To the lovely Miss Stella,
I would like to take this opportunity to beg/plead/ask you to cover Batman:No Man's Land. I recently read the novelization by Greg Rucka (Which by the way, is told from Babs' point of view) Not only did the series give a deep look into Bab's psyche and what makes her tick, but it also introduced Cassandra Cain and gave us Huntress' brief tenure as Batgirl. This is particularly interesting as at this time Babs could not STAND Helena and was deeply offended, but then she later accepts she has to move on and passes the torch on to Cass. It was a important point in the history of the Batgirl mantle, and quite frankly, was freaking awesome. Perhaps we could have a guest spot from Mike Bailey? He has stated numerous times he LOVES the story, and it falls into his "Nothin but the Nineties" podcasting criteria. So will you be covering this into the future? Babs has a pivotal role, it would please the Cass fans out there, and also gives Babs the closure she needed to for her character to progress. So will you please consider it? As an added incentive, this is where the modern Dick/Babs started to go full force...
Now that I have got the begging out of the way, I have but ONE question for you.
You have made it quite clear that you are a Dick/Babs supporter, and that you do not care for Starfire. Is the relationship the only reason why Bab's is your preferred green-eyed redhead, or is there more to your dislike for the character? (Aside from the cheesecake-ness of the skimpy costume and oversized ta-tas)

As an added incentive, this is where the modern Dick/Babs started to go full force... I wholeheartedly second tnr105's request for you to review the Batman: No Man's Land novel. As I've mentioned before, this novel is one of my most prized possessions (and is still my favorite novel of all time) and I'm quite sure you'll enjoy it very much so. tnr105 was mistaken when he said that the story is told from Babs' POV (though she did play a major narrating role with her NML Log); however, the novel did some serious exploring into Babs's inner psyche and character. Personally, the part with Babs seeing Helena as Batgirl was one of my most memorable moments in the entire book! We also got deep character developments from MANY, MANY characters of the Batman series, ranging from Jim Gordon and the rest of the GCPD/Blue Boys to the entire Batfamily to Batman's rogues gallery (Two-Face, Joker, Penguin, Black Mask, Poison Ivy, etc). Mind you, all of these characters were included later in the comics, but you get a muuch richer experience with the novel!

Thanks for the correction Noctis!Yep, I was wrong, I meant that every chapter or so we get an update from Babs. Anyway, I have an question of the traditional sense for you Stella.
How do you think Bab's life would have gone if she was never paralyzed? What if she looked through the peep hole before Joker entered and shot her and was able to either escape out a window or fight him off Batgirl Style? Would we still get Cass and Steph? Also, would she still have the awesome characterization we have today.
