You've written a beautiful article. I agree 100% with you. Sure, I love and miss Babs as Batgirl, but there are some changes that should never revert. I am glad Hal and Barry are back. I'm glad they brought back the Multiverse, the Anti-Monitor and the Green Lantern Corps. Yes, I missed all of those and am a big Silver Age fan boy. But there are still plenty of stories they could mine from those concepts. And no, I do not want to lose Wally or Kyle in the process. But Barbra Gordon's change, while tragic, became a strong iconic symbol for the handicapped everywhere. She grew into something far more important than all those other things I just mentioned. It became a necessity to keep her that way. Now, I still believe this whole reboot is a gimmick. But I could be wrong. If it's real, several things will revert back after the readers vote by keeping their cash. I pray this reverts back. Again, I LOVE Barb in the bat suit, but it has to be a flashback or alternate Earth. The main Barb HAS to remain crippled and strong, an example to all. | |||||||
