	...no. This just is not Babs Gordon. She would never take that sort of guff from anyone. Not under Gail Simone's pen. My guess is that it's really someone in editorial either doing major rewrites, or just plain dictating it to Gail. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 6 comments) (Show 6 comments)

	Well, she just got her ass handed to her by this crazy-ass rampaging super-villain that she feels she can still catch--I don't think she would have the time or the inclination to give this old lady shit back, catching the bad guy's more important. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I kind of get the feeling she's just tuning her out as not particularly important at that particular point in time and responding by rote, since she's probably got bigger priorities at that point than getting into a shouting match with some cabbie.

Yes, because they're allowed to just abuse Gotham citizens these days for accidents. Would you prefer she slapped the driver, mouthed off some more and then drained their bank account whilst Canary and Huntress snicker off to one side?

I also love the trend to blame editorial for what could be just plain old bad writing.

How about just said, "Yeah, thanks for that, excuse me while I go catch the COP-KILLER who PUSHED ME OFF A ROOF, preferably without puncturing a lung on my broken ribs"?

No reason to just sit back and take getting shouted at *for the same accident* without returning fire.

And given that this is completely out of character for Babs *as written by the same writer for the last five years*, I'm not putting money on it being Gail Simone fucking Babs up here.

	"You freakin' Bat people! All the time with your vampire ways!" Oh honey. I think Golden Age Bruce would have something to say about that. :x In more useful news, damn I need to pick this issue up. I forgot it came out today. :o (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	That was hilarious! Bats with a gun I miss crazy ol' Golden/early Silver age Bats! Well, I'm not that old, but everything seemed a lot simpler for comics back then :P (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	I thought this week's Batgirl was quite an improvement over last week's. The writing was less stilted, the story more interesting... I actually enjoyed it quite a bit! I'm glad I decided to give this a couple more issues to warm up. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	I told myself I'd give it three issues to really grab me. If Gail can't grab me in more than 60 pages, there's something seriously wrong. That said, I'm not totally grabbed yet. Still on the fence. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	"Maybe a lack of context doesn't help." It doesn't. She's literally looking for a crazed, murderous super-villain that she was fighting just before. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 4 comments) (Show 4 comments)

	I think she hit the cab, actually, not the other way around. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	I say the cab lady was being more of a prick in this case. Her initial reaction is to care more about her car than than a person who might be seriously injured. Babs's comment was just a response to that. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	Cass would have never had to put up with this crap. That lady would take one look at her costume and get back in the cab. Then again, Cass probably would have caught the villain by now. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 9 comments) (Show 9 comments)

	No, I don't think even Steph would be vocally snippy to this degree with a civvie. She might run it in her internal monologue - "And what about my ribs, jerk?" to herself. Heck, even to Babs as her handler, but it would be off even for her, IMO. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 7 comments) (Show 7 comments)
