I saw that post with a screen capture of Batwoman beating Batgirl into crying uncle, where you said you would have loved to write a rematch where Babs was more prepared. Do you think that Kate's current much more integrated/integral status in the Batfamily

I think Batgirl’s fighting skills have gone backwards, frankly, after I left the book. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, but they definitely made her younger and less experienced. So I feel like Batwoman still has the edge, at least from what I have read lately.

My feeling was that an experienced Batgirl OR Oracle would have taken Kate down. But she’s being presented as pretty inexperienced, currently.


Again, not a value judgment, I like inexperienced characters at the start of their journey. But it feels like Kate is ahead of the current version of Batgirl as a fighter and possibly even as a strategist.
