I don't actually remember for sure. For some reason, the idea of "What if Cass stayed Batgirl, and Steph remained Tim's supporting character" was connected with some conversation I had with you (though it could also have been on 4chan, haha). But boy oh boy, am I glad she did not, at least if they were going to stick with FabNic as the writer for Tim. (I also posted some hot takes on FabNic writing Tim, because man were those some terrible plot holes/contrivances.)

I've been sitting on this thought for a few days now and was wondering what others think of it but how much do you think personality wise Stephanie is like her parents? Both in positive and negative traits? It seems at points that she defines herself by being as little like them as possible, but I do wonder if she picked up stubbornness from her dad and he willingness to help people from her mum (or at least, one would hope that as nurse Steph's mum was in the occupation to help people), but other than that she really is a black (or white?) sheep of her family. This is probably even more pronounced post-flashpoint when not even her mum is very redeemable.

You haven't read the "Search for a Hero" arc (Robin #175-182)? I mean, it is pretty forgettable, but it has its fans for being the last run of Tim as Robin.
Basically, it means she got shot by the General in the shoulder, and when she wakes up, he stiches her up, so her top is half off. She lets it slip further and says she is hot for him, and when he is distracted by the sight of so much Steph, she punches him and hits him with her grapple gun.
This is FabNic, who spent a lot of time in Red Robin playing "steal Tim's virginity", so I'm not surprised at the general distastefulness of this sequence.

I was taking pretty detailed notes, so I realized for the first time (though I have read this arc two or three times) just how incoherent the plotting is on these issues. So much of what happens is for effect, and makes no sense. Plus, the effect is all about making Tim into Batman (in the Titans of Tommorow mold), so that effect is pretty obnoxious.
