It's Barbara Gordon's Birthday!

[thebigapricot]

In 1976 DC issued a calendar that contained the birthdays of the superheroes. And on that calendar this very day was determined to be the birthday of Barbara Gordon. Over at Tumblr there is a celebration going at a few blogs and I thought I'd extend the party to here as well.


In NightWing #153 she seemed to be shaving at least a decade off her age ...


22? Hmm, I guess if that's what you say Babs!

Post if you love Babs!

Hey, if she says she's 22, she's 22. I enjoy my not destroyed credit score and not being on sex offenders list thank you very much.

[endis_ni]

And Dick in particular would be wise not to push it- what if she uploads those apartment-cam feeds to YouTube?

[darkblade]

Well they'll be taken down for nudity within hours but there are similar websites that accept that kind of thing...

I'd say Babs is around 30 or so. 29 at the yougest, but she reads likes she's in her early thirties. It makes sense chronologically, if Bruce is around 40 and she started being Batgirl when she was 15 or so.

It'd be easier if they'd let Bruce be around 40, but they keep trying to play him as younger than that. (i definitely read him as early-to-mid 40s, idgaf what they say)

I would like to see this calendar.

What do you get for the person who has everything but the use of her legs in a world of magic, cyborgs, and alien technology.

Hmmm.

Got it!

A book.

Happy 22nd birthday, Barbara! Have a cake made of badass and win and awesome.

And this time, we made sure Luthor wouldn't steal the cakes.

[pallas_athena]

Because that would be terrible.

I knocked on her door to let her know I left a gift for her, but she hasn't picked it up yet.

Post if you love Babs!

Done, and I do!

[leikomgwtfbbq]

Happy Birthday Babs!

So wait, Dick's Birthday is the first day of Spring and Babs' is the first day of Autumn? Coincidence? I don't think so! Wonder if they balance raw eggs together as an Equinox-Birthday activity?

Babs, stay 22 forever! (I personally have been 27 for the last 21 years...) and take a chance and tell Dinah and the world how you REALLY feel.

Love you!!!

I never bought Babs as being 22, she should be in her mid to late 30's imo.

Also yay , Babs! Happy Birthday and hope you continue to be with us.

[kingrockwell]

I'm pretty sure that was a joke. She's not 22, and they both know it, so they're laughing about it.

[kamino_neko]

Although shaving on the order of a decade off when you're under 40 is getting a bit silly.

[yaseen101]

'I thought you were turning...th'

'TWENTY TWO!'

'But I counted I thought you were..'

'TWENTY TWO!'

'B-'

'Look do you want me to hack into the Police Database put your name on a wanted sex offenders list, drain your credit card and leak naked pictures of you all over the internet and every tv screen in the world?

'Ummm,no.'

'So when I say I'm twenty two, I'm fucking TWENTY TWO dammit!'

[kingrockwell]

Yayyyyyyyyyyy Babs!
Yayyyyy lying about your age! Even if I've got a massive hate-on for Joe Bennett, I really liked this story for feeding into my shipping Dick/Babs platonically! I love them as friends, they are great friends.

[swatkat]

Rock on, Babs! 22 forever. ;)

[minyandu]

Happy Birthday Babs!
XDXDXD

[aelflar]

Babs is my age?! I feel kinda proud..and humbled all the same, looking at what she`s accomplished. Falling behind my vigilante plans..*sigh*

So wait..if she`s 22, how old is Dick? XD

[shadowpsykie]

happy (belated) Birthday babs! love you Kisses :)
