the only reason any member of the batclan is alive is because of plot armor, all it would take for most super beings to kill them is a flick of the wrist.

The only rational thing Cass, Steph or Tim should do when faced with a super threat is pick up the batphone and call Kon and Kara. Tim has the Titans on speed-dial, there isn't a single threat in Gotham that can stand up to that.

Everytime people talk about the wheelchair I think about Yost's Red Robin where Barbara took out a whole ninja squad in her wheelchair and think wow, why even bother?
>>
>>143215457
>>143215510
Like these idiots? What magic powers do you think the chair has? And I know you're gonna say some dumb bullshit how the chair makes her unique but that makes you idiots because Oracle being defined by her wheelchair just makes her a token.
>>
>>143215587
the chair stops batgirl from being an option and focuses full time on the much more important and useful oracle. That's its whole purpose. She doesn't "need" to be in the chair but writers can't help themselves otherwise
>>
>>143215587
"Batgirl who Oracles sometimes" has been awful so bring back the chair.
>>
>>143215630
>the chair stops batgirl from being an option
But that's not a good thing, it's just a thing that promise any better stories featiromg oracle.
And if you care really cared about a useful Batgirl then wouldn't Babs still edge both cass and steph out?
Being both Brains and Brawn?
>>
>>143215681
I don't even know how we're watching this conclusion when the opposite is so obvious? Like when you have to split the story focus for oracle watchtower observer duties and the frontline where the physical action is taking place means the person sitting at the computer is doing something less interesting then facing the physical threat.
>>
>>143215527
Why bother what?
>>
>>143215798
When even bother keeping her in the chair if she can fight an entire Ninja assassin squad. At that point writers are no longer dealing with the physical reality of being in the wheelchair.
Like she didn't just cleverly lead them into a booby trap, she physical fought them off while reamining in the chair.
>>
>>143215701
it is a good thing because they can't half-ass either role that way. In general they should go all in on a role and stick with it but people will probably always have a problem with Batgirl because it's straight up a lesser role than what Oracle was, outside of people with a fetish for redheads in heels. It's like going from being a general to infantry. This is compounded by the fact that her Batgirl stories aren't even good. The only way to really change that is making her full on Batman tier and that won't happen for obvious reasons

Also the gap between any of them in the field is negligible which is sort of the point. It's easier to find Batgirls than it is to find Oracles. I get that some people want her in the action and whatnot but it's difficult to walk back from Oracle especially into the Batgirl stories that we got
>>
>>143215914
I think oracle is a lesser role because of my stated reasons that it's a character seperated from the fun action typing on a screen isn't as fun.
She doesn't even have a good reason to wear a colorful outfit if she's just sitting at a chair.
>>
>>143215587
I said I think modern writers would fuck it up.
>>143215701
It's the best way to justify why Dinah and Helena are useful. Otherwise it's just babs doing everything and that's boring as hell.
>>
>>143216098
She's the leader of a team and has actual dynamics. Do that with Batgirl and sure. They still haven't managed to. They would fuck oracle too because they'd give her some drone or some bullshit.

BoP was more fun than all of the Batgirl comics
>>
>>143216102
That's a silly argument to make becaise doesn't that logic mean Helena is completely useless and add nothing and should be cut off the bird of prey?
>>
>>143216175
If babs can walk? 100 percent. Without it she allows for there to be a grounded not quite as skilled vigilante on the physical aspect. Bop only works if babs is oracle. You can make the other batgirls work just fine by detaching them or making babs batwoman, not the same with bop.
>>
>>143216263
No anon you misunderstood my point, I'm saying your logic would mean that, even with oracle in the chair, Helena is a useless character on the account Black Canary already can do what Huntress does.
>>
People only want the chair back because it just opens up more opportunity for Cass and Steph. Since they will always be the 2nd tier Batgirls compared to Babs.
>>
>>143216375
Cass has been doing well for a while, I just think BOP doesn't work without oracle and BOP was a fun book.
>>143216315
Kind of? Helena is fun but she isn't needed. Still two agents on the field with command makes it more like Charlie's angels. The thing is that if babs is in the field too they become unnecessary
>>
>>143216669
You know the biggest problem with trying to model BoP off Charlie's Angel?
We never saw Charlie.
Inherent flaw in the whole damn thing and nobody notices this till now?
>>
>>143216710
We hear Charlie. And oracle is an actual character with her own plots while the action happens (and inherent tension when she's part of it physically by happenstance). But again I don't want babs to be oracle rn because modern writers can't do anything but punch punch storytelling.

