Something happened to Tim? Great.

What I'm upset about is how DC Editorial (at least) has been treating Stephanie Brown. She (to my knowledge) hasn't been in the New 52 and Brian Q. Millar, who is writing the Smallville continuation comic, announced that Stephanie Brown was going to be Nightwing in that conntinuity.

Now, Didio, says that Stephanie is being replaced by Barbara Gordon because they only want to use the most iconic characters. So there are now five diffrent takes on Barbara Gordon over at DC and none on Stephanie Brown. It just feels kind of mean-spirited.

Though Stephanie isn't the only one.

That is really disappointing. Tim is my favorite Robin.

On the brightside, at least Tim is still around. Unlike Wally West, for example.

Oh, sweet new Batwoman comic!

I'm still a couple issues behind, but I'm hoping to catch up today and tomorrow.

No Stephanie? I'm not much of a comic reader (only for lack of money) but I like Steph! This sucks somewhat... I'm still not happy with the reboot, AT ALL.

Tell me about it. It looks like there's someone at DC who dislikes Steph (and Cassandra Cain) and is stopping people from using her.

We are getting some good fanart from Steph fans though:
