Several months ago, Robin's girlfriend Stephanie 'Spoiler' Brown was killed. The loss affect Tim quite badly in recent days, as he tries to recover from her betrayal and her death.
But you can't keep a good Boy Wonder down and sooner or later he's going to get back on the perverbal horse of dating.
So this weeks poll is, who will Tim most like start dating in the comics?**
Will it be...
Batgirl III (Cassandra Cain) who now resides in Bludhaven. The signs of sexual tension has been quite obvious whenever Tim and Cass work together, and they have grown quite closer in recent months. Batman said it best: "They compliment each other." Tim's the brains and Cass is the brawn. They work well together in and out of costume. And of course there is the whole 'Batgirl-Robin' thing.
Or...
Speedy II (Mia Dearden) who has recently joined the Teen Titans. Mia, like Tim is a normal human with now super-human powers. She's also smart, skilled and she and Tim have a lot in common, since both of them are wearing the mantels of their heroes and feel the immense pressure that comes with them. Not to mention Robin would be very understanding in way of her HIV status.
Or...
Flamebird (Bette Kane) who was prophecized to be Robin's girlfriend in the now debunked 'Future Titans' storyline. This one seems... unlikely since Bette has been obsessed with Dick 'Nightwing' Grayson since forever, and she's like 10 years old than Tim.
Or...
Someone new? A new character made specifically for Robin's comic.
And yes, I know I didn't put Secret, Arrowette or Supergirl on the list.
I wanted to list Cissie and Greta but unfortunately DC has no plans of re-introducing them as anything other than small cameos at Wonder Girl's school from time to time in Teen Titans and even that will be really rare.
And Supergirl with Robin has often been joked about ever since Dick Grayson's days in the Pre-Crisis universe, but until Kara gets more exposure, I doubt she'll be hooking up with anyone. So any chance of her being Robin's new girl, is slim-to-none.
Overall, I'm sticking with girls who are active in the comics, 'pre-destined' and thus have better chances.
**Note: I said Comics, not the RPG.
I'm voting for a new character. I think it will be a non-hero specifically created for the role.
I still think that Superboy and Batgirl totally rock together, but since it seems like SB's taken with Cassie(not that it's a bad thing), Batgirl and Robin would be the next best thing.
But...But...Greta!! They should bring back Greta and they can live in a little house with a white picket fence and roses round the door and have twin boys called Bruce and Alfred and three girls called Barbra, Richettea and Cassandra and a little dog called Batboy!!
I know Lani. We all miss Greta. (A dog named Batboy...?)
But my vote goes with Batgirl III. Tim and Cass work so well together and they do compliment one another as hero and friends. And if you read the recent BATGIRL 21-22 there some teenaged kid with blue eyes following Batgirl around her neighborhood to make certain she was okay. Its believed to be Tim since he's the only teen boy who know about Batgirl's life in Bludhaven and was relieved to see her get home safe and sound.
