Well, jeez, if THOSE experts say it… Actually, you are wrong. When this first came up, the story, the ‘myth’, was that Bryan was forced to use Barbara. Bryan told me that wasn’t the case…he could have used Cass or Helena, he chose Barbara. And I am baffled about the defending dc thing, my sympathies here lie with Bryan, who has to rewrite, and with the readers, who are justifiably disappointed. Bryan choosing Barbara doesn’t make the story any less disappointing for Steph fans.

Gail I’ll be honest I’m shocked he could have chosen Cass, given that the response to when will Cass come back is pretty much the same answer to when will we see Steph back.

In any case if what you say is true, then that contradicts what Dan said in San Diego

“That is true, and there’s a reason for it,” DiDio said in response to the fan’s question, noting that he supported the change from the original plan, as it falls in line with the Smallville practice of bringing the iconic versions of DC heroes into that television world. “If we’re going to introduce a character into the ‘Smallville’ world, I want them to be the most iconic versions like Barbara Gordon or Dick Grayson, and maybe down the road we can do more.”

That doesn’t fit with what Bryan is saying. 

Understood…I misread the letter because I was ON A BOAT. he said possibly Katana, not Cass. Sorry, same thing applies tough, they would have to do some redrawing, I imagine.
