thread 🧵of my favourite images/panels of babs
some because she looks pretty, some because she's being cool, some because I love the character interactions, some because they're some of my favourite moments of hers
@Aaron93661227 It's from birds of prey 83. If you're asking for the context, warning for spoilers, Barbara is infected by Braniac's virus and has to undergo surgery. here she threatens the virus (which is kinda sentient) that either it lets them remove it or she'll kill herself (the host body)
I think people oversimplify both Bruce and Babs' relationships with Cass. I'd argue that both of them, at the start of bg2000, project themselves onto Cass to Cass' detriment/ignoring what Cass wants. They both lean too far into one direction, Bruce w/vigilantism and Babs
to "he's her favourite because she does no wrong!") misses part of her character.
I think it's interesting when it comes to Barbara because Barbara was retired prior to the Joker shooting her. She was a 'normal girl' and living a normal life. And then that's taken away
MY Barbara has red hair, glasses, is in a wheelchair, is ORACLE, has an abrasive personality but is endlessly loving, is scarily intelligent, won't let anyone control her, is stubborn and perseverent. And if she's not all that, than that's not my Babs
@almoussalmon Understandable. I haven't read bg2009 (hence why I asked) but prior to it, Barbara didn't seem to have any issues w/Steph that I can remember (she even let Steph know her civilian identity unlike Bruce), so I get why this would've added to that now.
