Hell yea Cassandra Cain!  She reminds me a bit now of that Backlash character from the Wildstorm universe actually.

Don't know if I like this 'softer' Bruce either yet, but I think Tim hit the nail on the head by calling him a "humanized" Bruce Wayne now.  I for one am looking forward to this whole Batman Inc. thing coming up as well.

Really didn't make sense that Tim would spring Lynx out of custody in plain sight like that, and then worry about not disabling the rooftop security cameras after already being incriminated by what he did; you'd have to think those actions would really make Red Robin an outlaw to the authorities.

Was passing on this series because the art didn't completely suit my taste, i.e., it wasn't passing the flip test, but Marcus To's stuff impressed me this issue, despite not being a really big fan of the Red Robin costume itself.  Am curious now about this Lynx character as well, and how things led up to her association with Tim...may have to check out the back issues now.

Btw, isn't Dick the Red Robin in Kingdom Come?  Regardless, his existence in the DCU currently made it all the more compelling to me that the powers that be want KC to be the prevailing future of the DCU, even though I'd prefer it to be The Dark Knight Returns/Strikes Again.
