DC: Oh, we remembered we actually had a functional family with a preteen in it who has been consistently appearing in comics for over 20 years.
Nothing's more tension building than breaking up families! So let's kill Roy for a little while, then we can shift that annoying preteen onto a bus. Because children are so aging for a superhero.
General response: Yeah, taking one of the things that makes Roy unique and ruining it. Great plan, all round.
Other general response: YOU'RE MESSING WITH LIAN? KILLKILLKILL!
