So, we learnt today that Barbara Gordon is "moving away from the Bat Family" to have her own lighter, fun adventures.
Also, yesterday, the first issue of the series where Dick Grayson moves away from the Bat Family to have his own lighter, fun adventures came out.
Which, don't get me wrong, I'm all for. Batgirl needed retooling, and Grayson #1 was terrific.
But that's the Bat Family Grandees off the table. Or, at least, the conventional ones - unavailable for Bat Events, family meetings, and so on.... The kind of "togtherness" that Scott Snyder loves pulling.
And, of course, Robin is dead.
Wayne Manor is going to be repossessed - and used to house The Crazies after Arkham is destroyed.
Are we seeing the birth of Generation Two? After all, spinning out of Eternal we'll have Spoiler, Bluebird, and a re-integrated Red Robin in Gotham. We might end up with Damian back - but whether or not that's something that can be taken to be status quo in other books will remain to be seen.
Is the stage being set for a revamp of Gotham, it's characters and their lives?
