I decided to make a 2019 thread for Bette Kane. Hopefully 2019 is her year and she will be able to appear in more stuff

I love bette's personality but she doesnt fit under Didio's grimdarkforeveh! mode of comics.
One quibble: she wasn't "Batgirl". She was "Bat-Girl" (with a dash) and originally went by "Betty" (not Bette) when she first appeared in the 1960s.
I first discovered her in reprinted stories (most in b&w) in a bargain book I got back in the early 1970s.
As for the change from "Betty" to "Bette", that may have happened when she appeared in Teen Titans back in the +/- mid-1970s?

I loved her friendship with Beast Boy
I love Bette! In any version. I also love that it ticks Barbara fans off to know Barbara wasn't the first "Batgirl" (Bat-Girl). and I love Barbara! It's fun though.
I really hope the "Mary" on the new Batwoman show ends up being "Mary Elizabeth"...aka our Bette (or Betty).

One the the better stories of the late 50's/early 60's era is BATMAN #159.