Exactly so maybe hyperfocuing on putting babs in the wheelchair again as a deterrent doesn't make that much sense.
>>
>>143220000
Babs was crippled in 1988 and left a paraplegic up till 2011.
Batman was crippled in 1993 and was fully healed within a year.
Of course it was dumb. They never pretended it wasn't.
>>
>>143220031
>Of course it was dumb. They never pretended it wasn't.
Well yeah, that's what i'm complaining about.
The only reason i can see is because they wanted to push her down some stairs to make room for Cass.
>>
>>143220031
No anon you don't understand, Batman's spine wasn't all the way broken and could be healed by psychic while alas Bab's spinal injury was real serious and she didn't want to insult anyone else in a wheelchair who doesn't have connections by using science to fix it.
>>
>>143200736
>Id want a solo cass book, but I feel steph needs a solo thing the most rn
Not profitable.
>>
>>143220043
Well actually they did it just because she was associated with the adam west batman show.
>>
>>143216375
I think they each just need their own focus. Babs should absolutely be tackling our modern day cyberpunk dystopian problems as Batgirl/Oracle when she isn't helping heroes from her clocktower. Steph was the fun Batgirl normies assume Barbara was, and fits that niche well. Cass could probably use some time on a team book, preferably without Harley Quinn, it'd do to expand her relationships more. I know she's in Birds of Prey, but maybe being around heroes closer to her own generation would be better.
>>
>>143220137
Fuck that pigeonhole bullshit, what they need is to be a team all on their own, which is to say a Batgirl family independent from Batman and his Robins.
>>
>>143220168

Damian's supposed to be part Chinese, as his mother and grandparents are half Arab half Chinese. But most forget about the half Chinese part.

>>143220028
I'm not the one who keeps saying "put Babs in the chair." I'm ok with the current status quo where she does both, and my ideal would be Babs leading and mentoring the other two in the field. Oracle is my favorite long term period of Babs, and I disagree with those who say "it's obsolete", but I'm not trying to "keep her in the chair." I am fine with Babs as Batgirl.
>>
>>143220031
The dumb thing, to me, was that they decided to break Batman's back. Babs being a disabled heroine was very inspiring. Obviously Batman can't be disabled, but I don't think breaking his back should have been done (especially since then they kept breaking it and having him magically reset it. Rolling eyes so hard.)
>>
>>143220043
This is a ridiculous assertion. Babs was crippled because Len Wein and Alan Moore didn't care about her character. That was over a decade before Cass was created.
>>
>>143222642
Now that would be amazing. I love both his Cass and Steph backups.

The short of it would be daddy issues. Steph came from a broken home in Gotham, not crippling poverty but still working poor. With her dad in jail and her mom abusing painkillers, she basically had to raise herself. So she carries a lot of angst, mixed with a desire to prove herself as more than her father's daughter, and have a sense of control in her life.So being a superhero is both a way to right what she feels is an original sin, and also finding control in her life-as well as helping others to keep them from feeling the same sense of helplessness. This is most shown with her and children.
For me, besides my own liking of her personality, the angle I like about her as to where it fits into the greater batman mythos is that she's a product of one of Gotham's criminal element that's not quite A-list(and thus bound to the character) but not just a street thug. Just some guy who thought he could be bigger than he was. In a meta sense, the 40's-80's were FULL of villains outside of the "classic" rogues who never made it to classic territory and only had 2-3 appearances and maybe some cameos. So it's amusing to think of one of these villains having a whole life outside of being a washed up villain- and the repercussions it has. In effect Steph's the daddy's girl who rebels-but instead of being a bad girl she becomes a good girl. And she's one of the few batfamily members to come from Gotham, proper, which is kinda funny when you think about that.
>>
>>143232052
I mean, either she sticks out to you when you read her or not. I tend to think that while I don't hate it when DC "Ninja Turtles" the Robins or Batgirls, what I said in >>143218640 remains more interesting than everyone having the same "niche" per se.
>>
>>143232065
I think the problem with that being Steph's "niche" is that daddy or parental issues are a bit too common in the Batfamily, and Cass's daddy issues have roughly the same trajectory.
>>
>>143232093
The main difference is- for all of Cain's issues, David Cain actually loved Cass(hell the whole Bruce Wayne Murderer event was driven by that). Willis Todd did love Jason. But Cluemaster very likely didn't actually have any love for Steph beyond seeing her as property. To the point where her third story is him using her as collateral for another gang of criminals to ensure his end of a deal.
So while Cass is trying to balance the mark her father has in her life by trying to apply it in a way she can help others, Steph is outright running away from it. She doesn't have the same conflict Cass does with her father because she has no mixed feelings on him.
>>
>>143218640
Overall I agree with you. But BOP was special because it was a team with an actual purpose where each member could be useful. It'd why expanding it doesn't work. It'd why it hasn't worked at all since the new 52.

