Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Once I got over the "who is this BATGIRL???" issue, yeah, it was all love. Well, and the book 2 art.

"who is this BATGIRL???"
That was kind of part of my enjoyment of NML, actually.

I'd just binged on 40-odd issues of Cassandra Cain, and had fallen desperately in love. My time sense was completely off, and I was worried that the stuff I'd loved about her was being undone.
That fear was completely assuaged, and I really liked what I got when I stopped being so anxious. It was a stressful couple books, though.

Art Crawl!!!
Damn, Teppy -- how did I miss that? And is Red X something that happened in the comics?
Also -- JLU - who is the guy without a face? And Supergirl lives with the Kents?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Sumi, I've not seen JLU, but from what I've seen, the guy without a face is the Question, a sort of Vigilante type with a very Randian world view. And while I'm not sure which version of Supergirl they're using, most versions have indeed spent time living with the Kents (as Superboy does now.) It's sort of "Super" initiation thing. "You can join the society of superpeople, but first you must prove you vcan survive ... the very nice old people!

Sumi, the Jason Todd reference was on the blackboard that BB whipped out when he was spouting off his theories.
And I haven't read much of the previous runs of Teen Titans, so I don't know if Red X was in them. But I know the current comics haven't gone that way.
And in JLU, I have no idea who faceless dude is. And I don't know if Supergirl lives with the Kents.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The clone looks a hell a lot like Powergirl

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
sumi, metatext answer: The Question was Steve Ditko's whackaloon liberterian (not in the Victor way) vigilante character. Rorschach in Watchmen is somewhat based on him.
