    Also Cass and Steph are appearing on Tim's DC Pride cover (Tim Drake: Robin #10 by Travis Moore). Not sure who the individual behind them is but there are at least three bisexuals on this cover (maybe four, is Tim's boyfriend bi or gay?)

    I guess that's Darcy, she is imo basically a "non love interest" stand in for Steph.

    This just reminds me of that bad story that addressed the Tim/Steph relationship in relation to Bernard...but they're really getting mileage out of Tim as the gay Robin, huh?

    The similarities seem far too striking to be a complete coincidence.

    Yep. Blonde purple wearing vigilante. It's clear she is that.

    Ugh that story was so bad and just made Steph be a damsel for Tim to save and a prop to push to Bernard
    Like it looks she doesn't have any self respect given how awfully Tim treated her and he then introduced her to his new partner without even asking first. I really hope Stephanie doesn't show up in the actual issue itself as it is clear Fitzmartin sees her as just a prop for Bernard. It's annoying as she once claimed she broke Timsteph off panel to avoid using Stephanie as a prop but only to do that anyway.

    Guess the question is if Cass and Steph being on the cover means they're part of the demographic, too, or "just" as allies. (Recall that the Yara Flor Wonder Girl got a Pride cover, too awhile back, despite nothing in her writing to date indicating she was on the LGBTQ+ spectrum).

    Bernard is supposed to be bi is my understanding.
    Steph and Cass were supposed to be a couple in Future State, which is supposed to be the future, or a future, of the current timeline so it seems like Cass and Steph should be bi. It's all so vague I don't necessarily think they're out or identifying as bi yet? Maybe? But it makes sense that they are given that future history together.

    Yeah, I'm not sure if they're following up on that Future State thing.

    This wasn't my favorite Batgirl volume but still sad to see it go.

    I kind of wonder what's next for Steph and Cass. Babs at least is basically the co-lead of Dicks' book so she's guaranteed to show up somewhere.

    Cass is in Spirit World for 4 months after Batgirls ends. It's Steph I'm most concerned about.

    And this wasn't my favorite Batgirl series, but I am glad it got 19 issues plus an annual - a lot more than a large number of other Infinite Frontier series got (8 ongoings ended with a shorter run than this one). I'm going to miss it a lot.

    I'm just pissed. Everyone knows how much I disliked the writers, and the art, and the annoying editor. With the issue that came out this week, they didn't even pretend to try. Anyway, I guess that's the Batgirl book of the 2020s. Next revival: 2030s.

    Steph and Cass are on a Pride cover dressed as Spoiler and Orphan, but it's not set in the past - Tim is with Bernard. Does this have significance? Do they get fired from the Bat family?

    Variants, like coffee, are for closers. But it would have been pretty cute if they'd gotten Neil Googe to do swimsuits again like the Corona cover for Bat Girl Summer.