>But he did when she died.
Maybe, but she wasn't around to see that, and even then it's too little too late for her formative years. Cluemaster having some remorse over his past and wanting to change is a good angle but that doesn't change what she went through growing up and how it impacted her. One angle that should be explored more and got brought up as recently as the One Bad Day Two-Face one shot is that Steph is less forgiving and brushes off excuses for criminals just because of their history.

Steph (and maybe Cass) should have the distinction of being the members of the BatFamily most willing and able to deal with magical bullshit, due to not being so rigidly logical as Bruce.
Damian would also fit this role for the Robin side of things, but that's a different matter.
>>
>>143237563
I think the kids in general should be more open to magical bullshit, just because they're younger. But Steph definitely has an in thanks to her brief adventure with Klarion, and Cass spent a whole mini in spirit world, so.... yeah.

Not really talking about the quality of the compromise, there seemed to be a legit effort from DC to push Babs as Oracle again:
>Started by Babs reclaiming the title in Joker War.
>Future State had her randomly retconned into being Oracle halfway through the event without explanation despite clearly wearing a Batgirl costume.
>All Infinite Frontier Bat-Family Artwork had her as Oracle.
>Infinite Frontier #0 had her give a whole speech about doing more as Oracle.
>Most Babs appearances post-Future State and pre-Batgirls had her as Oracle
>Batman Urban Legends had an entire Oracle-solo mini one-shot story seemingly trying to set up a new status quo for Babs.
>Promotion material for Batgirls focused on Steph and Cass, with Babs only appearing as Oracle in the background.
>Batgirls itself had Babs solely as Oracle for its first 5 issues or so.
I mean, I know it’s been a while, but plenty of people legit got angry at Tom Taylor back when Babs’ Fear State costume was revealed because they thought she was going to remain as Oracle.

Hard to say, since she was promoted to Batgirl just a few months after FabNic's idiocy ended, and then was deleted from existence for three years.

I think using her sex appeal is just kind of a cheap plot device and I prefer not to see it. I think it demeans both the men and the women in the situation. Realistic, sure, but I don't read comics for realism.

You don't find it weird how more art gets posted these threads of Conner, who has absolutely nothing do with Batgirls, than of actual canon, widely liked ships relevant to the Batgirls like Steph/Tim or Babs/Dicks? If you actually like Batgirls shouldn't the discussion and artwork be predominantly centered around them instead of crack fan pairings?

"Absolutely nothing" is false, Cass/Conner was an explicit canon ship that appeared in two issues 25 years ago.

That said, I do think the spam gets a bit obnoxious. I don't like shipping any of these characters to begin with, I think the most trite kind of girl hero writing is "now let's pick a boyfriend for her".
>>
>>143255859
>two issues 25 years ago
That's exactly the point. The interaction happened a quarter of a century ago and had absolutely zero impact whatsoever on either character's development. It's such an insignificant part of their histories that it may as well have never happened. And being in two issues together in no way makes them a "canon couple" which implies an actual developed relationship.
>>143255855
I'm not suggesting it's not harmless, (especially when compared to all the pedo shit that is unfortunately so prevalent) but I am genuinely curious as to why people are so obsessed about a pairing that is dead and buried.
>>
>>143256078
>And being in two issues together in no way makes them a "canon couple" which implies an actual developed relationship.
It doesn't imply that. Canon means appeared in an in-continuity comic. Any characters that have appeared together even in ONE PANEL are a canon couple.
>>
>>143256078

I like them. On a seriouser note, I think that they have a nice thematic underpinning having both been made as weapons before deciding other stuff and both wanting to suceed their mentors, as well as a classic case of contrasting personalites while being a good flip on cass's usual dynamics as kon actually does get her fairly fast while its her that understimates him. Plus the actual date dynamic and angry bat-dad i find very amusing. I think its one that had a lot of potential, especially for a character like cass who doesnt really have many viable alternatives.

Pftt they interacted a few more than those (total of 5/6 depending on if you count cass's head kon), and end of the day kon is cass's first kiss :P. And they did reference it in the batgirls cover fairly recently.

Not as a lead character. Cass is a regular in Birds of Prey, and Steph, Cass, and Babs are common supporting roles in Batman, Cass is a regular supporting role in Detective, and Babs is a regular supporting role in Nightwing.

