[QUOTE=NOCTPHOENIX;6258059]The thing is Tim with adaptions they have to be good or meaningful for it to take root and by themselves don't guarantee anything. Again with Olicity despite it being in the medium that most people know Green Arrow from, it didn't overshadow DinahOllie and Smallville also didn't have DinahOllie and yet DinahOllie still prevails.
I do get that it's not a given that it'll impact anything further. Only time will tell. I just wonder if it's significant that they're using Bernard in the first place instead of Steph, given her having the longer history and being depicted as "the one" in the past.
Guess the question remains if that's enough for it to stay or not.
(Forget: what's "GK"?)
Steph has proven to be popular beyond just being Tim's girlfriend. I mean, even if Bernard (or someone else) completely replaced her as Tim's "one true love" (a la Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson), I'd be pretty sure that she'd still hang around as another one of the Batgirls (one of her defining traits, after all). It's not nothing (the Tim/Steph ship was brought back, too), but I don't think the two are one and the same.
