I do need to reread - problem is, I'm also in the middle of my X-Wing: Rogue Squadron reread from the crazy Marvel $.99 sale. So...hopefully I'll get to it tonight.
(Also, just a note - I always check and see if Amazon or Comixology is cheaper, since you can read both in the Comixology app - Comixology is currently $17, while Amazon is 24, so right now, best bet is to go for the Comixology version right now! I'm sure we'll get a sale sometime - the first volume was on a nice sale for 6 or 7 dollars during the Women's Day sale.)

I love Stephanie and I haven't read the whole thread, so I don't know if this has been discussed, but I'd really like to see her play up her whole "spoiler" angle in Gotham.
It's be ridiculously fun to read a title where Stephanie takes on spoiling the crimes of lower-level Batvillains. One, it gives Stephanie a chance to shine and two, it'd give a creator the chance to shine a spotlight on characters that rarely get much attention.
Kite-Man was revamped in the Jokes & Riddles storyline, so I'm kind of thinking along those lines. Make the villains less of a joke in some cases, and it shows a parallel of Stephanie rising as a hero, while the foes are trying to rise as villains. There could be some surprises in that premise with the right villainously creative writer behind it.
I'd love to see Stephanie up against Calendar Girl, Roxy Rocket, Condiment King, Gorilla Gang, Signalman, Mr. Polka-Dot, King-Tut, Globe, etc. Make them strange and somewhat vile, with some surprises as to how they're attempting to become "big guns" in Gotham.
Welcome! I've been here for a while, and I still haven't read the WHOLE thread. It's a lot of pages. Page 200 here we come!
I think we got a significant chunk of Spoiler stuff in Batman Eternal and Batman and Robin Eternal. But we'd have to have more street-level stuff, and a stronger status quo to really get it at this point.
As for Steph vs. Roxy...good times, good times (Batgirl: Stephanie Brown vol. 1 on sale now!)

That's fair though I did not appreciate how he used Livewire the only part of Stephanie's costumes that was not covered her insulated costume in was her eyes and mouth which should have led to her to being fried. The fight could have been dragged out a little longer and have Stephanie defeat her through wit.
"Excellent!" I cried. "Elementary," said he
Aww. I loved the Livewire fight. And it's not like Livewire is ever really used in a physically plausible way. For example, I don't think Batgirl in Burnside handled it any better. (Also, does it really fry you if your boots are insulated, so you're not grounded?)

Well Livewire is able to fight Superman so she should give Stephanie a bigger challenge so some expected more from her. You can't be fried by electricity at all since you're covered by insulated material to groudn electricity would require something to direct into the ground.
