pickOh yes. I love the vintage feel, the sense of going back to Batgirl's orgins now, in a way that obviously plays off lore that has developed over the years, e.g. the Oracle/Cassandra references, the hint of something with Dick, the ominous whisper in references to the Joker.
The writers and artists did a great job of presenting a recognizable character with a bit more youthful hubris and pep, 1/?
I love this! Cass (one of the Batgirls) has been reading the classics, and the store owner warns her that Poe “can be pretty scary.”
pickThis is a fun group of superheroes, and I‘m liking the story arc so far. Black Canary puts together a team with Starling, Katana, and Poison Ivy, and Batgirl joins too at times. Vol. 1 (first 7 issues) had them trying to find who is controlling people‘s minds and sometimes struggling to work together.
Obviously, I couldn‘t pass this up when it showed up on a search at work. A new adaptation of a comic that lives rent-free in my head? Yup. Here for it. 🤷🏻♀️ #thekillingjoke #christafaust #garyphillips #alanmoore #brianbolland #dccomics #batman #joker #barbaragordon #batgirl
We‘ve been recording “Saturday Stories” to post on the Library‘s Facebook page since lockdown started, and have continued to do so even now that we‘re open again, because we‘re not able to have our in-person programming yet. Since this Saturday is also #BatmanDay, I got REALLY into it. 😂💛🖤💛 #whatisthestoryofbatman #batgirl #barbaragordon #dccomics #dccosplay
I enjoyed the balance between depicting a young woman frustrated by the limiting requirements of ideal career fields, a repeated pattern of men telling her she literally didn't 2w
Back to the vintage style I mentioned, there's some dated terms that Babara is using to refer to Black Canary, bad she is consistently acknowledging when her efforts are overshadowed by more 2w
