Very early in my career, one of my mentors advised me: 'never be the guy in the wacky outfit'.
Of course, this was before cosplay became popular in the west, and more importantly it was the '90s - the economy was flipping amazing! These are, it''s fair to say, different times, so dressing up as the Android logo and dancing for the attended masses at Mobile World Congress is perfectly respectable. Plus, it's not a bad way to see Barcelona, and the ladies dig it! Watch as Batgirl gets her groove on with these two droids, and brushes off a creepy, clingy Batman.
Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 10:20AM | Matt Sager From Lauren Faust (Powerpuff Girls, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic), here's a first look at Super Best Friends Forever, featuring Supergirl, Batgirl and Wonder Girl. DC's big three super heroines will be featured in Super BFFs animated shorts as part of Cartoon Network's DC Nation programming block.
Faust discusses her love of the characters and genre with io9:
I've been a comics fan my whole life. So I took what I knew of the history of Batgirl and Supergirl and Wondergirl. I just wanted to put together a superteam with the attitude of, 'It's fun to be a superhero.' And taking a real approach, a fun and funny approach to what it's like to be a teenage girl, and mixing that up with a superhero [story.]
DC Nation premieres Saturday, March 3 at 10:00 a.m. on Cartoon Network.

The general consensus is that this awesome pic is a combination of amazing costly and a hearty dose of Photoshop, but darned if it doesn't make me wish Christopher Nolan would stick around and do a Batgirl movie or three. Or that some ambitious TV producer would give the Birds of Prey series a reboot, maybe on AMC or FX where they really get hardcore with the action.

This awesome T-shirt shows Supergirl, Wonder Woman, and Batgirl at their pre-'New 52' finest. It's the big three DC women, together on one super-sweet shirt available here.

After extensive market research and using that fancy "Google" thing, the DC brain trust has determined that the kids like Doctor Who. Also popular are kittens, that guy from the Dos Equis ads, and something called the "troll-face". Will hold creative summit to research further.
I actually think that Batgirl is easily the best thing to come out of the New 52 so far, no surprise as the excellent Gail Simone is writing one of her signature characters. But DC Comics is taking a lot of heat today because, like Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark before them, they have gone from shouting down any who question their wisdom to asking fans to do the job of the Editor-in-Chief, CCO and Publisher who are taking both credit and pay for their bold new creative directions.
Does the Warner board know that their budget is being used to crowdsource top-level Editorial jobs?
Lastly, Warners gets very little love for the way in which they've chosen to preview Batgirl #2 on EW.com - namely, teeny-tiny pictures and a hideous Flash-based magnifying glass thing. It's really not much fun, which is a shame since the issue looks great.
However, that is is a pretty glaring Karen Gillan swipe on the cover, amirite?

Adam Hughes, Batgirl, Gail Simone Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 1:30AM | Matt Sager For a lot of fans, Stephanie Brown is the definitive Batgirl, and she's certainly a character who a lot of fans love and identify with, despite - or maybe because of - the short shrift she's received so often from those who didn't appreciate her, from Tim Drake to Dan DiDio.
It may be quite a while before she pops up in the new DCU, but she'll live forever as long as there are back issues and cosplayers like AiTenshiMisha, who is rocking the Stephanie Brown Batgirl look in these pics.

Babs is back! One of the most controversial books of DC's 'New 52' is being handled by one of the best talents in the industry. Batgirl - Barbara Gordon, is back on her feet and being written by the scribe who has defined her for a generation, Gail Simone.
In an interview with the New York Post, Simone had this to say:
It’s tremendously exciting to see her smiling on the cover of her own hit book finally, ready to kick ass against Gotham City’s worst monsters.
She had a lot more to say, but then they ran these awesome preview pages and there may or may not have been some male squee-ing. Accounts differ on that last part.
Written by GAIL SIMONE; Art by ARDIAN SYAF and VICENTE CIFUENTES; Cover by ADAM HUGHES
Yes, it's really happening!
Barbara Gordon is back as Batgirl – and she's going to have to face the city's most horrifying new villains as well as the dark secrets from her past. You won't want to miss this stunning debut issue from fan-favorite BIRDS OF PREY writer Gail Simone!
