Talk:Barbara Gordon

message: I visited this page looking for an answer to two specific questions. First, what is Commissioner Gordon's current status in re Oracle: is he in contact with her? does he know that she's his daughter? does he know that his daughter is even alive? Second, what is the relationship between Oracle and the other members of the JLA? 
 
I found an answer to neither question on this page. I don't know that this means that it isn't a good article, but I would venture to suggest that it's not quite as complete as it might be.
 
Also, Gail Simone's comment in the "Oracle (1988-present)" section should perhaps be moved to the "Critical and editorial commentary" section. As it stands, the latter section seems to be dominated by people who either (a) liked Babs better as Batgirl, or (b) want her to stay on as Oracle so she can serve as a role model to the handicapped. There should be at least one representative there of Viewpoint C: Babs should stay on as Oracle because she's cooler as an all-seeing Lady in the Tower than as a standard superhero. Just a thought. -Agur bar Jacé (talk) 16:22, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Please read Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Style guidance and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction). Minute details of fictional character's live are to be avoided. It doesn't matter if Jim Gordon know's Oracle's current status unless the plot has real world historical value to DC Comics or there is an extensive amount of secondary sources commenting on the subject. Same rule applies to her standing with other members of the JLA. Gail Simone's comment belong where it is, primarily due to the fact that she was actually writing for the character for an extensive amount of time. Plus she's giving an overall opinion of the character. The Critical and editorial commentary deals with the specific convtroversies of Godon's disability. "Point c" is basically the same as "point b", people like oracle because she isn't run-of-the-mill. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 20:17, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

message: DC Senior Vice President Dan DiDio comments, "Some stories... are so strong that undoing them would be a crime. The DCU would be a lesser place without Barry's sacrifice, or the crippling of Barbara at the hands of the Joker."
Who is Barry? A link would be handy, or an explanation, in square brackets, within the quotation, or perhaps after the quotation; or, it could be rephrased ("The DCU would be a lesser place without [...] the crippling..." etc.) to remove reference to this mysterious Barry.
As it stands, Barry is slightly more enigmatic than he should be, here.
