Barbara Gordon: Batgirl, Oracle Appreciation 2018

[Carabas]

With rumors that the upcoming Harley Quinn movie will introduce Batgirl and The Birds of Prey, who would be your choice to play Babs?

More importantly: which Huntress will be in it?

[Stormcrow]

Batgirl faces Poison Ivy in December! This sounds like a lot of fun, always love it when these two are paired together.

The funny thing is that this isn't the first time these two have fought on a plane:

I´m really excited to Batgirl# 6 Babs is great, and I was missing see Poison Ivy like a villain.

Can't wait for this! I'm kinda hoping it's like a buddy trip-type story. I'm dying for #3 to come out... that cover is by far my favorite of any Rebirth.

Might as well do BoP to.

Beautiful cover, I´m so excited to read this comics, Batgirl #3 please come soon, Batgirl and the birds of prey, all of this.

[millernumber1]

Woohoo!

[Darkspellmaster]

Both of them look awesome. Wasn't too keen on the situation with Babs for the more recent story in Batgirl, this one though looks fun so I'll pick it up. Oooh love the cover of the BoP, and Fenice seems like an interesting villain to have around. Also I'm wondering if Oracle is going to turn out to be Ulysses. He seems the sort to pull this stuff off, given his situation with Tim in the last Tec issues.

I wish Babs' costume was something like that. My favorite one is from Year One though.

That is a cool costume n so much better than silly Burnside Costume. Still I wish they went back to her new 52 costume from the Gail Simone series!

[millernumber1]

I'm really curious - completely divorced from the Burnside stories, what's wrong with the Stewart/Tarr Batgirl costume? Other than the kinda overly trendy shoes, I like the lines of it.

[godisawesome]

I can't say if I particularly dislike it in comparison to her other costumes but it does strike me as the costume most defined by being "fashionable", for lack of a better term, than anything else. Sometimes, if she's paired with the more utilitarian designs of characters like Nightwing or shown in fanart alongside the other Batgirls, she looks like the one least prepared for actual combat and adventure and more like she's accessorize her suit.

I actually kind of like the design on its own, but there's something more traditionally appealing in her classic grey and blue, and my personal favorite Batgril designs are still Cass and Steph's; the former because it looks like a truly intimidating associate of Batman, and the former because I just love the way it looked sleek but armored while being colorful.

Interesting. I'm terrible at fashion, so I don't notice much except the boots fitting the "trendy" catagory (and the laces being ridiculous). But it feels like a uniform you could actually put on, which is perhaps against the whole "comics run on rule of cool" aesthetic of Batman, but I enjoy that aspect of it. And it's much better than "Batman lite for girls" of the n52, I think, so maybe that's why I enjoy it.

As for Cass and Steph's costumes - absolutely, though I don't love how you can't see poor Cass's face at all. But it does fit how scary her abilities are. Steph's is my favorite, not just because of who wears it, but because the ribbed sides are just so cool, and identifiable. I know it's Steph Batgirl whenever I see it - and I'm so glad Dustin Nguyen drew from it for her new Spoiler costume.

I dunno - when handled by artists like Claire Roe and Roge Antonio in Birds of Prey, Babs's new costume looks pretty cool.

I like the look of the suit, but my issue with it is that it is completely unarmored. It's a trade-off for being easy to transport and change into quickly in the field, but that's a pretty high cost.
