"I've encountered people, even people with disabilities who want to see Babs healed and out of the chair. I tend not to see them as people whose opinions are worth acknowledging. Their opinion is rooted in escapist wish fulfillment, trying to imagine a world where disabling injuries can be magically healed."

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.


I'm usually not a Simone fan, but I read the Newsarama article and it was enough to win me over. I'll be picking up Batgirl #1 in September.
