I mean by the logic of some readers it should really just be Dick and Bruce and that's it, no extended family because it's too much for some readers.
Because judging by the ultra specific solicitations, we’re not getting all three. We’re getting the Cass and Steph show with Babs shunted off into the background. Babs won’t be Batgirl: she’ll just be the exposition, the one who doles out the missions and who doesn’t get her due to suit up on the field, regularly (not this bullshit “once in a while”) as it should be.

Meanwhile, Tim gets specifically mentioned as Robin while Damian also gets to be Robin, neither one of them has to sit out being on the comms—and then Frontier complained on another thread that Jace being Batman at the same time and in the same city as Bruce was “redundant.” Which is ****, because if we have to put up with shared mantles, then Bruce better just be sitting in a corner for years on end while Jace runs the show.

If all three Batgirls got to star together, sure. But Babs is getting excluded from her own mantle. And all this bullshit reasoning that’s just filled with double standards about how Babs deserves to get shunted off because because something important.
