>>118204559I’m going to be completely straight with you, anon. I don’t care and never have cared about DC. I don’t read the comics, watch the cartoons or bother keeping up with the ridiculous amount of continuities and writers. As a kid I never got engrossed and only watched/read about the average that any other kid would have. My knowledge of the franchise probably couldn’t be considered surface-level.
I do, however, enjoy collaborating with people on this board to take something and construct our own little world around it. That’s why I participate in the Batgirl/Killer Moth threads. I don’t know much about the Batgirls that aren’t Barbara, but from what I understand they’re significantly better-received than her.
That doesn’t really matter to me, though, since the Barbara that we have created is something very similar, yet at the same time somehow completely different. She is something that we who attend the threads have created, drawing and writing to our hearts’ content, pouring our souls into the empty vessel that was DC’s Babs in an attempt to create something we can love.
So to answer your question, I suppose it depends on which Barbara you mean. The Babs that DC‘s employees write or the Babs that we write, the only difference between the two being a comic company’s seal of approval?
