Barbara Gordon: Batgirl/Oracle Appreciation 2021

[Rac7d*]

I’m guessing that will be revealed later today, as part of a Nightwing cover. The first half of that cover was released around 5pm EST last Thursday.

Excited to see the new look!

Can anyone tell me what is Barbara current occupation? I don't think she has a doctorate in library science anymore. So what is she qualified for and what does she do for a living in current continuity?

I know she was studying to be a librarian during Larson's run but that got kind of forgotten about.

Is she even old enough to do all that in current continuity?

Well I think now she's intended to be older than she was per Burnside.

On average, a library science degree takes about two years while a law degree takes about three. While my own math might be shaky as to how old Babs is, it wouldn't necessarily be out of the question that an incredibly driven and intelligent 27-year-old would have been able to earn both degrees by this age. Again, according to my incredibly shaky math and understanding of DC continuity, if I had to guess, Nightwing would probably be about that age as well.

And didn't DC also try to fudge how young Barbara was by saying she graduated high school earlier than 17-or-18 years old?

...I think that came up in Batgirl: Year One? Don't quote me on it.

If they didn't do it then, I seem to remember it being part of the New52 era.

[Digifiend]

That makes sense, because New 52 deaged her to match Dick's age, Dick himself also being de-aged a few years to 21. They've now been restored to what Dick's age was pre-Flashpoint, which is late 20s.

I mean should she be the same age or older than him? I often kind of liked her older than him. I mean I think she still is older than him but like 1-2 years. Not like 3-5 years
