>>152193145Bette Kane was an agent of Spyral, just like her Aunt Kathy.Bat-Girl was weak, caught feelings, and leaked Spyral secrets to Robin. So Kathy hypnos'd her into retardation, hypnos'd Robin too, and faked the death of Batwoman for good measure.Timing works -- this happened in the late 1970s, in between the Rozakis Teen Titans run where Bat-Girl and Robin reconnect, and the Detective Comics issue where Bronze Tiger kills Batwoman. It aligns with the Morrison and Seeley takes on Spyral. It happened.
>>152193728What about Titans West?
>>152193728Interesting
>>152193751The original Titans West is the arc in the Rozakis run. Her last Bat-Girl appearance before the mind-wipe.You get Titans West in Perez's post-crisis Teen Titans Secret Origin annual, which is just minor flashbacks and introducing Flamebird.There's the one-off Titans West reunion in the Kesels' Hawk and Dove series, which turned her into a promiscuous ditz. This can be cast as a symptom of the Hypnos brainwashing.Then there's the Geoff Johns and Devin Grayson Titans West from the late 90s early 00s where Bette is struggling to be taken seriously and shake the image of incompetence. This can be cast as her fighting off the brainwashing.So what's the problem?
>>152193728Ooooh. Interesting.
>>152193728You could even tie it back to 2024's Nightwing Annual, with Bea finding out there's a long history of Spyral agents getting assigned to Dick Grayson and accidentally falling for him. That she's at least number 4. If Huntress and Agent 8 are two of them, who is the third?
>>152193728VERY interesting!
