I laughed so hard about Canary admonishing Babs about hacking the Calculator's system. I mean just imagine her giving that talk to Batman and the look she would get in return.
Also, how many times have they tried to recreate Oracle now? It just feels weird as Oracle doesn't really work unless it's Babs due to the tradeoff, but the writers just keep trying to make it happen while also keeping Babs as Batgirl.
You know what I love? Combo beef sandwiches. Sweet peppers, mozzarella, dipped. So good.
...
What was I talking about?
Oh! Another thing that I love is how a mature and capable female character trained by Batman to keep her nerve and portrayed as unflappably rational for two decades gets infantilized, both in appearance and personality, instead of simply creating a new character to tell the story.
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.
