Red Robin and Yellow Batgirl...

New comics in the Batman line. Interesting case of 'compare and contrast'.

The first, I read because I am interested in Stephanie Brown. She was, briefly, Robin, before Batman fired her for disobeying his orders and saving his life. She was bright, she was smart, she was tough, she was entertaining - and Batman was in the wrong, but he got Tim ( Read more... )

I don't think that infiltrating the League of Assassins was the point of Tim's travels. Rā's just decided to horn in on Tim's search for proof of Bruce's survival for his own reasons, once he figured out that such was Tim's goal.

I'll admit to being still somewhat on the fence about the new Batgirl series, having gotten used to Cassandra Cain as much as anyone else by this point.

Oh, I agree. I was oversimplifying, not to make a long story of it. Tim's real search is for Bruce, but now he has an extra quest. At least, that's how I read it. Haven't read Red Robin #1, 2, or 3.

I didn't like Cassandra Cain and I'm happy to see her gone - wasn't reading her adventures anyway. But Stephanie Brown, I loved as Robin, and wanted to see her doing cool stuff again.

As it was, I dropped the comic from my subscription, and I think I'll pick up Red Robin instead.

Please can you fix the html in this message? It's a bit confusing to read as it stands.
