I have to go read some Teen Titans (2007 re-boot iteration) now for Kon-El goodness.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
As part of the DC reboot, the new Batgirl will be... Barbara Gordon.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Are they going to reboot her legs?

Looks that way.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm not so keen on that. It seems to negate all the coolness of her character as Oracle, all her suffering and rising-above and establishing herself etc. And for what? So they can tack her name onto Batgirl again? And if they're doing it just to have the Joker cripple her again, that seems weirder and more horrible somehow, like she's in some purgatory constantly re-experiencing that trauma.
Also, one less really cool disabled character.
I'm not really seeing the positives.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, fuck no. I really like paraplegic Barbara. Like, really really. Do you have a link to that and any other mistakes they might be making?

The news is only trickling out. There are lots of mistakes to come over the next few weeks.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I loved Babs as batgirl, I really did. but I OMGLOVEFLAILFLAIL her as Oracle, and if DC thinks they can take that whole history away and keep any respect from me, they can suck it.

Art Crawl!!!
Yeah, that just - well, it's wrong!
Oracle just rocks and I agree - I loved Barbara Gordon as Batgirl but I love it more when that's her past history that informs who she is as Oracle.
