Me buying the Bishoujo Kotobukiya statues of Batgirl, Harley Quinn New 52 version and The Huntress because I want to collect the Birds of Prey and why not?.
if every DC writer could read DC first: batgirl/joker that’d be great
even in just the last few pages it really nails their dynamic and the meaning of the batgirl mantle. Cass more than anything has a deep seated need to prove herself. shes competitive and babs knows this
THESE PANELS RIGHT HERE!! THIS WAS THE WHOLE POINT!!
“you’re going to make people forget me and thats okay” GOD I WISH
more than anything the batgirl mantle is about needing to prove yourself be it to the men in your life (babs), to the readers (cass), or to the writers (steph)
this is why babsgirl doesn’t really work anymore. babs has proved she’s capable as oracle she doesn’t need the batgirl mantle anymore. batgirl was the first name cass was given and it was someone else’s—thats not inherently a bad thing. it gives her a reason to keep fighting and it suits her natural need of competition.
anyways if you aren’t gonna read Batgirl 2000 at the very least read DC first: batgirl/joker
