Batgirl #22

[sherkahn]

One page where Squire and Batgirl compare notes and their roles within their respective clans.






I do so love that while Stephanie is an agent of the Bat, she truly is her own independent person, more than anyone of the Bat-family members (including Catwoman).

And panel #3, what is Stephanie doing?

For those of you too young to remember, Steph is doing an impersonation of THIS.

It is funny that one of Steph's main skills that she is far, FAR more of a people person than the rest of the Bat Clan, even Dick doesn't get on with people as well she does.

I know that this is meant to be the lead in to the Batman Inc. issue where she teams up with Bruce to fight the girls school for assassins... which might actually have been what Bruce meant by sending her to a British finishing school, in that he meant he was sending her there undercover, not to uproot her from her home and send her across the Atlantic for no reason.

"which might actually have been what Bruce meant by sending her to a British finishing school, in that he meant he was sending her there undercover, not to uproot her from her home and send her across the Atlantic for no reason."

Yes, I pretty much figured that was exactly what it was meant to be the moment I saw that in The Return.

I think I have to slightly demur there, remember that Beryl's power means she talks to people on their own level, so she may the one making this conversation easier.

I think Steph gets on with people okay, but I don't think that people relate to her as Batgirl particularly. People might like her in a vague sort of way, but they would follow Dick into hell (and in many cases have) and, at the very least, respect Batman in a god-fearing sort of way.

Was there ever any real doubt? Sending her there was always part of her Batman Inc. mission.

I agree with everything in this comment.
