Oh man, I love it when
dryponder does these "draw a female superhero!" memes even if I can't draw worth a pile of beans. I'm a gigantic dork, the kind who should be into comics. But I'm not, and when I think about it, it's partially because the portrayal of females is so god awful that you can't help but look away. And then maybe throw something. I mean, does anybody else remember the
Mary Jane Statuette hullabaloo from back in the day?
But man! The designs some of these folks come up with! They're seriously amazing.
In the past, there have been memes for
Supergirl and
Batgirl but this one's especially great. The current challenge is to draw Stephanie Brown, aka Spoiler, aka the only female Robin who got completely and totally shafted. As Robin, she was tortured and murdered basically as a psychological plot device (hey, I'm all about the psychological plot device... but not when it involves drill rape). And then, to add insult to injury, she never got a memorial in the Batcave.
Batman, brooder that he is, gave all the other dead Robins elaborate memorials with their costumes encased in glass. Stephanie never got that. She got raped with a drill.
The least the world can do is give her a seriously kickass character redesign. Yeah!
