#but babs being batgirl completely ruins the BOP dynamic

[franollie]

The current BOP run has me veryyy frustrated because ooohh the dinahbabs and cass&babs mother/daughter dynamic could be eating. we could be fine dining, but no. because of babsgirl.

If you're reading this im assuming you've read the run up until this point. So obvious spoilers:

Listen, I'm a sucker for fighting against time in order to save the one you love, but this falls so flat because all of this could be avoided if she wasn't batgirl.

Like this is TRAGIC but babs would never be in this position if she was oracle.

And the most recent issue literally proves this to be true!

NO! STOP WITH THE SUPERMAN SHIRT RIP! THATS NOT THE KIND OF HERO SHE IS!!

if babs hadn't put on the batgirl suit then the series would be going nowhere AND THATS A PROBLEM

LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING??!!! SHE SHOULD NOT BE ON THE FIELD??!!

This could be so fucking tragic but its not because we all know none of this would be happening if she was oracle. NONE OF THIS WOULD BE A PROBLEM IF SHE WAS ORACLE

i leave you with this. all of my thoughts on the run can be summarized by this cover believe it or not. bab's loving gaze as she watches the other birds (dinah) work on the mission. shes separated from them implying that she's oracle, but shes standing very able bodied and on the stairs. meaning she can be batgirl when it helps the plot.

#the ratio of good to bad content is soooo frustrating to me #because writing wise its not a bad run in fact its a lot of fun #but babs being batgirl completely ruins the BOP dynamic #i dont really blame any writers specifically for this predicament i understand that there are certain continuity things #but at the same time...its just frustrating to see what we could be having #birds of prey #birds of prey 2023 #dinahbabs #barbara gordon #dinah lance
