Whats the appeal of this character outside of coomerism?
Batgirl
Cooper Hernandez
Julian Hill
The other Batgirls.
Ethan Lee
Same appeal as every other character.
Jaxson Cooper
It’s like reading Batman before he was an unstoppable ninja keikaku god.
And she’s a hot redhead.
Lincoln Watson
coom is the only reason batgirls have fans
Matthew Hernandez
>hey steph, wanna raise sales?
Grayson Gonzalez
Entertainment?
Connor Green
She's a pedophile (and that's a good thing)
Ian Hughes
she has no appeal outside coomerism
Logan Edwards
>outside of coomerism?
there isn't one
Jacob Wilson
Same as Batman outside of the coomerism
Hudson Hughes
Henry Morgan
>Brainy
>Tenacious
>Kicks ass, but isn't an overpowered Mary-Sue
The fact that she's hot is just icing on the cake. But that does make up a lot of her appeal.
And thanks again for the art, Sketchatron!
Eli Foster
>Brainy
>Tenacious
>Kicks ass, but isn't an overpowered Mary-Sue
So like most street level heroes?
Liam Hill
It's a workable formula. I just wish Babs had kept her heels.
Jose Scott
Her romance with Dick is cute.
Leo Bennett
She was blacked.
Best character
Ethan Lewis
Self inserting as Babs while Dick fucks her.
Jaxon Russell
>We can start raising those sales any minute now...
Zachary Foster
>maybe if we raise our tops.
Robert Hernandez
Jeremiah Martin
Bentley White
>Dick
Pathetic
Lucas Bennett
Same appeal as Robin really
Plucky young hero who works with Batman
Juan Murphy
You could ask that question of all of the batgirls.
Adrian Bailey
Cass at least has ‘best batfighter’ going for het. No matter how bullshit it is
Joshua Mitchell
Heores don't need to be "The bestest evah!" to be enjoyable. That kind of attitude has lead to the shittiest writing in multimedia today.
Benjamin Ramirez
Atleast both Steph and Cass had an arc to work with unlike Barbara who started as a generic bimbo who played third wheel with the dynamic duo.
Gabriel Perez
Would you prefer love crazed Betty whose sole defining trait was being thirsty for Sick?
Adrian Peterson
They're all sexy.
Owen Roberts
Characters didn't have "arcs" in 60s DC, you're holding her to a standard that didn't even exist at the time.
Asher Hill
That, and the very concept of a Batgirl was discarded for awhile. A lot of that silver/golden age "silliness" was put aside because people in charge of comics were increasingly self-concious about it. DC didn't care to put any such investment into Barbara, and usually just brought her up as a rights placeholder, and to dump on the concept. And even Oracle had an uphill battle for relevance.
Cameron Fisher
>Hey Kelly, you did a good job witht hose Batgirl stories in the BTAS comic, clearly you love the character, can you write some Batgirl oneshots?
>Sure *cackles maniacally internally)
Cooper Hill
That aside, I wish we got more Babs from Jim Balent.
Matthew Sanchez
Hm... Maybe I should commission a Babs in Tarot-esque armor...
Jeremiah Ramirez
I want to lick Jim Gordan's ass.
Lincoln Long
Balent's happy being his own boss for the last 20 years, but I can't help wishing he'd worked on more Big 2 heroines.
Mason Miller
Even the odd cover would bring a smile to my face. Especially for Batgirls.
Connor Thomas
Heck, it's not like all characters need arcs. After an arc, most modern characters in a DC comic will become static characters anyway. Static characters are just traditionally what you use when a character will be in many stories instead of just one. Goes all the way back to figures like Robin hood. Just in recent years, there's been a view that ALWAYS Static=flat and bad well dynamic characters with arcs are the best kind of character.
Austin Collins
I'm sure if they asked him to he'd come back, but DC has been trying to unperson his Catwoman era despite it being the character's most successful era.
Seriously, its clear that people that didn't even experience the era originally love the purple costume and the look, yet DC tries to pretend it didn't happen.
Oliver Myers
I wonder how a Balent Selina would look in the pitsuit.
Asher Ward
His obvious enthusiasm for sorceress characters makes it a shame he never got to work on any Zatanna or Scarlet Witch books, but that one Batgirl issue does leave you wanting more.
They at least published two trades of his Catwoman, I'd suspect it's more DC hiring the types of people who'd be offended by Balent Catwoman to work on Catwoman comics than a specific editorial push against that era.
Chase Williams
Now I’m curious. How are the sales of the new book doing? Haven’t heard much about it.
Isaiah Mitchell
It’s kind of weird to think that people thought of Babs in the same way many thought of Bette.
Leo Ortiz
A lot of people wanted to get rid of Robin for good too, and probably would have succeded if not for Teen Titans to keep Dick active. Jason got the brunt of that, it seems.
Aaron King
Seems to do ok in digital sales but nothing spectacular In the lower 50 of the top 100 usually.
Joseph Foster
Its so weird how people shit on Babs for not having enough training when DKR is the so-called definitive Batbook and has Carrie able to pull her weight with nothing more than a costume. Then in Miller's continuing works she's Batman 's successor.
Sebastian Cox
>coomerism
It's called being straight.
Leo Harris
I guess that's why Year One has Babs go through a bit of a trial by fire.
Charles Parker
Most of it is coming from people who either want there to be no Batgirl, no Robin, nobody else but Batman, or from people who want someone else to be Batgirl and fixate on anything they can use to claim /theirgirl/ is "better".
Cameron Sanchez
Trust me, you don’t need to be straight to appreciate her.
Jayden Long
It really helps though.
Gabriel Morgan
True.
Evan Hernandez
I love all Batgirls, but Babs is still my favorite.
Aaron Davis
Betty and Babs saved Dick from catching the gay. Poor Tim only had Stephanie. Even her full teen milkers were helpless against queer pandering.
Adam Perez
Charles Hernandez
What did that guy do?
Kevin Perez
Just write a few comics.
Easton Morales
Christopher Williams
Gabriel Green
Did Babs kill that guy? Why?
Brody Smith
He was the go-to guy to write a bunch of Babs girl one-shots in the 90's, as well as Cassandra cain's creator. He said he created Cass because he disliked writing Babs in the BTAS comics because he felt she had no proper experience to be a vigilante and not face consequences.
When he wrote about Bab's time as Batgirl for the mainstream universe, the theme is generally that Babs wasn't good enough, she was in over her head, and even though it was fun that she's better off as Oracle.
Colton White
She was caught by surprise, and is very green and in over her head.
Gabriel Allen
