It does seem Morrison is a bit perturbed with DC - the reboot really did put a wrench in the status quo he was trying to build - he was making Cass Cain a viable character with a new moniker which Snyder embraced and used in Gates of Gotham. While Dick was going to stop being Batman the fact he decided to keep it was great - Batman Inc was about multiple Batmans anyway why limit it to just Bruce now?
He gave Stephanie Brown Batgirl a WONDERFUL chance of finally working with Bruce again, her issue of Inc was surely meant to "solidify" her role as Batgirl (though her Road Home one was pretty much that too). She was never as high as Batgirl as that, which makes it that much sadder since they literally pulled the rug out from underneath her just as she was narrative-wise FINALLY THERE. The fact he treated her so well (when female characters aren't always his strengths per se) was also terribly cool.
He was pushing Oracle to shift from pressing a button and make it explode type hacker, to give her a Major Motoko digital dive into the net makeover (though the art for that book was atrocious) - effectively making her surely in future stories appear mobile but still be disabled and regardless still making a difference. Barbara was this amazing Bat Goddess in Leviathan Strikes and now she's just "part of the batfamily" did she even do anything remarkable in Death of A Family outside of her own books tie-in issues? She's just "there" in group shots.
He's tried and tried apparently to use both Cassandra and Steph and editorial won't allow it. Killing Knight seems pretty spiteful though not too out there - it's a shame though Knight and Squire are very, very funny.
Him killing Damian would effectively pretty much take out the last bit of his run as all his other attempts and revamps and whatnot have been pretty much gutted. I wouldn't be surprised if he killed Talia too.
Though things DO seem to be circling back to this R.I.P. type cycle and I have a feeling Damian might not die, we are just being lead to believe it so, just as we were all manipulated to think Batman died.
I truly do not want Harper to be Robin as some people have suggested though, I feel that is such horrible timing and very misguided of DC when fans want Cass and Steph to come back and their wants are promptly ignored.
