Favorite suits?
I’m planning on cosplaying Stephanie for an upcoming convention, and I just can’t decide on which version! I’m leaning more towards her batgirl/spoiler costumes over her Robin one. I just want to see which ones are the fan favorites so that I can get a better idea of what I want to do.
I already posted this to Stephanie’s subreddit but wanted to see what everyone here thought.

What would you change in the Batgirls (2021) run?
(Glass Cabinet Hobbies Dan Mora Variant | Batgirls #1)
I really liked the concept of Batgirls but whilst I did enjoy it I feel as though it left a lot to be desired in its writing. There were standout moments but I feel like it could've done with a more cohesive story without elements such as the body swapping which didn't really become anything afterwards.

My Batgirl pitch for Mr James Gunn
Ok, I’ve posted this in a few comments sections over the years, but might as well throw it up as my first real post…
James Gunn’s DCU needs its Barbara Gordon, my pitch would be a case of having cake and eating it.
Live action - Babs is Oracle, Cass is Batgirl.
BUT! to help flesh out the early years of this new universe (which appears to be set in a more established timeline), I’d have Babs as Batgirl in an animated series heavily influenced by her Year One comic tone showing Gotham from her POV… and NOT another Batman/Robin show.
You could even have the live action Oracle actress voice her animated flashback self.
Fans of both Batgirls get their girl in the spotlight to shine (sorry Steph fans) and Oracle gets her deserved and needed representation.
Everyone wins… apart from Steph fans, again sorry.
Now. Does anyone have Mr Gunn’s number? ;)

Hush 2
I am curious to see if Cass will be in this sequel since she was infamously left out of the original story. Same with Steph.
Hopefully Barbara will be in her wheelchair as Oracle although I bet she will be portrayed as Batgirl in this one as I suspect Cass was excluded from the original because they prefer Babs.
Also, it looks like Huntress might be making a comeback in this one, finally!
