how come Batman has never raised a little girl ?

[oasis1313]

Bruce adopted Cass in the Old 52.

He probably will too in this new continuity, once he's back.

So in the new DC Universe, only Jason was adopted? I expect Duke will be adopted, though.

Bruce adopted Cass in the Old 52.

In her mini, and then she was pushed into limbo. Not a great adoption, that

For what? once snyder leaves i doubt that there will be writters with interest inwritting him, he have characters just like him (Tim Drake) or better (Damian Wayne) already, he's only being used right now because Snyder made him, once he leaves Batman, Duke is likely to go to limbo.

Oh yeah! in 2006 her 73-issue-long solo-book that was selling 30K on average got cancelled due to editorial madate, and after her mini finished in 2008 she got benched so that lamer characters that apparently are fan-favourites amoung the dc editorial could shine more, and a 4 years later, KABOM!! Flashpoint happened because sales were awesome...and now we have Babs humilliating the Batgirl mantle, awesome! right?

not true dick has been as young as 8 or 11 tim was ten jason was 12

Pre flashpoint: Depending on the source Dick was between 8 and 12 (but 12 is the most common version), Jason was also at best 12 (I have also seen 9 somewhere) and Tim was defnitally 13, when they started.

Bruce adopted Cass in the Old 52.

Cass was 18 or 19 when Bruce adopted her and she was already 16 or 17 when she became Batgirl. That counts hardly as "little Girl". And Barbara Gordon had probably more to do with "raising" Cass than Bruce.

[TheDarkNut]

Because the writers/artists love making all the Robins look the same too much. Black hair, blue eyes male only allowed.

That's entirely subjective, I think there are enough people who would disagree that she's humiliating the mantle.

[joybeans]

The current Batman did raise a little girl.

The whole book is humiliating the mantle. Babs needs to get rid of those Doc Martins and get her high heels back on.

[MajorHoy]

I would rather have had Batman raised by a little girl (or little girls).

[Güicho]

I think he would make a good dad he's raised boys before he's taken care of teen girls just not any little ones like ten or 12
and no earth 2 batman doesn't count
what do you guys think? wouldn't it be nice if batman had a little girl that thought her dad was the greatest
but also wanted to kick people for fun I mean help of course

Why not? It's where it happened, well before all the redundant Robin clones.
She was actually unique.

They're just boots. She kicks ass with them. They look good when she runs or swings into a fight.

Babs or her boots aren't humiliating "the mantle."

Its not just her boots, its the entire out-fit, its the entire art in general, its the social networks, the texting, etc, neither of that suits Barbara's Gordon character at all, which should be darker imo
Babs deserve better than this, the batgirl mantle itself deserves better than this, Gail's simone's run wasn't perfect, but it was stellar compared to this one.
