Stephanie Brown: Spoiler, Robin, Batgirl Appreciation 2020

[Midnighter]

They are - I was wondering if either would actually be called "Batgirl." (Or some names other than Spoiler and Orphan.)

I agree Barbara will probably be called Batgirl in the present, unless she retires from the active role and acts solely as Oracle. In that case we'll have to see what happens.

With the damage done to her chip it might be wise for her to pull back and focus on training and coordinating Steph and Cass as Oracle to be the Batgirl's. It was kind of insinuated that if her chip gets damaged again it can't be replaced so she's risking her mobility every time she patrols.

This way she can keep her mobility and still suit up as Batgirl when the #$@% really hits the fan and it'd be like a huge moment whenever she does suit up.

So in regards to DCeased: Hope at Worlds end

spoilers:

She’s not in the final issue and neither is Talia, so I’m guessing either Tom Taylor forgot or we are going to see another DCeased Digital series showing what happens to Talia. Your guess is as good as mine.

Taylor already got an extension to 15 installments because 14 wasn't enough to finish his story. So maybe he ran out of space and really needed 16. There was so much to tie up - I don't think he'd just want Talia and Stephanie standing around in some final scene - it has to be more dramatic than that! They could appear in a future digital series, or in Dead Planet (which has another month to go), or a future print series.

I mean he seemed pretty well aware of what he was doing on Twitter so I have to think he has something planned for Talia and Steph.

I think he didn't really run out of space, so much as wanting to set up Steph and Talia for the third part of this trilogy. I'm betting on a third series of the main DCeased run - Dead Universe or some such stuff, and then a third spinoff, probably digital first again, the Unkillable Hope of the World's Ending Night or something.

I thought I heard a rumor Taylor was working on "Dead End: Night of Dying Hopes".

Batman 104 has some really nice stuff, including Steph!

I never really thought about it, given the few appearances so far, but while I have been noticing the shape of Steph's mask seems kind of unusual for this type of mask, I now realize it's in the shape of a bat. Was that obvious to everyone but me?

It may be the giant eyes Bengal gave her, or the way she just bursts in - she is, after all, interrupting Dick and should know that, as they are usually all on the same frequency - but Steph definitely comes off as a bit of comic relief when she calls in to Barbara. Kind of over-eager, enthusiastic. And I like that - the trio needs that. Barbara as the calm intellect; Cass with silent intensity; Steph as enthusiastic and endearing.

I think the mask kind of varies in shape and material depending on artist. Fabok, for example, tends to draw it as a cloth one, with nose and chin outlines. Others, like Lafuente and Bengal, tend to draw it as a more rigid, semi-armored and technologically functional piece, a "filtration mask" as it's called in Batman Eternal.

I do like Steph being that enthusiastic and warm character - it's part of the reason I think Tynion can do such a good job with her. I hope that we get more that!

In addition to the batgirls story in the anthology book looks like Steph will be in Future State: Robin Eternal:
