    I had to get Batgirl. I have too many male-dominated books and I needed a fresh female-lead to quell the storm of manliness I read. People said Batwoman was better, but I like Babs, so there wasn't much contest.

    I was wondering what Birds of Prey was. So it's like a female-dominated super team or something, eh?
    Always great to meet another Barbara Gordon Batgirl fan! Birds Of Prey, in my mind at least, is basically what would happen if Beatrix Kiddo from the Kill Bill movie made an elite team for GOOD instead of being just killers, and followed the concept of the 80's show The A-Team. All the Birds are on the lamb from the law in one form or another, but for their own and different reasons are determined to collectively help whoever they can.
    Pull list:
    Adv. Time, Batgirl, B & R, BOP, E 2, Fearless Defenders, Guardians of the Galaxy, He-Man, JL: Dark, Katana, Shadowman, Swamp Thing, The Ultimates, Ultimate Spider-Man, Worlds' Finest

    While I'm glad Babs in in Birds, did you have to pick that cover? The "Babs needs to pee really badly" one? *Shudder*

    Babs as Oracle had some awesome moments, but yeah, I think ultimately I like her best as Batgirl. :D

    The art is spectacular, though.
    You know, I never got the problem with her having a crush on Bruce. I mean, think about it--you're a teenaged girl, horomones going crazy, who do you think would be more immediately appealing: the older, mysterious badass with a heart of gold, or the annoying little kid who's following him around and making bad puns?

    Sure, but I think Barbara should be above that kind of thing at this stage of her life.

    I guess it depends on which version we're talking--during her first intro, when she started in her late-20s, it's possible. Post-crisis when she's maybe in her early 20s, or in the DCnU when she started around 16, I think it's a little less likely.

    Was she a teenager in that story? Besides, it reminds me of what happened in Beyond, something that made me stop watching it.

    She was way younger in Batgirl: Year One then she was when she started in the Bronze Age, I'm pretty sure.

    It depends how long she's been Batgirl. If it's been a while, then I would think she would grow up over it. If it's only been a short while, then the DC timeline makes no sense.

    Oh, okay, my bad--I only read that once a LONG time ago, so I honestly don't remember her age other than that she wasn't old.

    Yeah--like, if we were talking about her now, I think her still crushing of Bruce would be creepy. But less than a year into her career? Yeah, I could buy that.

    It's ok.

    Well, she doesn't look like a teenager:

    She looks like Michelle Pfeiffer/Catwoman in that picture.
