i will never understand why we’re always on the first batgirl. or why babs always has to be batgirl because she’s the most “well-known” (which i’ve seen cited as a reason for babsgirl’s return in n52). dick grayson is the first and most well-known robin but he gets to grow the fuck up and move on. jason gets to be red hood. even tim sometimes gets to grow up to make room for dami!robin. but babs can never be oracle and cass/steph can never be the only/main batgirl because…? because having disabled superheroes is too far? because having more than 1-2 women in the batfamily is too much work? it’s such bullshit i can’t believe dc keeps getting away with it and people keep defending it
#barbara gordon#dc critical#wank for ts#i’m probably preaching to the choir here but jfc#i don’t understand the ‘but tkj was bad’ argument either like y’all know that there are other ways to become disabled right??#not to mention magically fixing her disability doesn’t…actually fix anything about tkj… but anyways#ableism mention tw#this is mainly about adaptations but also main comics continuity#i know stephcass recently got to be batgirls again which is great but it still feels like the babsgirl show#and i don’t want discount oracle who’s still an acrobat i want REAL oracle back
