To be fair, I feel like Steph would have been the more appropriate candidate for that whole lighthearted 'Batgirl of Burnside' thing. Not to say its what I would have sought out for her, but the up and coming, young and zesty vibe would have suited her just fine. Plus we could have avoided all that hubbub at the time about Babs 'seeming' regressed in order to fit a certain tone and demographic. Oh and yes Cass also looks great, I like the artist clearly took inspo from the Black Bat outfit and her current Orphan look. Cass needs a cape is all I'm sayin.Originally Posted by adrikito
I liked Cass here but.... Steph is like another batgirl of burnside here..

Well said! And I actually liked the two issues where Steph was basically filling in for Babs way more than the rest of the Burnside run. Though I don't go quite as far as some and say that Burnside Babs was the same as Steph (thankfully - I much prefer BQM to the Burnside run). Originally Posted by RedBird

I'd rather Cass have a different hat than a cape. Not that I'd say no to a cape, but the skullcap just doesn't work for me.

I'm with you in that I really like the fact that it's reminiscent to her Year One outfit, I love that it has the OG Batgirl colours in there, I am a sucker for the nostalgia. But I do have two complaints. One being, yeah, the lack of a cowl. It just looks really goofy to me, like she is wearing a Halloween kitty cat ear headband rather than any sort of mask or protective head gear. Whats wrong the cowl DC, it looks great. I'd honestly take the Burnside cap cowl over this headband look. Originally Posted by millernumber1

It looks like she couldn't find the right shoe sizes for either foot. I'm hoping that that is just the artist trying to decide on which one and showing both as an example, but so far I can't find any other images to confirm or deny that 'one large boot, one small boot'....thing.

Here we go!
I don't hate the lack of cowl (since I don't really care about the secret identity plots, so I don't mind if they Clark Kent the cowl. ) As long as they keep the ears, I'm fine with it.
I originally thought the boots were uneven, but now I think that was just a design test, to see which length they liked better. Until we FINALLy get Batgirl #26, though, I don't think we'll know for sure. (And they keep delaying everything - not sure what's up with that.)"We're the same thing, you and I.

Well not to take the focus off Steph too much, but I guess now we know now thanks to the solicit art that the boots are indeed even. I'm glad they went with the knee high option rather than the thigh high one.

I heard about this - I'm so glad to see it, finally! No one in the thread on a different forum seemed to have gotten this - it's so pretty! Looks like Weisman was indeed reading Tynion's Tec (which, I know, isn't everyone's favorite version of Steph, but I really loved it, with a couple of issues that didn't work for me).

I thought it was an on-point description of Steph, but I didn't think it was reflective of Tynion's Steph...unless she starts inexplicably hacking stuff as per being "wickedly smart" Originally Posted by millernumber1

The whole "wickedly smart" stuff wasn't usually how people described her - more "girl next door" or "determined/stubborn". The "something to prove" thing is true of Dixon and Tynion Steph (and I think Tynion was deliberately trying to recreate Dixon Steph, so that's fair). Originally Posted by Frontier

I just noticed something, though: "Spoiler-B-Two-Eight" - Batman #28, the first time Spoiler appears in the n52!"We're the same thing, you and I. We're both lies that eventually became the truth." Lara Notsil, Star Wars: X-Wing: Solo Command, Aaron Allston
