It just keeps getting worse and worse

Well, I thought it would never happen, I thought DC's plans for "greater diversity" was going to keep one good thing they had going. But No.

I really think I have now completely lost all faith in DC.

You know, I have a crackpot theory.

With JLA, they keep saying that it's an origin story of this new Justice League, which made people believe that the whole universe would actually be a LOT younger and a lot of characters like Dick might not even exist--however, one thing Johns like to do with his titles are flashbacks with "Secret Origins." He did it with Green Lantern, he did it with Superman, and Flash: Rebirth so played with Barry's origin that it kinda was a "secret" origin. All that makes me think that there's some element of flashback in that.

How does this relate to Batgirl here? Well, what if this is a flashback book? Someone like Steph is still going around as Batgirl, but this book takes place before she was paralyzed?

Well, the Batman editor said Bruce Wayne was gonna be the "one true Batman" now, so I like to think Babs here is the "One true Batgirl" as well. Unless Bruce Wayne is getting some secret origin thing in four-five books as well >_>

Well, I think the difference is that Bruce was creating Batman like vigilantes all over the world and Dick was being the Batman of Gotham--a big difference between that and the succesion cycle between Babs and Steph.

OR: They could be going like the whole crappy Mystery of the Batwoman animated movie and both Babs, Cass, and Steph are playing the role of Batgirl! It would bring a literal meaning to Miller's "Team Batgirl" concept!

You're getting my hopes up. ;_;

Or alternatively its doing what the last volume of Batgirl did where the first issue had the previous batgirl costume on the cover. The book may well be about Barbra, doesn't mean she's batgirl though.
