The way batman and co comics from the 80s up until flashpoint had so much weight and depth to them. Like whether it was in a batman comic or a separate comic, there was so much depth and complexity and emotion in the comics.

Now I read the most recent ones and it really feels like reading a hollow shell.

#this is very specifically about the recent Batgirls series #i have the first volume rn and i really want to enjoy it because Stephanie's run on Batgirl was my first favorite comic series #for years her two Batgirl volumes were the only comics i owned #and cass' Batgirl series is also so important to me overall. i struggled to read it at first but payoff when i finally understood it #i want to like the new series i really really do #but i just cant get into it #some of that does have to do with the cyber villian because i don't usually find any appeal in cyber villian stories #but regardless all three of the Batgirls just feel like shallow iterations of their pre-flashpoint selves #its not all recent comics though #ive definitely enjoyed quite a few #but sometimes its just sad to see beautiful deep characters smoothed out to be more palatable and understandable on a surface level #for either no reason or maybe for new readers idk
