How did Donna Troy die? (And why is there no mention of it in the Nightwing continuity, given that they were good friends?)
I remember a conversation in Nightwing between Dick and Babs where she alludes to his relationship with Donna.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Please note how far we've gone without even mentioning sexuality.
She got very far without mentioning sexuality.

IIRC, the blue chick killed her. (Indigo)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Donna Troy was killed by that strange computer girl in The Outsiders, except she (not Wonder Girl) was a Superman robot at the time. It's why the previous TT disbanded.
I can't accurately answer the Kory question without the comics in front of me.

There's a couple of places where they talk about his being friends with Donna. Which is why I was surprised that her being dead didn't come up.
Do I need to read The Outsiders too?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Whereas Dick had him, Bruce had no one.
What about Alfred? There's probably backstory and characterization I'm missing here.
Wow, that chick's brains are fucking hot.

Yes. It's very gay.

Many thanks for the link upthread to the Devin Grayson interview! It was a wonderful read. I haven't read her comics, but I enjoyed reading her Smallville book, 'City'.

OK, now you guys are makin' shit up.

Okay. Here's how I think it went: Indigo travelled back in time to the 21st century, and in the process of seeking out other robotic life, was using a Superman robot to repair herself (after having apparently attacked Cyborg, but really it was a wacky misunderstanding). Donna Troy was killed during this process.
Kory seems to have been talked back into the Titans by Gar. She's very cranky, and is probably going to kill and eat the Super Dog.
