[20 Apr 12] Undeclared?

:shock:

"Naïve" and "Oracle" are not concepts that go well together in my head, even if she's gone back to the cowl.

Agreed. It's funny, but Barbara Gordon as Batgirl is hardly a "newbie". She was fighting crime in a batsuit years before Batwoman came into existence, and then spent even more time as Oracle. So that part doesn't really make sense.

I still enjoyed the comic, though.

Welcome to my world, Temperance...at least my world before I got my hair cut short. Razzin frazzin thin hair...

Given how often all of it's been retconned, restarted, reimagined, and so forth. . .Barbara Gordon is not only a newbie, she's also her own mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and daughter.

Aggie would be Batwoman . . .

And here's something of an explanation why:

Wait wait... Aggie is Lebanese?

She did say it was a fan's rendition. Said fan could have been working on limited information, and exaggerating what they saw. (Faust gave us Friendship is Magic, which is a wonderful thing, so I'm inclined to have a little faith in her- though to be fair, I don't follow DC, so I'm not nearly as invested in these characters as some of the others of you? But I do trust Faust, so I recommend having a look at the show itself before going all OMGOOC or whatever. Not that you were... I just remember the whole My Little Homophobic Smartshaming whatever blablabla debacle that came from someone only seeing a tiny bit- and only what they wanted to see in that. Call it a pre-emptive strike? I'ma stop now, I'm just confusing myself.)

Ahahahahahahaha. That's an excellent point, and it must make for a relatively small (and extremely awkward) Gordon family reunion.

That's fair. I haven't seen the show, so it's possible that Barbara Gordon in that continuity IS a newbie (although I find that difficult to imagine). Even if she's not, it's still an awesome comic, and I'm not anywhere near enough of a comic nerd (I haven't read that many) to be upset by it. Plus I'm really excited about Batwoman (I read the first few comics) and her backstory and the fact that she is a lesbian but that's not the be-all, end-all of her character, so I don't mind if she gets to be the knowledgeable experienced one.

Super BFF isn't in continuity with the comics...heck given that it's a series of 1 minute gag shorts, it's arguably not in continuity with itself. Barbara is a teenager living with her father - no sign of Jimmy or either of Jim's wives. She's best friends with Supergirl and Wonder Girl, who are about the same age. Batwoman doesn't appear. Nor do Batman, Wonder Woman, or Superman (and of the lot, only Wonder Woman is even mentioned). Or Robin. Or anyone else other than the core trio, and Commissioner Gordon (who has a brief appearance when Barbara's waiting for him to go to sleep so she can go out and Batgirl it up).

Oh, I certainly hope that they show some of the others. . .it'll be fun

Well, the duo of Batgirl/Supergirl is at least consistent with the DCAU, Wonder Girl(A word or two?) seems like a logical extension. And Poison Ivy has made a token appearance, so who knows who else will show up.

I honestly didn't recognize Temperance at first. I'm like, "NEW CHARACTER!!11!" and then I popped into this thread and was all "...oh. My memory sucks." (Which it does.)

Power Girl, hopefully. As the boisterous "LET'S GO WHIP SOME BAD GUY ASS WHOOOOOOOOOOOO" one of the group. And hopefully with normal sized boobs.
