However, as she mentions in the opening pages, she's got upper arm strength like a mother. She's also trying to take out some lame Gotham villains, on legs that aren't quite up to par. Unfortunately, Babs has some PTSD to deal with when it comes to guns. No Badass with a Headset sort of attitude.Įvidently, Jim Gordon finds out about some long-shot surgery/treatment, and lo' and behold, Barbara can walk again! It doesn't seem likely, because Barbara still seems pretty young and unsure of herself. There is no mention of her being the Oracle in this book, so I have no idea if that happened or not.
Three years ago the Joker shot Barbara, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Constantly jacked into everything that was going on, she was the go-to girl for information. When Barbara Gordon was Oracle she was a badass with a headset. She made Wonder Woman cool, and she's doing the same thing for Barbara. What I meant to say, was that Simone is a great voice for women in comics. * snort* Yeah, it's realistic for a teenage guy to want to Wait For Marriage. Look at all the emo guys wandering around in YA novels. I'm not just bashing boys here! A lot of female writers do the same things to male characters. By that I mean that 'occasionally' men tend to write women the way they see them. She manages to write female superheroes who are a tad more realistic than some of those written by her male counterparts. I guess I should explain that a bit, but let's start off with. Yeah, I liked Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain, but I wanted Barbara. So, the thought of the original Batgirl finally coming back made my inner geek do somersaults.
See, I'm one of those who has been rooting for someone to stick Barbara Gordon's ass in a Lazarus Pit for years.