It's a case of a book trying to be for everyone but not being for anyone as a result. Doesn't help the premise that started Cass and Steph living together was a huge event that's not really explained. Or that it spent all it's time setting stuff up rather than them going on actual adventures because they literally couldn't leave the apartment without being in serious danger.
>>
>>143261603
Can't really say it spent all its time setting stuff up when it was doing nothing but spinning its wheels and burning off plot points from an event no one read. And it didn't try to be for anyone either. Babs did nothing, Cass did nothing, Steph did nothing, they were all out OOC, their support casts were stripped, their behavior, actions, and interactions didn't read right, and the book seemed allergic to actually establish anything. It didn't even let them keep a car.

Mature Babs with more juvenile understudy Batgirls was sort of the dream scenario for a while (until Batgirls fucked it up). I remember one of the major complaints about the New 52 was how Babs became less mature as a character, which was a natural part of deaging a character, but she didn't gain much in turn. They really derailed her character in a way that she hasn't truly recovered from.

I disagree. Especially at the beginning of Batgirls where they were acting like tweens.
Like others have said in this thread, it didn't help that the title's premise came off the heels of an unpopular event. I don't even remember seeing editor's notes in the first arc pointing to the relevant issues from the event to read. Or even a recap being given of what was relevant from it.
Batgirls could've worked. Older superhero taking a backseat and mentoring a younger hero while acting as mission control for him or her has worked before.
>>
>>143275606
BoP functioned because Dinah, and later Helena, flat out couldn't do the technical aspect of the job while Babs couldn't do the physical aspect. It's a complementary dynamic. Most of the Batfamily is at least decently skilled in what Oracle does, even under Dixon Tim was capable of keeping up with her, so it makes her superfluous. It's one of the reasons why she's always paired with Cass and Steph, they're the ones who don't have the technical expertise. Also, it's not the mid to late 90s anymore, computer literacy is an expectation so the floor for what Oracle does is now much higher and since people expect heroes to be competent at their job there is really no need for her outside of specific story elements. Within the Batman books she's got other characters who can slot into the Oracle niche without issue, in other team books the roster has to be specifically built to prevent that same kind of overlap but, particularly when other team members have their own books, she's competing against the other characters own competencies. The other is that by nature being the person behind the computer does not allow for particularly exciting usage of the character on a regular basis and makes them feel rather passive. While oversimplifying things, >>143275582 hits the nail on the head about mission control type characters. They're not a dynamic role and their point in stories is the facilitate the narrative of the active hero and to serve as a talking head.

Though I really think that this is an exceptionally pointless argument facilitated by people who aren't actually good at coming up with plotlines. If someone says that Babs has to be either Oracle or Batgirl I will respond by arguing that Batman can either run around Gotham or be on the Justice League but not both. It's the same argument. God forbid there be room in a story about ninja detective vigilantes for backflips and hacking at the same time. It's all a skill issue on the writers.

The other batgirls don't have Bruce as their "daddy" either. At least, when well written they don't. It's the Wayne Family Adventures crowd that wants to erase David Cain and the Cluemaster. People who know these characters from memes and wikis and fanart. Being adopted by Batman is a status symbol for them, or something.

You're right about Stephanie Brown. She lives with her mother. With how close she and Tim were it was an eventuality that she'd marry into the Bat Family. Which she was welcomed into. While that's not going to happen for the foreseeable future it hasn't changed her relationships with the other members of the Bat Family.

You still hasn't answered the question. When does Bruce ever refer to Cass as his daughter? When do Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian ever refer to her as a sister?

When has DC or the Batman editorial ever acknowledged it as being official in any capacity?
>>143277570
Because Cassfags desperately want to make her more relevant. Batgirl will ALWAYS be Barbara to the vast majority of people and that pisses them off to no end. They view every single character as being merely an accessory to raise Cass' profile and being counted amongst Batman's kids, they feel, is the best way to do so.

I'm not really convinced by this argument really. Barbara didn't assume a passive role in Puckett or Miller's Batgirl runs, just because she isn't fighting on the frontlines, it doesn't mean narratively her character was passive. While she's not a main focus Puckett's run, in Miller's she was basically a deuteragonist alongside Stephanie. If anything, it seems like more of a skill issue on the writers (namely the editors) if they can't see the value in the character of Oracle as she was before the New 52, and make her work.
>>
>>143276424
Its a complimentary dynamic 100 percent...one where babs is team leader. Tim's the only member of the family shown consistently as good with that stuff (to the point its a point of bonding between the two) largely due to the fact that unintentionally tim and babs are very very similar characters with similar character. And desu there's a colossal difference between computer literacy and "best hacker in the world", especially now where every single thing is digitalized, nwodays an oracle tier hacker would legitimately be one of the most effective superheroes EVER. And canary and huntress didn't really have ongoing, this was all 3 of their book. Again babs was only the secretary in small supporting roles in other books, she ran a team and was a mother figure to cass and a general mentor for steph. And love interest in dick's book which is by definition a different role.

