Stephanie Brown: Spoiler, Robin, Batgirl Appreciation 2019

[Harpsikord]

Throwing my hat in the ring for preferring the half-mask. It keeps part of her "iconic" appearance but also I'm a sucker for free-flying hair.

Guess what?
STEPH IS GONNA JOIN YOUNG JUSTICE OFFICIALLY!!!!!!

Didn't Bendis say there were plans for Tim and Steph in the bat books last month? Here: https://www.newsarama.com/47632-naom...ll-walker.html

Nrama: I’m just hoping for more Stephanie Brown. That’s who I would like to see.

Bendis: Oh, thank you. Yeah, no, people really responded well to Tim and Stephanie. There's Bat office plans with that stuff, I do know. So that’s being taken care of. But if it wasn't, I would've definitely grabbed both of them for something because, obviously, I'm enjoying writing them a great deal.

Makes me think Steph's NOT joining the team... and will instead be taking Tim away after a couple of issues or so. If Amethyst goes too due to her solo, that would be two out, three in.

A vote here for half mask, though I prefer purple or black - bright blue seems wrong.

Obviously absolutely everyone is joining Young Justice. Naomi too. I wonder if Amethyst will depart now that she will have a 6-part miniseries (starting in Feburary I think).

Bendis is not going to be writing Young Justice much longer. He'll be co-writing with David Walker, which I guess means they'll have story conferences, and I hope the book will continue to be as much fun.

Walker is probably just there because Naomi is. And sales need to improve - Teen Titans outsells YJ now and it's been running longer. Though things aren't as bad as the sales for Champions were when Marvel axed it.

Well, as I said previously, I'm still in the "domino" camp...makes sense, since my favorite Steph identities are Robin and Batgirl - but I like that the half-mask allows Steph to look less spooky, and more like her spunky, cheerful or angry self.

I'm also somewhat confused - but maybe this is to wrap up what he did in #5, and send Steph off to the Batfamily again. Whatever it is, I'll take it. I've been missing my girl too much.

I think domino would make her look too similar to the Huntress.

Certainly in Huntress's current look! Good point.

Aside from as Robin, has Steph ever worn a domino mask?

Careful what you wish for. They might ask Sean Murphy to redesign the costume!

I just don't think any look is as memorable as the full-face mask...it just feels more unique and "spooky" to me.

WOW.. I can´t believe that I didn´t see this before.. Maybe because I was more busy than the usual.

THE REST OF CHARACTERS... AQUALAD? SIDEWAYS IS HERE... WTF.. ARROWETTE EXISTS here?



I THOUGHT THAT BENDIS SAID RECENTLY THAT STEPH WAS RESERVED FOR SOMETHING RELATED WITH BATMAN Despite the new Tynion runs seems more focused in the batcat..

Her cowl as Batgirl was similar to a domino, though with open eyes.

Maybe I'm a weirdo, but I actually don't dislike either the Burnside of Sean Murphy Batgirl designs. If they hired Murphy to redesign Steph's costume, at least that means they are spending money on Steph!

I agree it's very spooky - but that spookiness just feels wrong for Steph, to me. Ah, well.

HOPEFULLY! I mean, it could have both Bat/Cat AND Steph, right?

It's hard for me to think it feels wrong when it was part of her look for so long.

I mean, as a mask it can be so expressive that it doesn't even need to come off as spooky.

To me, the pre-Flashpoint half mask is more cuteness than spookyness. Just look at the impressions shown on the mask, so cute.

I agree that it's part of her original look...but I just don't love it as much as her Robin and Batgirl looks. Doesn't mean I don't get super excited whenever I see any Steph showing up!

And I agree it can be expressive - Pete and Rebecca Woods in Robin back in the early 2000s made her super cute, and some of the artists have also made her very angsty looking.

Agreed. Especially on Kris Anka's version. How can you resist this cuteness?

I am not against the mask.. But I prefer this because I love to see her cuteness too..
