I See What They Did There

Why Did DC Comics Change The Hair Color Of A Girl Dressed As Batgirl For Halloween?

Ok, so I already gave away the change in the title so we can’t play a game of “Spot the Difference” but what I can tell you is the image on the left is part of a page from Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridgolfs’ digital-first Lil’ Gotham comic. On the right is what DC Comics sold on release day. The only alteration is Batgirl’s hair color. The image is not of Stephanie Brown/Batgirl but rather a person dressed as the character among a group of other folks dressed up as DC heroes and villains for Halloween. We’ve posted the full images after the jump and we leave it up to you to discuss.

Watch Stephanie Brown Kick Ass In Batgirl: Spoiled, An Upcoming Web Series

Batgirl: Spoiled is an upcoming web series created by Sax Carr and Marisha Ray that follows Stephanie Brown, the third Batgirl, as she endeavors to understand her place in Gotham and the Bat family. This trailer is mostly a proof of concept, with some character development thrown in at the end, but let me just say this is an amazing project. I’m pretty sure I audibly squealed “OMG” when I saw Oracle, Batwoman, and Renee Montoya on the screen. And while it’s definitely missing Stephanie’s quick quips and comebacks, I’m sure it’ll come in time with an actual episode, and honestly, her cocky smile was enough for me.

Check out the project’s Facebook page, and join us as we wait on the edge of our seat for the first episode.

Why Not Do It With Some Style?

What Superheroines Would Look Like In Comfy Pants

Previously, we put forth a challenge to our readers to illustrate what Batman would look like fighting in stilettos to juxtapose the norm that is superheroines constantly being drawn wearing (or actresses forced to perform in) high heels to fight crime. One of our readers, Joanna (@super_widget) talked about how superheroes are constantly being drawn by fans outside their usual costumes, i.e. steampunk, Rule 63, etc. But it was when she wrote the phrase, “female super heroes in comfy pants” that we knew we had our next challenge. We left it pretty open this time, they didn’t have to be fighting, just wearing any sort of comfortable trousers. Above is Sarah Levine’s (@morphmaker) illustration of Batwoman Kate Kane in not just comfy pants but her famous pink bunny slippers. Hit the jump for seven more fantastic images!

Spoiler Alert For the New 52… By Which I Mean Stephanie Brown is the Spoiler in the New 52

With Barbara Gordon reclaiming the mantle of Batgirl in the rebooted DCU, it was uncertain whether the most recent Batgirl, Stephanie Brown, would remain part of continuity. However, just as Dick Grayson has once again reverted to the persona of Nightwing, it seems that Stephanie Brown has similarly been returned to being Spoiler. This is revealed in passing in the recent solicitations for Batman Incorporated: Leviathan Strikes. It reads:

“Guest stars galore! Batman and Spoiler team to face the School of Night while Batman Incorporated travels to a sinister Cold War interrogation facility to face the mind-bending menace of Doctor Dedalus for the last time while the true identity of Leviathan is finally revealed, with shocking consequences for the Dark Knight.”
