I came for Kate, I stayed for Bette Love Fantastic Four, Namor, Batwoman, Dr.Strange.... i love them all
A big point against Bette being Oryx is that Oryx had a brother.

I am severely out of sorts with reading/order, so thank you for pointing that out.
I am going with gut and the look that seems to match Bette doing something similar (other continuities of course).
But technically we know really very little of Bette's family/connections.
Her father is a brother to Jacob and nothing concrete, I believe.
My scenario leading to reveal origin might now be that after West Point she ends up confronting someone about family stuff (she's mostly been shuffled off to Aunts, by marriage, or cousins who have too much going on to help/pay attention)
Maybe she finds out that some of her family stuff is about a brother ??
Of course you may know more that will conflict that.
I seem to be unable to get to my LCS and I'm not sure if they nabbed these for me, so I may be out of luck...

Before anyone says anything, I have seen today's story about Bette/Flamebird in Legion of Bloom and the possible future it shows.
I'm okay with that, though I think Oryz sounded pretty interesting, so I'm sure I'll follow that (I have asked for the pull of Batman, INC)
And of course I hope to see a regular book or feature for Kate, Batwoman.
For my tastes, the tease or panels shown in the article were not what I would want artisically but we'll see. I'm glad if she is back, even for now.

Bette sketch by Grine.

Finally, finally picked up comics at my LCS and read Legion of Bloom amongst others. Hey, I'm an older guy and I probably drive less than 10 miles a week on average. Far less perhaps.
Anyway, the story with Flamebird and "Titans West" seems like something in the file for at least 15 years.
From a plot standpoint as well as art, the story seems
like it was created before the new52.
Does anyone else get that?
The other thing is I'm not so familiar with artists so I don't even know if these folks are current artists or from a ways back.
I was overall not impressed with the story and action.
But it was something.
None of Bette's Batwoman/West Point career was even brought up so that adds to the idea this was an old 'inventory' type of story.
But it was something.

Does anyone want Bette in some form to be a part of the Outsiders?
LOL, she almost defines 'outsider' by existing.

It's very possible that Dick remembers little if anything about Flamebird/Bette/"old" Bat-Girl. Her identity could even be unrevealed to him.
Kate herself would probably be a little glib about her cousin too.
So it could be cute and ironic if some situation brings these people together.
The relative ages thing between them is a disaster too, and better to not try and retcon/correct.
Babs was originally at least a good 5 years older than Dick, in my opinion. He was still somewhere in his teens and she had already completed her Masters in Library Science (or she wasn't really a librarian). Granted that she is smarter than the average student, I'd still say that she is 5 years older than Dick, in the old continuity.
Bette/Betty was relative age to Dick. She was probably 12 to his 13 perhaps.
I have no clue with Starfire, since an alien could be anything. Unless someone knows for sure, I'd say about dead even with Dick.
But now it may appear that Babs is younger than Dick. Someone fill me in, or give out your opinions.
Remembering that some years ago a "Titans Tomorrow" story had Bette getting with Tim Drake, and they seemed about the same/comparable age.

I am grateful for the meager showing of Flamebird anywhere in the DC universe.
