I'm still enjoying it. It's not as good as Dixon or BQM but it's still good fun, and even the BQM didn't take off until issue 4.

Well, yes. But while I'd say Cass is reasonably consistent from Puckett to Tynion (with some horrible exceptions like Ayala), Steph's voice has been all over the place - Dixon's sassy MJ-inspired girl next door, to BQM's quippy TV polish dialogue, to Tynion's slightly cocky teen, to Bendis's Bendisspeak, to Valentine's dark noir barbs - I just kinda think "Steph should register as a bit lighter in dialogue than those around her".

I get that, but that's why I always saw it as a more raw, younger, and not as hardened version of her before she became Oracle.
I think her feeling reactive or annoying was one of Simone's writing issues with the title, although there are versions of Babs I was more annoyed by...
Probably right, but Tamaki is trying to play games with at least 3, and possibly up to 5, women - (fake?) Harley Quinn, (missing patient?) Huntress, (missing) Steph, (unidentified, in the shadows) slash victim on top of elevator, and a barely disguised Kate (wig and sunglasses rather than her usual mask). So there's some kind of "identity" theme going on. These women are the "shadows of the bat"?
The shadows are probably all the batfamily dealing with Bruce's absence, and the name also hints a previous arc named shadows of the bat dealing with Arkham asylum.
Based on the solicitations it seemed like Huntress, Batwoman, Nightwing and maybe Harley are all undercover in Arkham. Was it hinted that Steph is also undercover, or just that when everything went south she was in the tower?
In the book, at least, Dick said he last saw Steph in the crowd - which I guess means she was on the street with all the onlookers, and in plainclothes, like he is. That's not exactly undercover, except that she was pretending to be a mere member of the crowd, while she was actually there as a Batgirl. Since he's lost track of her, her location is going to be a future plot point. If she went inside in plain clothes, she'd be unambiguously undercover.
In the latest issue of Robins, Steph has a really great part - her detective work really shines, as does her understanding and care for her fellow Robins! Really great stuff!
