Batgirl: Year One excerpts

[3goodtimes]

Issue #3 of Batgirl: Year One. Batman and Robin confront the new vigilante in town.

Heh.





Babs recalls her first meeting with Robin.


Issue #4. Barbara's first attempt at swinging around Gotham.



Oh dear.





Yes, knock out the much younger girl and drag her back to your cave. Good plan, Bruce.

Your lair, Dick?

Later, in issue #6, Dick gives Babs a bike and some bat toys.

"Oh my god, she's totally breathing on something I breathed on! My masturbatory fantasies have been fulfilled."

I love the little bat ears on that helmet.

Comments

[protogarrett]

More, please. Never seen this before. It's excellent. I've never seen Babs as Batgirl.

[3goodtimes]

I highly recommend buying the trade (or book or whatever they call em) of Batgirl: Year One. It's wonderful. A fab introduction to Batgirl Babs.

[crinos]

Wow, seriously?

You know, I was born in 83, so by the time I was old enough to appreciate comics Babs was already wheelchair bound, and even I've always thought of Barbra as Batgirl.

Its official: I feel old.

[protogarrett]

Same here for 83, but I never read DC till Scans Daily.

[joasakura]

you..feel..

ok, so I'm going to just go drag my mummified remains over in the corner, here.

:remembers, vaguely, babs as congresswoman from her own youth:

[autolychus2]

Yeah, me too. I was in 9th grade in '83.

[saralakali]

Same here. (Though technically Yvonne Craig was my introduction to Batgirl, so let's hear it for librarian!Babs.)

[joasakura]

I loved her batgirl costume. *_*
