Oh, I thought that happened first in Cass's own book. I stand corrected then - the first bit sucked balls. :( I try and forget it ever happened, actually.
To be fair, Beechen said it was an editorial mandate, in which case there was really no way it could have been gracefully done by any writer. I do fly into fits of rage whenever I remember Batgirl:OYL, but at the same time I genuinely enjoyed most of his run on Robin, so IDEK. =(
