And Queen Lana has spoken, it is officially the end of that horrid rumor.
Apart from character development and narrative reasons that folks have laid out here, I am additionally hoping that it’s not Robin because the fandom’s reaction to the spoilers has been so off-the-wall, bat-guano crazy that not having it be Robin would at least momentarily shut up the gossip warriors. Well, maybe it would. Ye gods, who are these people and where did they crawl out of? *shakes head*
