I should really be sleeping....
Sooooo, what do we think of the "DCU reboot"? If you don't already know, in September they will be relaunching the DCU with new costumes, new origins, and new characters, and 52 titles restarting at issue #1.

*headtilt* What do you hate about Tim's characterization in Red Robin, if I might ask? Your certainly not the only person I've heard this opinion from, but... I adore Tim in Red Robin, it's probably my favorite title.
If Dick is Nightwing, there's a good chance Tim will be Robin... maybe maybe maybe Steph will be Spoiler? I dunno where that leaves Cass, though. DDDD: And yeah, just don't even get me started on the portrayal of female characters in the DCU, just... [insert rant of FEMINIST RAAAAAAAAAAGE here].
Their continuity really is fucked up. I hope they take this opportunity to do things right and not contradict themselves all the time. I know it's hard with so many writers in so many titles over such a long period of time, but... try harder DC, honestly. Star Trek manages just fine.
Maybe something really good will come out of it. Like...Jason, Damian, Cass, Tim and Steph all live at the manor and ( ... )

...Okay, yeah, that's valid. I mean, I'm totally on Tim's side and not Azrael's, and I think everyone in the Batfamily has worked off any debt of sin they might have and then some, but none of them are perfect. If they were, they wouldn't be interesting.
I mostly find myself amused by Tim's collection of ladies. I mean, he's incredibly responsible and mature for his age, but he is seventeen, and that comes with hormones. I am a bit annoyed with him about the Lynx thing, though. Just... no, Timmy, no, that is a Bad Idea anyway you look at it. Please show some self-restraint? You know, that thing you're usually so good at? Kindly stop making out with the Gang Leader of Ambiguous Moral Quality. Feel free to date Tam. She would be good for you.

I haven't seen any news about Tim, Jason, Cass, or Steph yet, but it seems like that'll be coming out later today. Barbara is definitely back to being Batgirl, which makes me wonder if they'll finally clean up that messy girl Robin once and for all, which would make me so sad. Dick seems to be Nightwing, although in a much more Tim/Batman Beyond-like costume.
To be honest, what has surprised me most with this news is how unchanged most things are. I feel uncomfortable putting it this bluntly, but it looks like on the whole the awesome male characters are making it through pretty much ( ... )

Hmmm, she also says, "when someone asked about Gates of Gotham (I forgot the writer's name---too lazy to look it up)he said he couldn't be more excited. Gates of Gotham will have an issue revolving around Damian's 'betrayal'. Nobody knows what that means, but it's supposed to happen after the reboot thing." So, uh, now that we know Damo is Bruce's Robin, um. That's interesting.
Where did you get all of that information?

And oh, I can't find Cass or Steph anywhere, and I'm heartbroken. :(
