"Cripple the bitch" is from a March 2006 interview with Alan Moore. In an interview with Wizard magazine, Moore explains how little care went into making such a series-altering decision: “I asked DC if they had any problems with me crippling Barbara Gordon–who was Batgirl at the time–and if I remember correctly, I spoke to Len Wein, who was our editor on the project, and he said ‘Hold on to the phone, I’m just going to walk down the hall and I’m going to ask [former DC Executive Editorial Director] Dick Giordano if it’s alright,’ and there was a brief period where I was put on hold and then, as I remember it, Len got back onto the phone and said ‘Yeah, okay, cripple the bitch.’ It was probably one of the areas where they should’ve reined me in, but they didn’t.”
