I agree. I actually feel this way about a number of the cast members on Titans who are, quite frankly, too good to be on a show that bad. But this is my first exposure to Savannah Welch and I think I'm in love. Her Barbara is fantastic. The writing is garbage, but the performance carries so much of the load. I really hope to see more from the actress in the future.
It’s still a Batgirl book regardless. In a book titled Batgirl Oracle by default becomes an extension of Batgirl because of the title and where she is being sold. Regardless of the writing. Presentation is important, and can speak just as loudly as the actual writing. If not more. Even if it’s as a member of team Batgirl, or leader of team Batgirls, or mentor of Batgirls. They are now presenting Oracle as a piece of Batgirl. It’s the same problem with selling Nightwing as Robin. Even if it wasn’t blatantly clear what the dynamic is going to be in the upcoming Batgirl book. Where BoP can be Oracle’s, something called Batgirl can never be Oracle’s.

I feel like Titans is about to make Barbra the villain
Speaking of Titans, does Barbara have a middle name in the comics? Because in the show, it's Gail, in honour of Gail Simone.

Good point.
Comics desperately needs to appeal to younger audiences given the state of the market.
Editorial tried to pivot Batgirl to cater to that market. There was some contention about it.
The version of batgirl in the Harley Quinn cartoon caters to that market, too come to think of it.
Now DC is trying it with the other Batgirls who are even more able to cater to that market (they are both younger than canon Babs is and are buddies on top of it).
Asking for 20-something Babs back was a mistake. It basically means she either is a member of Nightwing's supporting cast or she's Oracle in the mainline Batbooks again or both.

Yes, but part of the point of her being Oracle is that she’s not Batgirl any more. If they are just going to sell Oracle in Batgirl, and present Oracle as a Batgirl with a different name (or even less then as Batgirl support), there is really no point to her being Oracle then. Beside getting her out the way.
