Actually, no. I can see Batman making the training even a bigger pain than it would be otherwise because he was pissy, but I can't see him deliberately snapping the ankle of a teenager in his charge because he was upset, regardless of whether or not they'd get better. (Unless he was written by Frank Miller.) IMO, that's crossing the line between tough love and sadism. And from the way Misfit was acting, it wasn't the first time Babs did something like that. In fact, she complained about Babs taking out her bad mood on her by breaking her bones in training, just because she got better fast.

I liked the inclusion of Barda and Manhunter into the ranks, and Lady Blackhawk worked in her initial role, but the book was at its best when it was Babs and Dinah (and then when Helena was in on shaky ground), with the occasional supporting cast. But even having Helena so close and chummy isn't quite "right."