Its a good thing then that batman doesn't actually sit around with the JL, they only group up when they need to. And dude we currently have the basbgirl that oracles as a setup and no one is happy with it. You are getting exactly what you want and its just not working for most people.

On an objective measure babs as batgirl in her original 20 years showed up about 92 issues while as oracle 586 times.
>>143277570
Cass's first and second run both constantly make parells between David and bruce (they even look the same when he was younger) with bruce constantly being framed as cass's new father figure in the same way babs is framed as cass's mother figure. Gavyrch doesn't really do either, but he also doesn't really have bruce and babs but that's due to the seutp.

The worst you can say is that its somewhat a one sided dynamic as cass books potray bruce as her father figure but bruce books don't potray cass as his daughter figure (outside of the 4 that do). But bruce as a dad didn't start to come back to that book in force until tim's adoption and damian's introduciton.

She's still either Oracle reduced to mission support or Batgirl reduced to love interest. On their own, they're not bad aspects of her, but it's the reduction to solely those roles that's bad for her. She should be in her own book running a team as Oracle or taking down corrupt megacorps as Batgirl.

That's how that setup WOULD work. We get a murky worst of both worlds to try and keep two different camps happy. And desu, they'd never give her a book for her as batgirl and go with that tone, cause the whole point of making her batgirl is to do a softer tone compared to other books. Plus again, BOP with her in that role just doesn't work, now they're trying to reinvent it (to some greater success sales wise than the other ones) but that is just making her less relevant to it. Cause without the "each member complements" dynamic its just a girl team. And you cant do that if babs is actively in the field.
>>143281895

Eh i just liked the idea of him as red x rather than red robin. And I mean..nightwing got started by superman and redhood by joker. The robins arent very original at coming up with names.
>>143286579
In what sense?
>>
>>143285454
Nice steph too.
>>
>>143287269
Red X would be fun for an arc, but he was at his best as Red Robin.
>>
>>143289604
I like the red robin book a lot but dunno if is gree. Tho regardless tim red X for my stuff is basically a rename of tim red robin, the id he takes after robin where he's in a more withdrawn position and bruce is dead/gone, or steph or damian are robin

Nah, Steph's a girly-girl. Cass is more like a dude, dedicated to fighting and improving herself. Steph would rather do bullshit girl stuff and eat trash, which is why most women are in sad shape these days. And she's lazy.

No, I read and know anon is referring to Tynion's crap or Batgirls. Unfortunately it's been so long it's basically her character now. It's a shame

Get as much money from TOCA as possible while continuing to draw his own fav ship.

He's cool and does his own thing lol.

Pftt, I mean he's drawn cass/kon for free too and we're friends overall lol.

Steph cleans up nicely.

>>143297539
>Tim Wayne
He should literally never be allowed to live this down.
Tim should have to meet his father's ghost and explain it to him.
Jason and Damian should mock him for it at every opportunity.
Dick should think it's cringe as fuck but not want to say anything because he knows Tim is a troubled kid with suicidal tendencies.
>>
>>143296791
hey now I'll also have you know I draw Tim/Steph as well, for myself even!
>>
>>143297692
I just want Steph to get Tim to make out with Cass because she finds the pseudo incest hot.

He was adopted desu, and he lost the three (arguably four if you count bart) people to him in quick succession AND then bruce, its not super hard to see him doing that and all.

Jack Drake's probably in hell for grave robbing some cursed tombs.

Sounds like an interesting quest.

At least we got to see a bit of college hijinx with Stephanie.

Bruce just keeps finding orphaned boys...I think Wayne Industries made an app for that or something.

If it were me, I'd try cloning Stephanie instead.

Well, he did try dunking her DNA in some kind of Lazarus pit.

>>143299142
But Tim (the one with the healthiest and longest lasting relationship with his parents) was the only one to betray their memory and take the Wayne name.
>>
>>143300717
While a bit dumb. The fact that so much piled up that fast and then Bruce died...is a mitigating factor.
>>
>>143300355
Bros before hoes.
>>
>>143300793
Or... bad writing planned for an era where Dick was meant to be dead and Jason was meant to be evil that instead made Tim look like an ungrateful clown and a disrespectful son.

Are they ever going to play the damsel in distress thing straight with Babs again? Not that I don't mind that she can take care of herself, but when a "subversion" becomes the norm, things are predictable.
