He has dozens of people begging for his approval, including quite a few who swear they aren't. Batwoman doesn't care, so he should respect that strength.Ragnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373059673228550524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-23426158985672595372011-01-14T17:11:37.515-05:002011-01-14T17:11:37.515-05:00That's the beauty of Batwoman: she really does...That's the beauty of Batwoman: she really doesn't give a flying fuck if Batman approves of her or not.notinthefacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-78472888524881556592011-01-10T15:37:21.221-05:002011-01-10T15:37:21.221-05:00You know when they first moved the Birds to Metrop...You know when they first moved the Birds to Metropolis, some Batfangirls were ANGRY about this and listed it among the bad things DC had done to women? Because it was after Batgirl ended, and Spoiler was killed, so they took it as taking the women away from Gotham rather than the promotion for Oracle that it was.<br /><br />There's a weird subsection of DC fandom that is utterly Gotham-centric, and desperately desire a strong female character... who follows the Grand Alpha Bat and is constantly praised by him.Ragnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373059673228550524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-71210405067671856072011-01-09T18:19:51.622-05:002011-01-09T18:19:51.622-05:00Unfortunately, the last time they took a former Ba...Unfortunately, the last time they took a former Batgirl, spun her off into her own character under a different name, introduced her in a completely unrelated series, expanded her stomping ground to the DC Universe Entirely ... eventually, she just got dragged back to Gotham. These days, she's Yet Another Bat-Supporting-Character, and even the team she built on her own is getting treated more and more as another bunch of Bat-Operatives.<br /><br />Just watch.
