What an arrogant, douchebaggy thing to type. You totally disregard people's desire to have hope for a fictional character to succeed in overcoming impossible odds, which at its essence is what superheroes are about.

Quote:

Recovering from a severe sports injury through hard physical training and rebuilding muscles that atrophied would qualify as overcoming impossible odds. Using a purple ray or other deus ex machina to fix an otherwise irreparable spinal injury is an easy fix. It doesn't resolve the conflicts Barbara has to face, it just removes them.

Meaning what exactly? We don't know how she's regaining the use of her legs, or if she actually ever lost them in the first place. So this point has nothing to do with my issue with what you said.

Quote:

I should also note that the challenges posed by disabilities can be as much social as they are physical. There's a heavy stigma attached to any impairment, and having fleshed-out sympathetic primary characters like Barbara in Birds of Prey is an important tool to combat societal prejudice and help the disabled receive better treatment in day-to-day life.

Again nothing to do with my problem with what you posted.

    - Pretty much sums up my view on the issue as well. Oracle is a far more compelling character than Batgirl, in part due to her past as Batgirl (no text) · Hatman · Sun Jun 12, 2011 at 12:42:27 am EDT
