Hey remember that time when a GCS/BOP team up ended with the day being saved by giving aerosolized estrogen to everyone?

Poison Ivy: Okay, hear me out, what if we just forcefem all of Gotham? Leslie Thompkins: Sounds good let's do it.

#Yes i know that's not what they did but it's funnier to phrase it that way #batgirl and the birds of prey #birds of prey #poison ivy #leslie thompkins

I read volume 1 of Batgirl and the Birds of Prey (2016) (because it had Huntress on the cover and I was curious) and am of mixed opinions about it.

The thing is, part of me really wants to like Gus Yale, aka Oracle. He has a number of factors going for him that I like in a superhero character. The idea of a person looking and going "I haven't seen X hero around, but I really admired them and don't think that legacy should disappear." is something that I really like. I have an OC who has basically that backstory. It's pretty similar to what Tim Drake has going on and I really like that about him. It's an element present in Steel's origin story.

Like this part here, I find this compelling:

But I never lost hope So I waited. And waited. But Oracle never acme back. Then it hit me. Since no one knew who Oracle was, anyone could be Oracle.

I think, on face value, 'superhero disappears and someone else steps up to take their place' is a fun story arc. The question being though, can you make it work with Barbara as Oracle? Which is, ehhh, why isn't she Oracle? With the whole magicure disability thing, it isn't a great look. I could maybe see this type of storyline working in a story where Oracle gets fakeout killed but really just has amnesia or is lost in time or something because then it's temporary and less fridge-y. But here, it's eh, the subtext isn't great.

And like, the other thing about Gus as Oracle is that he is introduced as an antagonist initially. The inciting even of this arc is Barbara discovering that there's someone else calling themself Oracle who's selling information to mob. He's framed as a creepy stalker who has a collection of stuff of hers like her library card and her old glasses. Tim is also introduced as a stalker who has a rather extreme level of investment in Batman and Robin and Dick Grayson in particular, but it feels different. Tim is supposed to be the new Robin and I think in a way that I can't quite articulate, that means that narrative treats his with more grace. It feels more earnest and less creepy. Gus as being a young adult obsessed with a young woman who is out of his league and unaware of him, also has these iffy tones to it.

This is the first time we see him:

(The fact that Gus is black, in relation to all the rest of this, also feels not great to me, but I feel less qualified to comment on that.)

And then, of course, there's this, which just feels unessarily mean-sprirted and meta, and also kind of manipulative in the way that we're clearly supposed to disagree with him as a gut reaction:

But if I'm being honest… I liked you better as Oracle

The fact he gets a more positive framing later and ends up working with them, doesn't change any of the things about his inital introductions. Introductions are important. And then, at the of issue 6, he's implied to be involved in something more sinister.

It just. I don't like it; it doesn't work for me.

On a more positive note: I did like most of the Huntress content. It's not one of the top Huntress comics by any means, but it was fun. Serviceable enough. I did like the twist that her mom survived. While I think, ultimately, it's more compelling if she's the only one to survive, her mother also being alive and thinking she's the sole survivor has a lot of fun storytelling potential. I do think that Helena's ultimate decision to not kill the man who'd ordered her family's deaths didn't exactly work for me, but yeah, I think she largely worked. I also liked the art style.
