this is starting to feel like an Eastwood joint

The good: It looks like Dick and Jay are each getting their own title.

The bad: Putting Babs back in the mask is one of the dumbest things DC has done to date, and not just because Steph does not deserve this shit.

The ugly: If there's something worse than Judd Winick getting his hands on Selina Kyle, I can't think of it at the moment.

So. Mixed feelings about so much. I'm not going to stop buying Bat comics: I *can't*. And I don't think the reboot is going to make me *completely* unhappy. But there's so much that *is* going to make me unhappy, that I just...

I don't know. I don't know how to feel about any of it, really.

Wait, we're getting a canonical team of Jason/Roy/Kori? I may forgive DC yet.

Except, for, ugh, removing Oracle. And Steph. It's not that I mind the idea of Babs-as-Batgirl stories; I'd love to see some of those. It's that I don't want Oracle gone, and Steph is amazing and I cannot see Babs pulling off the same level of reining in Damian's sociopathic impulses, and what, are they going to de-age Babs to 17? 21? and I don't want Oracle gone... (Maybe Steph will still be Batgirl and the first few issues will be Babs flashbacks & history issues? I can hope?)

I'm relatively indifferent to Selina, for which I am grateful, because I know that I'm gonna hate a lot of what they do with characters I care about.
