Waffletastic Stephanie Brown Appreciation (Spoiler/Robin/Batgirl/Spoiler again)

[The Dying Detective]

It's going to be inked, so that should make it better.

Hope the artist presents an inked version.

Reminds me of that production art for the non-produced No Man's Land cartoon.

What was that?

What was that?

Before Beware the Batman became a thing WB was developing concepts for other Batman cartoons.

One was based on No Man's Land:

That's partially accurate. Originally the show was being developed in the mid-2000's, but they went with Brave and the Bold instead because they thought the show was too dark. Then they tried to get it made again, but it was once again passed over in favor of Beware the Batman.

And yes, I will forever be bitter that this show which could have been the break Cass needed was passed over twice.

I forgot about it being talked about back during the Brave and the Bold days.

Personally I think she probably would have turned up in Beware the Batman had it not got been one of the victims of CN being where good action cartoons go to die.

That looks really cool!

I do have a really soft spot in my heart for Brave and the Bold because of the Calling All Robin issue of the tie-in comic. It came at a time when Steph fans were really in need of it.

That character with batarangs... Made me think in Cass.

I'm pretty sure it is Cass, since No Man's Land was her introductory story. Additionally, sadly, Steph was sidelined from action during NML, because of her pregnancy and recovery.

Since it was a kids show maybe they could skip over Stephanie's pregnancy and just include her? If this show had been green lit.

I mean, counterfactuals are always kinda dead-endy. But I doubt it, since they already had two girls, and that's clearly enough (/sarcasm).

Well too bad we'll never know huh? But if the pregnancy had not been included and Stephanie was allowed to participate in No Man's Land what role could she have had?

I shudder to think. Maybe they'd put her in Helena's role, and she'd be the "fake Batgirl". And get shot a lot by the Joker. Hmmm. Maybe she was better sitting it out...ugh.

Well that sounds like Stephanie was better off out of action for the duration of No Man's Land. Shame really though she could participate in any attempt to help the needy people of Gotham somehow mayb help Leslie Thompkins.

Leslie had several great stories in NML, often involving Huntress, so maybe. But the whole of NML was pretty dark. I'm sure that's part of why they had difficulty making a kids show about it.
