I think she's just one of those rare polarizing characters who people really like or dislike. My friend absolutely loves her, and has a collection of all her early appearances.

I however fall in the other camp, as I have always find her annoying since she first showed up in the Batman cartoons.

I respect her commercial viability, and why they had her lead the BOP movie, but as a traditional BOP fan, I wasn't happy with the decision, and it's the first time I'm not collecting the comic series.
