As to Time Drake/Red Robin, the description of Teen Titans is, "Tim Drake is forced to step out from behind his keyboard when an international organization seeks to capture or kill super-powered teenagers. As Red Robin, he must team up with the mysterious and belligerent powerhouse thief known as Wonder Girl and a hyperactive speedster calling himself Kid Flash."So, Wonder Girl is totally rebooted and it sounds like Tim was never Robin and this is the first time he's meeting the other characters.  And Kid Flash is Bart Allen, Flash is Barry Allen, and Wally is...I don't think they've said if he even exists now.As for Batgirl, I have no idea if she was ever Oracle, but I think I read that they were making her younger.  I'm honestly not certain on that one.So it's a hard reboot on some things, soft reboot on others, but they are going to carry over everything written by Morrison and Johns but it's supposed to make things less confusing. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
