No one really knows and that article doesn't really have much substantial evidence. The cover to Gotham Underground also shows Azrael who is supposed to be "dead" and they don't even mention that.

Well, I'm not as bothered by it as I thought I'd be. Might be because I expected it, but in any case, at least Dixon might be writing her. He's the only writer that got me to like her.

Back when it was accounced Dixon was returning to Robin, he said he was bringing back two characters into Tim's life. One would surprise fans. One would really surprise fans. Spoiler was the first name mentioned. We just don't know if she's the surprise or the big surprise.

Leslie faking Steph's death would still be a bit.. crazy. But a bit more fairplay than y'know, sacrificing her to make a point that she knew would fall on deaf bat-ears.

If she's back or not, it should be a good book, right?

And that's why she is a surprise?

But yeah, I really never liked Arianna.

I agree completely; I think this could work.

I really don't think so; they're the ones who asked Metzger to kill him.

Hey, wouldn't it be cool if it was Tim's mom! (Not that I expect that to happen either.) Or maybe it's his step-mom?

If Spoiler does come back, there has to be a scene like this:

Robin: Bruce! Stephanie is alive!
Batman: Yeah, I know. Why did you think I never put up a memorial for her like for Jason?
Robin: What!? But you tracked Leslie down and were all "grr don't come back you murderer" and stuff?
Batman: Yeah, I just wanted to F with Leslie. Funny, right?

LMFAO. Oh man I'm laughing so hard at this comment right here. I can definitely see Batman doing that.

I had to look it up. Tim's parents were poisoned by a one-off villain called the Obeah Man. His mom died and his dad was in a coma. Perhaps we'll discover that his mom was also really in a coma?

And what happened to his step-mom? She was still around when Jack Drake was killed, wasn't she?

Cluemaster's not dead.

And Stephanie is back as your big surprise.

Honestly, bringing her back would be the only thing that could redeem that awful ending in that "war games" storyline.

Y'know...the one where Batman planned to kill people. :rolleyes:

If we're doing some retconning, let's do something with Leslie Thompson, shall we?

Now that I think about it, maybe one of the returning characters will be the Obeah Man himself. It's too unusual a comics character who has a loved one killed by someone doesn't ever get a rematch against that killer.

As I recall, that event threw her over the edge mentally, and she ended up in an institution. Nothing to say she couldn't get better, though.

Nothing would surprise me anymore. They brought back Jason Todd.
Mind you....maybe Stephanie could be a mental case like Jason....in a good way like Jason.

I never liked her though. Worst name, worst costume and pretty much worst all-round peripheral bat-character I can remember

^How do you know that? And when does Azrael show up? And is it JPV?

Cause he read it? What's so surprising about that? The book went on sale today.

The most we can say at the moment is that someone in a Spoiler costume is spying on Robin. Whether or not it's really Steph remains to be seen.

And when does Azrael show up? And is it JPV?

Dunno. But he hasn't shown up yet.

I never thought I'd see the day they bring her back. Glad to freakin' hear it.

i cant see her coming back in a mini'series like Gotham Underworld or Underground. If she were to come back it would be part of a major storyline in Batman, Detective or Robin.... or all 3, like Ra's al crap resurrected
