Barbara Gordon: Batgirl, Oracle Appreciation 2018

[yohyoi]

Thanks anyway. I'm just curious about Barbara and why she dates the Bat boys. I think it could be more than because there should always be a romance plotline.

A while ago, I wrote a new set of lyrics to the classic song “I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night”, as sung by Joan Baez (there are lots of great versions, but this one needed a woman's voice).

I dreamed last night of Oracle
Her sitting next to me
Says I, But Babs, you're Batgirl now
I never quit, says she
I never quit, says she

The Killing Joke, says I to her
Her watching like a seer
They shot and raped and left you, Babs
Says Babs, But I'm still here
Says Babs, But I'm still here

The DC bosses wrote you out,
They turned you into grist
Takes more than pens to unwrite me
Says Babs, And I persist
Says Babs, And I persist

And sitting there as real as life
And smiling with her eyes
Babs says, What they can not erase
My life that I devise
My life that I devise

Oracle's here, she says to me
Oracle still abides
Where girls are fridg'd and written out
Oracle's at their sides
Oracle's at their sides

In songs and films and comic books
The valley and the hill
Where women build their life anew
You'll find Oracle still
You'll find Oracle still

I dreamed last night of Oracle
Her sitting next to me
Says I, But Babs, you're Batgirl now
I never quit, says she
I never quit, says she

How many "Bat boys" has she dated?
Aside from original Robin Dick Grayson, and briefly Luke "Batwing" Fox, who else was there (and where/when did it happen)?

- There was this thing with her and Jason during batman Eternal.
- She married Tim in the Arkham games.
- And she had also something with Bruce in the DCAU and the Killing Joke movie

Well, I guess it's because the creators like to put Batgirl on relationships with a Batboy (and they don't want use Dick).

- Maybe Tynion wants to develop a romance between Barbara and Jason. However, that was stopped.


The AU has more freedom for this:

- I don't know much about Arkham games. I guess the writers may want develop a romantic relationship between Batgil and a Robin.

- Bruce Willis seems to like the idea of Batman and Batgirl. That's probably why Barbara has feeling for Bruce on Killing Joke movie.

That wasn't "dating" as I read it. I'm not sure it really qualified as "flirting".

"Friendliness" maybe.

Barbara was also shown to have romantic feelings for Bruce in The Mystery of the Batwoman movie which was released in 2003.
Timm wasn't even involved in the making of it.
While Barbara is away at college, she called Bruce on the phone and it came off like she was flirting and coming onto him, and Bruce acted all awkward and trying to avoid her while he was in the car with Tim.

But it was at least going in that direction.

Btw. I think Azrael had at some point also a crush on her.

Babs confirmed for Titans

Babs confirmed for Titans

That’s nice, I guess maybe. It seems like every Batfamily member except her is appearing in live action.
Hope she’s still headed for the big screen though.

[Godlike13]

I far as I’m aware she was just mentioned.

exactly
her name being mentioned doesn't mean that there is confirmed for Titans
