God, yes, it would have been terrible to return Babs to Batgirl. I don't really much like Oracle as a person, but I love the character . . . sufficiently so that if I ever got the chance to write Bat comics that, well, Oracle would definitely be involved, shall we say. Yeah, as Batgirl Babs was the sidekick's sidekick. As Oracle, she's a might info-warrior. (But I love John Ostrander enough he can have my kids.)

I also got done reading The Racial Politics of Regressive Storytelling and . . . that . . . I've been feeling that, too. Watching interesting non-Eurotrash characters being edged out for Mighty Whitey. Do we really want to go back to the Bad Old Days with self-assured idiots just always knowing what to do? I don't.
