Questions for Episode 14

[Stella]

Happy Halloween! As a special 'treat,' I have opened this thread for questions! I will leave it open for longer than the previous episode, so take your time in coming up with a great question!

Sooooooooo, ever dress up as Babs for Halloween?

BTW, saw some women dressed as Oracle at NYCC complete with a wheelchair, kind of didn't want to approach them out of fear of the "oh, so how far along are you?" "I'm not pregnant." sort of awkwardness.

Any way, moving on from that point, what do you think the chances are of a Babs cameo or mention in the upcoming Batman movie. And, if you've seen The Dark Knight, do you think that red headed child, seen with the Gordon family and credited as "unnamed Gordon child" could be the future Batgirl/Oracle?

Also, heard your appearance on Views From The Longbox with Michael Bailey and you stated an opinion about Wendy Harris. That was back in March. Has your opinion of the character changed much with seeing her role in Batgirl?

Hello Stella!

Questions for Episode 14:
-I recently bought a few Blackest Night trades, and in an issue of Blackest Night: Batman, Babs is possessed by Deadman and is able to walk, let alone kick the butts of her attackers. Do you think that this was just Deadman's supernatural abilities allowing her to walk? Or is Babs able to walk but has a subconscious block against it, due to her low confidence, which was only broken under Boston Brand's influence.

- We know Dinah accidentally saw Dick's...private parts, when he was in the shower, but more importantly know Dick has also had a few flings with Huntress. Do you think this would ever lead to an uncomfortable awkwardness with Babs and her teammates (especially Helena, around the time of Dick and Babs' engagement) or would Babs be able to act professional and let a few comments slide, despite her jealousy.

-While Barbara certainly looks up to Batman, we know that her idol/rolemodel in Batgirl: Year One was Black Canary. Since Babs has certainly gone above and beyond, who's approval do you think meant more to her? Bruce was her respected teammate, but imagine if you ever became best friends with one of your childhood icons?

- It seems that when Dick and Babs were younger, they often fought laughable villains such as Crazy Quilt and Killer Moth, but when they each grew into their respective roles of Nightwing and Oracle, they battled real threats like Deathstroke and Calculator. Dick has been Robin, Nightwing, and eventually succeeded his mentor as Batman, a great step in his character development. Babs has been Batgirl and Oracle. What's the next step for her? Not only as a hero, but in the role of her characterization.

-I know you have stated that you will cover Babs in other media incarnations, such as the cartoons and 60's series, but I also recommend you check out the 60's show reunion movie "Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt" While the framing story mainly involves Adam West and Burt Ward, the actual majority is a giant re-enactment true behind the scenes stories, although we see the actors portraying younger versions of our heroes in tights.. From drama of the actors losing their marriages and how BATGIRL saved the show from cancellation with the third season. One such comical story is how Burt Ward took "Special Pills" to decrease the size of his...To make him not look awkward in the green undies. It also shows how Adam West, apparently as much of a playboy as Bruce Wayne, hit on Yvonne Craig her first day on set, and accidentally placed his hand on her bosom during the filming of one scene, only to have his butt whooped (Craig was a dancer, and actually had martial arts training) The film itself IS a comedy, but not a campy one, as it's based off true events. I think it would be hilarious to here you recap it with either Kevin or Berryman, there would certain be fits of giggling. You don't even need to spend the 10 bucks on the DVD, here is a LEGAL youtube link to the entire film, organized onto a playlist, so the scenes run seamlessly into each other and you don't notice it split up into different parts. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND IT!!! You will love it!
