God with timeline squished are people going to be like “Barb wasn’t even disabled for long; Bruce was also a wheelchair user after knightfall, she’s not special” in a dismissive way. This is me making up a guy to get mad at but I’ve seen so many “bad things that were part of a character’s arc are the same as bad things that completely changed a character” posts it makes me siiiiccckkk

#PREDICTABLY this is about Jason #edit: different but related thoughts about characters being put back where they started #mostly about the GL’s #and honestly Jason is in there with Barb but it’s less? but it’s still a form of the same thing #you go red and it’s a thing and then you’re Christmas lantern for a bit and then you’re just a Gl again. you end the world and then #you’re a GL again. you spent a while discovering how any why you hate the institution. you’re a gl again #Barb built O. you’re batgirl again.#and if these things are just dismissed in the writing or by some fans because other characters went through bad things too #it’s like. but it’s different on a both in and out of text way #Jason became Rh but he’s just a grown-up robin now he’s a Gotham vigilante. it doesn’t really matter that he died becaus everybody’s died.#I think Barb being batgirl again might really be the worst of this but it’s so bad with Hal as well #just because of the length and the way they are. back where they started.#difference between a character arc and trials you come out the same but stronger vs like.#part of why they felt they had to have her retire before TKJ because if she were still batgirl then it would be like #something batgirl could get through. and recover from. because she’s still batgirl and she was batgirl when she was hurt
