Talk:Batgirl

message: I've reverted the merge of Oracle to Batgirl. This was done with no consensus by an anon and breaks the mold established by characters alter egos, such as Robin and Spoiler, being kept seperate.Gateman1997 21:20, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: [[Barbara Gordon]]

message: I was wondering if the first Bat-Girl should have a separate page, since now all the other Batgirls do as well.  It would also make links easier -- currently the Batwoman and Flamebird pages need to link using the awkward syntax of Bat-Girl.
But I figured I should ask first, since perhaps this idea has been debated and rejected in the past. - Lawrence King 04:36, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Spinning her off into her own 'main article' (as done with the other Batgirls) doesn't seem amiss, though I'd think she'd need a bit of a beefier article.  As it stands, she'd be a stub.  Why not make a Betty Kane to redirect to Batgirl for now, and then if you can make it a decent article, un-redirect later? -- Ipstenu 15:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Separate page for Betty Kane? 

message: I find myself wondering why the word 'classic' belongs in this sentence: 
"However, in the classic 1988 one shot The Killing Joke, The Joker shot her in the spine, leaving her paraplegic; she later reinvented herself as Oracle, the premiere information broker of the DC’s superhero community."
It seems a vague, possibly subjective, and at any rate unencyclopedic note to hit.  Does anyone agree or disagree?

thread_title:  Small quibble over introduction word 

message: I really don't believe why is not mentioned the participation of Barbara Gordon in Batman Beyond. Please check the Batman Beyond article in Wikipedia, there she is mentioned. Don't you think is a discrepancy not to talk about that here too?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.134.69.125 (talk) 17:38, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Barbara Gordon was not Batgirl in Batman Beyond. She was Police commissioner of Gotham City. Therefore her appearances in the series are not mentioned in this article which focuses on use of the Batgirl character. Her role in Batman Beyond should be mentioned in the Barbara Gordon article under the Animation subsection.Bookkeeperoftheoccult (talk) 01:35, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  BARBARA GORDON'S ROLE IN BATMAN BEYOND 

message: In Batman the Animated Animated Series, didn't she die when the Scarecrow pushed her off a skyscraper?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.161.122.193 (talk) 13:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The episode you're referring to is "Over the Edge" from The New Batman Adventures. The end of the episode reveals Barbara had been dreaming due to being gassed by the Scarecrow. She was never really killed. Bookkeeperoftheoccult (talk) 21:29, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Barbara from Batman TAS. 

message: At first I was taken aback by the odd organization of the article. It talks about everything from a historical perspective, rather than having an "origins" section and an "abilities" section and a "reception" section. But as I read it I realized it covers all of those things very well. Great job. Wrad (talk) 01:46, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Endash]] and [[Emdash]] 

message: I noticed that this main Batgirl page doesn't list any collected editions, but the article 'Cassandra Cain' does...  to me, this seems really counter-intuitive and kind of backwards.   Wouldn't it be better to show the Batgirl TPBs on the Batgirl article itself? 94.168.72.144 (talk) 17:10, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Collected Edition listing? 

message: I was thinking that due to the Batgirl merger we could have the publication history have the Volume one and two from the merging article replace Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown. Volume One for Cain and Two for Brown. We will keep any existing infromation and add the new one and add the collected editions into this article. Or we could have volume one and two int the publication page with the collected editions and have the characters in their own section. --Schmeater (talk) 00:39, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger 

message: Helena Bertinelli belongs in the same category as Betty Kane, Barbara Gordon, Cassandra Cain, and Stephanie Brown as an officially recognized Batgirl. Though her tenure as Batgirl was intended as temporary, she was a Batgirl officially sanctioned by Batman and was heavily promoted by DC at the time as a new Batgirl.
Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe falls into a separate category and, I would argue, does not even deserve a mention in this article. She is in the same league of Batgirl imposters as Harley Quinn briefly posing as Batgirl, Dick Grayson dressing in drag as Batgirl as a decoy (in Batgirl: Year One), Clayface pretending to be Batgirl (in Supergirl #19), etc.
What is the consensus? If no objections are raised, I intend to edit the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlackburnianW (talk • contribs) 21:37, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Claimants? 

message: history in comics of being portrayed as martial artists, and as a result, are often exploited as sex objects. - this seems a non-sequitur. What has being a martial artist got to do with being exploited as a sex object??? many male martial artists are in comic books are they also so exploited? What makes sexual exploitation of women anything to do with if they are martial artists or not??? at present this does not follow logically. Perhaps someone who knows the genre better can calrify.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.165.130.52 (talk) 18:41, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
