Very true, but until that show/movie exists, Barbara trumps Cassie and Steph. For whatever reason, the folks behind the various cartoons chose to use Barbara instead of newer Batgirls, and DC's dealing with the hand it's been dealt.
I don't like the idea of adaptations affecting the source medium so much, either -- it comes off a bit tail-wagging-the-dog -- but that's from my perspective as a fan. I can see the logic behind it to someone whose focus is the bottom line.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
