The New Batgirl
We're up to issue 4 now of the new Batgirl and I actually rather like it. I wasn't sure how I felt about Steph in the role as I kinda liked her as Spoiler even though she irritated the hell out of me. I love that she makes mistakes (see War Games for the biggest whoopsie of all time). She's flawed and I sort of love her for that. Not convinced

I like that Batgirl is an athletic build -- not the size nothing waist and huge tits. But that costume is ... oh how to articulate it. I hate the design of the black portion which basically paints a straight line to accentuate the crotch & breasts (but then that's the point judging by the villian's outfit). Then the purple part looks painted. The effect is it looks like the black over her breasts is a bib so the sides can bulge out. It's just weird & unsexy. The black should wrap around her chest, ribs & kidneys to protect them as I assume it's some sort of super flexible armor.
Huh, okay, I'll take my soapbox and un-hijack your post. ;-)

They're not bad, are they?
I don't like the design of the costume either. It's meant to be retro, like the original Batgirl Barbara Gordon who is now Steph's right hand ... woman. But I prefer the old design which was all black with just the bottom portion of her face showing, and you couldn't see her hair. I guess the new costume represents a more fun and vibrant Batgirl. Still ... I'm not quite convinced.

Hmmm, maybe I'll google the Barbara costume or is it wrong to envision sort of like her costume on the 60s show? I like the purple in this one, it's just ... yeah, already went over that didn't I. :-)

No, I completely agree with you and it is exactly what Batman (Dick Grayson, not Bruce Wayne) said to the new Batwoman.
