I agree. I'm probably dropping as well, but for the reasons I stated. I cannot accept the behavior of the title character as being 'in character', which I don;'t see changing without a change in writers.I have zero interest in how the mobility came about, so am not sticking around for that.(YMMV, of course).

I see where you're coming from with that. My trouble is, I'm not really getting a character out of her at all. Most of what we see is her being reactive, largely being led around by the villain. There's little I can point to and say "Babs".

I'm not that interested in sticking with a character who's essentially a cipher (no offense to [personal profile] icon_uk).

ITA about her being led around by the villain! What would have sold me on BabsBats would have been a combination of her smarts and planning with being able to implement without reliance on a third party! She should be as good as, if not better than, some of the more reactive members of the Bat Clan. And, if you're going to keep TKJ in continuity, at LEAST show us a character who's learned from the experience! Babs' personal victimhood, while I dislike it, separates her from the Bat Clan, and should give us a careful, meticulous planner, not what we see here. And then there's the stupidity of having a roommate! A roommate she doesn't know! Pre-Flashpoint Babs would have her history and pin numbers already!
