Gail Simone on what's to come

An very insightful interview with Gail Simone on Newsarama concerning batgirl.

you can see it here, http://www.newsarama.com/comics/gail-simone-batgirl-cure-revelations-120111.html

Simone: Well, there's an unexpected date, some new neighbors of interest, including one who wants to be Batgirl, new villains, the return of an old one, the answers to the Oracle question, the back-story about her return to mobility, Batman, Bruce Wayne, Arkham, mom, a really unfortunate date, a BOP friend, pirates, a JLA guest star, the worst family reunion ever, muffins, the secret of her martial arts training, the answer to what really happened immediately after she was shot in the Killing Joke. And we're just getting warmed up.

Misfit anyone? my money is on Misfit :D
Also "The Answer to the Oracle Question" and a BoP Friend... and Worst Family Reunion ever. (James Jr?:)

Personal Thought: I know Snyder had James as Dick's archnemisis (his opposite, or Dark Mirror if you will :) but for some reason, i think he would make a better nemisis for Barbara... the good child and the dark child. Snyder showed him to be psychotic, but Brilliant! his whole scheme was imensely demented but shear genious. it would be interesting to have him be a villain for her... its probably not gonna happen but still.. :D

anyways some OH SO PRETTY Batgirl #6 cover art...

	I don't know about anyone else, but I really want to know about the muffins. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 29 comments) (Show 29 comments)

	Yes, it's the muffins that really grabbed me here. Are they blueberry? Apple-cinnamon? I have so many questions. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 20 comments) (Show 20 comments)

	In her book-that-was-just-words-and-no-pictures book, Gail wrote that the secret to great comic book writing was to have superheroes eating food. Green Arrow slurping spaghetti, Superman chowing down on pizza? Instant acclaim. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 6 comments) (Show 6 comments)

	On a more serious note, at first I wasn't all that keen on #7 with the retread of Killing Joke, but after hearing Gail talk about it, showing those events entirely from Barbara's perspective...okay, that could definitely be an interesting story. (Reply to this)

	Damn, that is a seriously nice cover. (Reply to this)

	i think they are still working on organically incorporating it into the story. i kinda like how Williams does it on Batwoman :D (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	On the other, it's kinda taking up space to do it this way. Especially since the page count is down. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I'm still not buying someone well into her twenties still being 'Bat-GIRL'. They could have easily made a new Bat identity. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 11 comments) (Show 11 comments)

	oh god yes! i also think she teases us so badly! She talks with BQM and others saying "Dude! Email me!" or somethign like that and it makes me think they are plotting horrifying or beautiful, regarlessly EXQUISITE masterpieces!

	Not for much longer, apparently. He's off after about issue six, apparently, but Simone's been on about finding a more consistent cover artist. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I'd hope the neighbor who wants to be Batgirl is Steph (or Cass, but Steph strikes me as the one who more likely would want to be Batgirl again), just so that she still exists somewhere, but, really, I'm still not reading it or any of the new DCU whether she is or not, so I guess it doesn't really matter (aside from hoping that people who do want to read it are happy).

	Misfit? Awesome!! :D Though I would be okay with both either Steph or Cass too...but Misfit, as a Gail Simone character, seems to fit the M.O. better. (Reply to this)

	Gorgeous cover! I have to say cover art seems to be one of the best things about comics nowadays. :) (Reply to this)
