What thoughts (if any) did you have on Rafael Albuquerque's variant Batgirl cover?

I think this is along some of the same lines as the Manara cover for Spider-woman.

The new Batgirl was marketed  like “hey this is a light, fun inclusive book where female readers can see Batgirl in more sensible pants” and then you put out a Killing joke tribute cover that implies some sexual assault ~( the 2015 Batgirl audience is not the 1988 Killing joke audience. ) and my understanding is that the 2015 Batgirl audience that cover was made for responded poorly.  

I feel like it’d be a dramatically different conversation if this was someone’s personal book. but Batgirl (Tm©2015DCComics,IncWarnerBrosEntertainment) —is in the end a product that the people who made don’t own. It’s owned by Skynet or someshit. They need it to sell and have skynet overlords they must answer to..

So I get why they wanted to pull it. Seems like they weren’t trying to be all dark and edgy they just were doing a variant cover for their light, fun inclusive book

, and hit the wrong tone. I feel like that end of the comics game is changing and maybe these are growing pains.
