Hey guys, great episode. I just had to react about the Batgirl freak-out everyone's been having. In 'Batman: the Return', Bruce shows Barbara his plans for her in the whole Batman inc team regrouping speech. He basically says she will become cyber batgirl they even show a picture of her in a new suit, with a bicicle behind her. Don't you just think she'll be the Batgirl in the internet 3.0? That way she doesn't have to be miraculously healed and the Killing Joke will still be in continuity...
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, have trust in the reboot, they won't fuck up.

Thanks, and thanks for listening Gerard!
ReplyDeleteThat internet 3.0 idea scares me because it seems like the creators might not be on the same page as editorial. In that message DC released about the relaunch they specifically said she was going to go through rehab, and that was one way her character would become more interesting. There is a chance he could be referring to some sort of virtual reality training where Barbara is mentally "activating" her atrophied muscles, but this has every chance of coming across as a cop-out, and a way for them to easily affect "soft change" with the character.
The message also said that "The Killing Joke" would still be in continuity, so I'm not too worried there. More than anything I just want the decisions to be supported by well-written stories. My biggest fear, I guess, is that it might be impossible (for me, as a reader) to see anything they do as equally interesting as Barbara as Oracle.
Thanks again for listening!
