Maybe it wasn't "girly" enough?
I've got no clue, either.
I think because they didn't want her in a suit that shows off her breasts and curves. I guess only men are allowed in skin tight suits now, lol.
[QUOThat's likely it.
But anyway, some Batgirl redesigns from the past decade
I like all of those designs (though the Burnside era bothers me for other reasons). I think I'm the only one who liked the SGM redesign, because it reminded me of the Year One costume.

I love this suit and it should have definitely become Babs MAIN Batgirl costume in the DC Comics Universe, I would love to also see it in live action. I really enjoyed the Three Jokers story and was really hoping for more from it like a sequel or on going series in that timeline coz Babs as Batgirl was perfect in it.
It's funny because looking at the other Batgirls, they're in skintight suits, yet Barbara isn't.
So apparently teenagers can wear skintight costumes but not adults .
I think people are just a little self-conscious about it.
I liked it too. I mean, people rag on it for the small domino mask although the only thing I really took issue with was the backpack.
I liked the SGM Batgirl design, but I just hated it had no cowl. If that costume had a cowl it would have been a great design, I even didn't mind the backpack.

Burnside costume should have been her first appearance Batgirl costume. Then when she became apart of the Batfamily that is when she should have got the amazing adult armored costume that she wore in Gail Simones Batgirl series. I still miss that costume so much, that has to be my favourite apart from her Arkham Knight costume which was similar to this one.
