I'd be kind of heartbroken if Dick died, but it's comics! They always come back! Especially when 'they' are the first Robin and half the world's favourite and have been around for decades. It's not like killing him would make his life much worse right now, anyway. :D It would've been neat if Batman and Superman both lost someone, too, definitely.

Cass... is totally channelling half of the readers, isn't she? I was pretty sure that was what Robin was about. Being a pretty, mouthy distracto-boy in revealing clothing and all. I really don't believe in evil assassin Cass, but it might be interesting to watch until they write it out. :D

I'd read a bit of the Bruce & Talia's son thing, which. What? Batman doesn't seem like the type who'd have sex, ever lots of kids--wouldn't he be way too cautious? And also too busy to have much sex at all? It is very wrong when Batman has more children than Green Arrow. I will also sit here WTFing over Bruce adopting Tim.

Huntress/Tim would be... really great. :D Tim works well with women who would kick his ass. I'd consider a professional relationship to be pretty warm coming from Oracle, though.

I'm possibly way biased over Spoiler--she's my favourite Bat-character, and my second-favourite Robin. :D But I actually flipped through the War Drums trade last night, and it really felt like he meant it--not like he was trying to get back at Tim or to set her up to get her out of the business for good, but like he thought they could make her into a good Robin. I mean, Batman's had some really nice interaction with Spoiler in the past, and this felt a lot like a reprise of that, if interspersed with some Bat-assholery (and resolving in WTF, don't you know better by now, man?). But, er, as I said. Biased.
