Dick and Kory grew together so naturally and they were perfect counterparts to each other. Not the same, but opposites. Whereas Dick and Babs are much more alike than they are different. Being with Babs kept Dick in the Bat-ghetto whereas with Kory Dick got to stretch his wings with the wider DCU. I think it's a very crucial part of Dick's character that he is not just a Bat-character. He's half and half. 50% Bat 50% DCU. And having him together with Kory is one way to reinforce that. When he was with Babs it was like his whole Titans/DCU angle was being swept under the carpet like they were embarrassed of the fact that the character had half his life outside Gotham. Cement him with Kory so that he can never again be relegated to just being in the Bat-titles but takes his rightful place in the center of the DCU. Really excited about this.

I guess DC editorial wants to keep on beating this dead horse over & over. Starfire has proven herself to be a capable individual character, holding her own in 52 with two characters she never teamed with before and came through fantastically. She proved to be a strong force in COSMIC ODYSSEY. She was at the forefront in the early stages of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS. She's a powerhouse that belongs on the Justice League and doesn't have to always be in a Titans book or doing this romance thing with Grayson. Give Starfire a chance to shine without Grayson--either put her in a high profile book or give her a miniseries where she can be used as an individual rather than be Grayson's boomeranging girlfriend. The romance between Grayson and Kory has dragged on too long. DC, drop this already and move on. Kory is nearly as powerful as Diana and Karen, so give her some credit and build up on her--don't keep making Kory a "sidekick" to Grayson. It's time she broke away from that image and be a real superheroine that commands respect from her opponents and allies. I’m so sick of this.

While I really love the character of Barbara Gordon, she and Dick make for a very boring couple. The passion and love I want to see is with Kory. This picture is AWESOME !! I am trying not to get my hopes up but I would love it if these two finally got back together. Who would have ever thought we'd see Batman kissing Starfire ? Very cool !

I'm sick of the back and forth, tug of war between the two. Make Kory a more prominent character in her own series or something of the sort and give her another love interest, or do what everyone has been expecting all along and have Dick and Kory just get married already.

Dick and Babs were always way too stiff together for me, brought out the worst in each other....I hope this isn't a tease. I'd love to see Dick and Starfire get back together, whether he be Nightwing or Batman. Beautiful artwork!

What this will mean for the status quo of the Batman titles is still unknown but the response on DC’s blog so far seems pretty positive. Check it here.
