30. Steph's Batgirl series only ran for two years, and was cancelled when DC rebooted their line in 2011. The final issue showed the future Steph never got to have, a sweet sendoff for a beloved character. #NeverASidekick
29. DC ultimately undid Steph's death after years of fan outcry, bringing her back as Spoiler before she became the new Batgirl in 2009, with Oracle giving her blessing and even supplying her with a new costume. #NeverASidekick
28. Steph became Robin in 2004 for a brief stint, but the promotion was all a publicity stunt to up her profile before she was killed off in the War Games event, causing angst for Robin and Batman. #NeverASidekick
26. It took a long while for Stephanie Brown to become Batgirl. She first debuted in Detective Comics in 1992 as Spoiler, intent on foiling her villainous father, the Riddler ripoff Cluemaster. #NeverASidekick
24. Despite her success, DC cancelled the Batgirl series in 2006 and immediately brought Cassandra back as a villain, infuriating her dedicated fans. I, for one, was irate when this happened. #NeverASidekick
Had a great chat with @CBChroniclesRob about #NeverASidekick, getting into all the great Batgirls and discussing the book! https://t.co/Ur0wZzDIit
19. Dixon wrote the book well, but had conservative leanings that came to the fore when fans began to ship Babs and Dinah. He tried to ensure that the stories could not be interpreted in a queer way, but artist Butch Guice didn't listen in this famed panel. #NeverASidekick
18. The Birds of Prey one-shots became an ongoing series, written by Chuck Dixon with art by Greg Land. There was tension between the empowered writing and sexualized art, which was addressed often in the letter column. #NeverASidekick
17. Late one today! When editor Jordan Gorfinkel paired Oracle with Black Canary, another abused and sidelined character, for a special one-shot called Birds of Prey, the issue addressed their history of trauma, and established a unique bond between them. #NeverASidekick
14. Retirement set up her role in Batman: The Killing Joke, where she was shot by the Joker and paralyzed. I'm not going to show you those panels. They're gross and have been re-illustrated a thousand times since. Here she is having cocoa with her dad, though. #NeverASidekick
@TupacAG And Lebron's STILL better!
