Dear comics-related Internet
As someone with a degenerative spinal condition
I’d like to add that Oracle was just as important to people who have disabled loved onesOh my god. This is the most horrific, ableist, awful, exclusionary, bigoted thing (trigger warning)
So if Barbara is getting her legs back
So what are you looking for post-Flashpoint?
Also, you know, Babs is a woman
I asked for a comission of Cass and Steph as Batman and Robin btw
For the record, Cass is my Batgirl

Hi, uh, I'm the one who wrote the post titled "I Sent DC a Letter, Because I'm Really Pissed Off About This". I just wanted to bring to your attention that I've since changed my blog URL, so the link you have is broken. The post is now here.
Switched the link, thanks.
Didn't focus specifically on Barbara, but I do mention the basic failing of removing an icon like Oracle from the DCU, but I also cover the overall inequality of both the DCnU and the lack of female and minority contributors working for DC. If you like it, please add it to your very vocal list: http://ebonstorm.wordpress.com/2011/08/13/dcnu-looks-great-but-less-filling/
