Then Starlin featured Lady Shiva in Death in the Family and Dixon crowbarred her into Robin and Knightsend and all bets were off. Because once you're in popular Batman story like those, fuck it, you're a Batman character, now and forever. And then they did it again with Hush just in case.
Meanwhile, Ostrander put Bronze Tiger into Suicide Squad and he was mostly fine for decades
until the New 52.
