“Blüdhaven. My new home. Nightwing once called it…"Gotham’s wicked little stepsister.” I didn’t…get it. He was…surprised. He told me the story. Cinderella. He…acted all the parts. That made me laugh.”

Tim finally spills the beans because Alfred immediately smells his bs. And you can read on his face that he is thinking about going home as fast as possible to help Tim.

Every new issue of this comic is just more panels of them being a married couple. You can tell they’ve been dealing with each other’s shit for years

the absolute tonal contrast between joker's last laugh the storyline (a pretty sober drama centered on the batfam, particularly barbara and dick, dealing with guilt, hypervigilance, and lingering trauma and wrestling with the limitations of the no-kill rule) and joker's last laugh the crossover event (which is about random characters getting ~jokerized~ and acting all jokery! haha! scary!)

Starfire and Blackfire might be my favorite example of Doomed Siblings in all of Media (specifically in the New Teen Titans iteration) because the narrative doesn't pick a side.

The feud between them is just so painful and stretches so far back. Starfire is wrong because she never recognizes Blackfire's abuse, and sides with her parents (Blackfire's abusers) over her sister, over, and over, and over. Blackfire is wrong because she became an abuser and quite legitimately tormented Starfire for things that their parents did to both of them, when Starfire was honestly and earnestly trying to love their sister. Their parents started it, Blackfire made it worse, Starfire doesn't really see Blackfire as a complex human being but it's understandable because her sister grew up hurting her for things that weren't her fault, the sister she tried so hard to love that she still has a hole in her heart about it.

Oh, but Blackfire's parents were totally wrong about her and she did make a better ruler for Tamaran in spite of her disability. If her parent's had just accepted her in the first place the whole chain of misery could be avoided.

(It's also one of the few doomed siblings plotlines I'd be completely okay with the two of them never reconciling, like if Starfire walks away from Blackfire and never forgives her, well Blackfire did unforgivable things. However, the narrative stresses too that it's still wrong of Starfire to not recognize Blackfire's abuse, because she's still a person who had her dignity trampled on and suffered).

If you as the reader want to see them reconcile still, or if you as the reader just want to see Starfire get the fuck away from Blackfire, I think both reactions are valid and the narrative supports both without taking sides - that's how nuanced it is.
