Just a head's up, Batman: The Dark Knight Detective Volume 8 will release next week, which contains Steph's first appearance/story arc from Detective Comics #647–649.
"Has Sariel summoned you here, Azrael? Have you come to witness the miracle of your brethren arriving on Earth?"
"I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"
"*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."
Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!

I thought of a way to make the fallout between Bruce and Steph in rebirth less one sided in terms of making Steph look bad
so I know Tynion wanted to do the whole angle of "Steph being an outsider"
but what I'd do is have Steph be injured via the victim syndicate like she was and have Bruce due to his grief over losing Tim and a misguided desire to honor his wishes, bench Steph to keep her safe like he did with Dick
and this sparks her to be like "I can make my own decisions and am not a memento of Tim" and go off on her own
and you can focus on the Bat team in that era focusing more on the larger scale threats like we saw in the run
and Steph be focused on more smaller scale stuff and stuff that goes under the radar
maybe bring back a few of her rogues from Batgirl 2009
Chapter 2 of my 'Spoiler Cut' rewrite of the Gotham Knights show is up.

Steph is not just on the cover of this week's Titans: Beast World Tour: Gotham #1, but also stars in a solo story. By two very talented people, Kyle Starks and Kelley Jones. I doubt this tie-in book to Beast World is good overall, but there's this.
Yeah I saw Steph's appearance in the Titans: beast World Tour: Gotham #1.

I liked the mini chapter with her. It was short but I liked it. It was hilarious because she defeated a roach-Killer Moth. She stomped him in a totally offscreen beatdown. What made it so funny is when she goes to talk to the police after her big win she comes out with her legs covered in green roach slime and she left green messy footprints where she walked. LOL I laughed so hard at Steph's badass victory even though it was offscreen. She said all she needed was her boots and she didn't lie. The slime said it all, hahaha!

Note that she said the boots line after Moth sliced off her utility belt. Good job the belt wasn't also serving the purpose of holding her pants up! I guess Steph's suit has an elasticated waist.
