Anyone remember that Gotham Girls episode where Batgirl got amnesia and was roped into being a criminal? DC Super Hero Girls just did it's own take on that plot:

Is this a sneak preview of DC's plan for Dick?

"You Scratch My Back" in comic form .

Not really a fan of the darker direction. I mean I know Batman, Red Hood, & NW are going with a darker tone but I always liked Batgirl in a lighter tone. To be fair I prefer NW in a lighter tone.

For those interested, I've posted the first teaser chapter of a new fanfic starring Babs -

Title

Space Odyssey of Hope

Summary

Set in Universe 7531. Unable to accept the death of her best friend Batgirl, alongside her boyfriend Nightwing, goes on a galaxy-spanning quest in hopes of finding technology that can resurrect the fallen Supergirl (she was disintegrated by a Martian superweapon so no Lazarus Pit). Meanwhile the brothers Darkseid and Thanos battle for control over the empire of the "New Gods". Caught in the middle of a terrible war our heroes fight to survive.

Main Characters - [Barbara Gordon/Batgirl/Oracle, Dick G./Nightwing] Thanos, Darkseid

Other than Grotesque being a darker villain that the kind of candy colored and low-stakes villains we've been seeing for three years, I don't feel that Babs's relationships or character is necessarily darker. I don't think "more serious" necessarily has to be "darker" or "grim." In particular, I am really excited to see more of Babs and Jim, though hopefully it doesn't go in the "Batgirl: Wanted" direction this time around.

It's not only we who appreciate Babs; Black Canary does it too.

Batgirl in the Three Jokers story:

[Pohzee]

I wonder if Batgirl and Red Hood’s involvement in this story has to do with their recent status quo and costume changes?

It seems weird for them to change costumes right before they change costumes, but they definitely look designed to be temporary.

I dig Fabok’s Batgirl costume though!

Timeline-wise these are apparently all their "future" costumes by the time period of Doomsday Clock (whenever the DCU catches up, that is).

I like the costume because it's A. Classic, B. makes Barbara look her age, and C. has the cowl back.

Not gonna lie, Fabok drawing Babs is the man draw for me.

I'm hoping Babs can get a chance to reclaim the TKJ narrative for herself in some way since DC is absolutely committed to that damn story. TKJ movie was horrid so maybe they can make even justify the existence of Babs in that story and actually give her moment in this story.

Plus ever since New 52 they really haven't really known how to let in unfold for Babs. The PTSD story line was great but it got dropped. The microchip and it's ability to get hacked is damn stupid. So maybe they can resolve some of the issues plaguing Babs with TKJ hanging over her head.

Hopefully this story gives us what the movie should have as far as integrating Batgirl in to the Killing Joke's narrative.

Has Johns ever wrote Babs for more then a panel here or there? I’m excited for this.

I think these are all temporary. DC wants this book to have more staying power on the shelves, so they're going with iconic and familiar designs, rather than the ones that reflect their current status quo.

Barbara Gordon as Batgirl looks amazing in the Three Jokers! I seriously hope this costume continues in her current Batgirl series.
She looks like an adult, she looks strong, I love the darker colors, I love her cowl is back HELL YES that makes such an improvement.
She is perfect!
