Barbara Gordon Batgirl Costume prefences

[Tzigone]

This is a question about preference for her most recent in-universe Batgirl costume. If you want her as Oracle in the present-day, then vote for what her last costume before that should have looked like. I admit a fondess for her classic costume, but others have been good, too. I strongly prefer cowl to domino.

The Burnside costume is by far my favorite look.

I can't believe I didn't put purple on the list. I meant to.

Classic can't be beat for me:



I really don't like the idea of Babs wearing a costume that's just a jacket and pants.

Seconded.

I’ve liked most of her looks over the years but her current costume is my favorite, tho some artists don’t do it justice.

I have a particular fondness for the grey BTAS look.

Modernized Burnside just doesn't work for me, though I can see the appeal.

Sometimes Redondo feels too much like "this has to look practical."

Same here!

Also her TNBA design is fire:

The coloring is alright, but that teeny-tiny cape looks silly!

Yeah, I'm not too crazy about the cape length either.

But in general I love the color scheme. It looks like a modified version of a Batsuit, while still retaining some distinctive elements.

I agree, this is one of my favorite designs.

That is spectacular Batgirl art. That’s my runner up for best costume ever.

There was also this look from the Three Jokers series:

The Burnside costume is by far my favorite look.

It’s a popular enough look that it’s basically Barbara’s “evergreen” Batgirl look that appears in adaptations and merchandise.
