I wonder, is this Robin (in Tales from the Dark Multiverse: Crisis on Infinite Earths) supposed to be Babs? Dick was killed earlier in the issue, and this was Dick's last costume in the original pre-Crisis JSA comics.

Barbara Gordon is my favorite Batgirl but I don't see why they don't make Oracle her costume title also.
I understand that it may limit her chances of getting a solo title, but if she gets to be the woman in the chair in Batman and Detective, but also gets to suit up now and then in Nightwing and BOP/Batgirls book I think that is a reasonable compromise.
Honestly, they could use her current Batgirl suit as an Oracle suit, since it is different from a "traditional" Batgirl suit.
Now, Batgirl or not, the chances of Batgirl getting a solo in the short term are little.
DC is cancelling books that don't sell good like Batgirl. I am surprised there is still a Nightwing ongoing, but I guess they have more expectatives for Nightwing.
It wouldn't be surprising if DC has put Barbara in the Oracle role again, because they want her to be relevant (since she wouldn't have a solo anymore).
Batgirl gives more oportunities than Oracle, because Barbara as Batgirl could have a solo. However, when Barbara becomes a supporting character, Oracle gives Barbara more possibilities to be relevant (since she as Batgirl would just be another female street fighter in Gotham).

I mean I wonder if Dc not cancelling Nightwing is more to do with maybe Nightwing being more popular? I mean if they do use her Batgirl outfit. What changes should they make
I am happy Babs is still Batgirl, but I want to see her more as Batgirl. Just getting little cameos here and there isnt enough for me. I like that she is doing both roles as Oracle and Batgirl but I want more Batgirl.
I also hope they change her costume or at least give her the cowl back.
Id love her Three Jokers costume to become her main continuity costume, that one is gorgeous.
I do wonder if she'll have a new look for Nightwing. She hasn't been seen in any of the released art and she was in civvies as Oracle on the big splash page of characters for Batman.
I like her suit but hate that it is missing her cowl, they should at least add her cowl.
But if she is doing both Batgirl and Oracle. Shouldn’t have outfit reflect that? What would a Outfit that reflects Babs as Batgirl and Oracle?
Yeah, she needs a gauntlet that contains a pocket computer, so she can do Oracle stuff while out on patrol as Batgirl.
