Barbara Gordon: Batgirl, Oracle Appreciation 2019

Well that was part of the idea behind the New 52 in general.

I understand that.

It may be surprising, since I am a big fan of Batgirl/Stephanie, but I was very excited about Batgirl/Barbara when New52 started.

I really liked Barbara as Oracle, so I wanted to see her in more street action. However, the result disappointed me, as I saw her too inexperienced and tormented in the comics.

Babs lost her first suit and had to put together something on a budget, she 24 and in grad school she is young? Yes the outfits was less body tight so it made her easier to use in children novel and media

Problem with that was literally soon after in a separate comic Bruce gave Lois Barbara's exact old costume. Barbara also kept appearing in it with other Batfamily members all using techarmor suits.
She looked so silly and out of place.

Going from Oracle to Burnside was very jarring. Never felt like Barbara. The Burnside Batgirl should've been Stephanie.
I didn't care for the costume either. I don't advocate super tight sex kitten looks for every character, but Babs should be more professional than that. I'm in general not a fan of the "easy cosply" costume look. Cosplayers can do amazing looks of old school well designed costumes.

Going from Simone's Batgirl to Burnside is already jarring I can't imagine reading Burnside right after Oracle

So with Jim gordon now being played by an actor of color,

an african american Barbra is a possibility

Zendaya ???

She's already playing one redhead turned black .

#39 was a little over wordy, but not a bad introspective. Also things are gonna heat up with Babs in White Knight.

Did Disney get spiderman back

She and might as well jump over to DC

So it's now being reported that Barbara Gordon as Batgirl will be in Matt Reeves The Batman movie. This will also tie into the standalone Batgirl film.
I really hope we finally get to see Barbara Gordon as Batgirl on the big screen. She has never been in a live action movie. I want to see her red hair flowing from under her cowl while she is swinging from the rooftops of Gotham.

Well unless she's adopted or wearing a wig, she won't have red hair flowing in the wind as she swings since Gordon is black in Matt Reeves' Batman.

Black girls can have red hair

[Frontier]

Black girls can have red hair

True, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did a Batwoman wig if we get a black Batgirl, assuming they even keep that element.

[Osiris-Rex]

Black girls can have red hair

That's true. Starfire of Titans has red hair.

[Frontier]

That's true. Starfire of Titans has red hair.

It's a wig though .

They should.
