thread seemed to have taken . . .

. . . And really there are allready a lot of queer women in the Batman comics: Kate, Renee, Harley, Ivy, Harper Row and technically Selina.

And Helena Wayne.

Uh, is that ALL versions of Helena Wayne (past and present) or just one potential future version of Helena Wayne from stuff written by King in his Batman / Catwoman world?
