Casstoon regarding Barbara possibly returning to the Batgirl role

[espanolbot.insanejournal.com]

By me


On a similar subject, Newsarama are currently running a poll asking who people would like the next Batgirl to be. Currently Cass is in the lead with nearly 400 votes more votes than Barbara, with Steph only a few dozen votes behind her.

Which I think is kind of neat. ^^

Jaimezrael? Bugfall? I'm confused!

Yeah, what the hell, it's all fanfic anyway.

I loved the Earth 3 Jaime Blue Beetle (aka Scarlet Scarab) appearance in "Brave and the Bold"

Jaime (Talking to his armour) - "The other's don't know what I'm capable of. Someday I'll show them I've got the true heart of a hero"

Batman (in hiding) - Hero? A possible ally?

Jaime - ...I keep it in a big jar at the back of my closet!

Batman (scowls...)

...but he's also a dentist, right?

Good job on drawing Jaime!

Don't vote for "Babs", it's a trick!

Heh.

(Psst. Babs was a Congresswoman, not a Senator.)

Babs said it herself, after God knows how many years in a wheelchair she is no longer able to fit into her old batsuit.
Of course they'll probably have a Rockyesque 'getting-into-shape' montage for that.

Or ignore previous canon, that works too.

I don't see why we need a new Batgirl in the first place - we've already got a perfectly good one as is. I mean, yes, messed up by editorial mandate, sure, but who isn't these days? She's popular, she's immediately recognizable, she's a respected part of the Bat-family - why does she need to be replaced?
I'm not conservative when it comes to comics - I like change. Change is fine - it keeps things shaken up and interesting. But these days it seems like there's this vast appetite for novelty that demands constant, unrelenting change - if it doesn't elicit a gasp of shock every few pages, it doesn't hold water. For crying out loud, the original Batgirl held onto her title for, what - almost thirty years? And Cass has been around for, what, about ten, fifteen? She still has years of growing and changing left in her - she shouldn't be tossed aside for the new flavor of the month. It's maddening.

but 90's fans will still love babs. Primaily because of B:TAS
