Batgirl 7 Preview up at Newsarama

[espanolbot]

My reasoning is thus, the preview has coolness in it, so posting some of it will mean we can post less awesome from the actual issue when it comes out later next week.

A minor bit of awesome though, Steph gets a bit of NolanBatman's kit.

Is that the villain from the animated Batman who's entire shtick was that she was a gigantic masturbation joke?

[theanswer]

How exactly is a woman riding a "rocket" a metaphor for masturbating?

That's a full on sex joke.

[theanswer]

If Damian and Steph don't end up together when he is legal I will be very upset.

[robogeek]

Nah... she's Tim's.

I'm thinking Milagro Reyes. She'll drive him NUTS.

[sistermagpie]

You know, having just read the Batman issue if I were Dick I'd be bitching a lot to Alfred. I'd want a helper like Santa Babs with secret surprise presents hidden all over the place to pop out when I need them.

"I'd want a helper like Santa Babs with secret surprise presents hidden all over the place to pop out when I need them"

Don't all men?

[sherkahn]

The Velocipede? You're kidding.

Oh come on....

[shadowpsykie]

thought it was the Batpod?

[shadowpsykie]

Heh! steph has a Batpod!

also, hmmm Tim and Tam (I think its Tam... or Cam...) Fox,

Chris Kent and Damien (Though Damien and Steph sounds loads of fun)

Steph and Maybe Saint Nick?

also i was wondering, in the last issue, why did Babs and Dick think the Steph/Damien comparison was gross? i know they implied thier relationship but... is till dont get it...

[cf105]

Steph and Cass come on SD! I can't be the only one!

[kingrockwell]

Damian is ten years old. Steph's eighteen.
and god i hope they don't do the st. nick thing because they're obviously planning on it with her or Babs but the dude's a total cipher right not

[kenn_el]

For the same reason that Babs/Dick was gross. She had a PhD and was a Congressgirl, while Dick was just beginning to matriculate.

[schala_kid]

I'm guessing the fact that she's 8 years his senior and the thought of Steph/Damien being that way is a tad creepy to them.

[thebigapricot]

Damian is running out of insults. What's next? "Batgirl has cooties?"

[bluejaybirdie]

Well, he is ten.

[icon_uk]

Oh look, Batman getting the shit kicked out of him so the Sidekick Squad can come to his rescue... how novel...

[shadowpsykie]

heh, did you see the Batman 696? PREVIEW? :)

[retro_nouveau]

Good riddance to the punk. No brats allowed.

Babs' building: lame. Babs' pocket rocket: lame. Let's take Roxy's and paint it eggplant.

Déjà view...
Terry: "This is unbearably cool!"
Bruce: "You scratch it, no allowance."
There was even tagging by some Jokerz...?

[birdofprey]

Omg, what issue is your icon from? *loves it*

[sinisterlink]

If I tried to drive one of those batpod things I gurantee I would be splattered against a wall in about three seconds. "Hey, look how fast it can g- *crashexplodefireOMGdeath*

Whenever Steph is getting all mad at Damian and being like, "What is WRONG with him!?" I just want Babs to be like, "Now Stephanie, sometimes when little boys like a girl they don't know what to do and will act like total jerks to them." And then Steph can be all, "Noooooooooooooo!!"

[icon_uk]

Yeah, have to say that that's not a vehicle design that impresses me, not the same way a proper kick-ass bike would, that thing looks unsteerable, and clumsy as hell.

[aaron_bourque]

A minor bit of awesome though, Steph gets a bit of NolanBatman's kit.

And it looks even worse in static images.

[mullon]

This seems like a good time to restate my request for the first time Roxy Rocket appeared in comics.

[daningram.insanejournal.com]

So Steph is driving a bat dildo. I would have thought Scans Daily would have loved that ;)

[jcbaggee]

"Stephanie, you are foolish and immature and I don't want you to be Batgirl!

"....so I'm just going to go about building this highly advanced, eggplant colored racing pod on the off chance that I come around. But right now, NO!"

[lieut_kettch]

Steph and Roxy... catfight... while straddling... giant phallic symbol...






I'll be in my bunk.

I know this gets repetitive (yes, I'm still bitter) but this counts as 7 months + and still no mention of a certain other Batgirl un-ceremoniously dumped in issue 1 in one page. And going into the April solicits (4 months into 2010) still no mention of said character (the one Didio said - and I quote - there were "big plans for in 2010" - when Batgirl #1 came out). This elephant in the room in the Batgirl comic (and the other Bat-comics as well) and the deliberate avoidance (can it be anything else at this point) of the Batgirl who existed between the present one and Babs I think prevents me from enjoying what is clearly meant to be a lighter book and a character (Steph) I usually like.

And when will Barbara get out of the Bat-cave already? I can't see the Birds of Prey operating out of there when that title comes back and Bruce himself will be back by the Fall as well. And if she does have her own place to stuff things (as it seems from the preview) why can't she go there as an HQ?

[lencannon]

She was on the first page of the last issue.

Did the link work for anyone else? It isn't working for me.

[yaseen101]

It worked for me.....
