Ah, did not expect Spellbinder. And a hot female too! Although the sidecut would definitely get some attention from the bad side of Twitter.

Since when does Arkham Asylum look so...nice on the inside?

Something is wrong with this situation. Black Canary is phishing for particular info. She's trying to keep Batgirl with her. This has to be happening in Oracle's head; Mad Hatter is trying to break into Oracle's head.

Ah, Mad Hatter. I should've known.

Ok, ok, a couple of things. 1) how did Barbara return to being Batgirl? I thought that would take a while longer? 2) what is up with these criminals in the literal Halloween get up? You've got a guy in a sombrero, another in a horned Viking helmet, and another with a cheese wedge hat.

You can take the Girl out of the Bat, but you can't take the Bat out the Girl. She so needed this after being partially paralyzed. It was so rewarding to see.

This is why you don't attempt a robbery in someone's home. They have the homefield advantage. They know where everything is. And this is Barbara Gordon aka the former Batgirl. Even wheelchair-bound, she's not defenseless.

Yep! Knew it! "Nice guy" was totally a criminal and was with the gang from earlier. Probably planned that attempted robbery earlier.

Oof, bad writing there. Making a guy be relieved that the girl he's taking out to dinner isn't a lesbian. But it does send up a red flag for me. That and the other wrong things he's said has set up red flags for me and makes me think he's a bad guy.

Wow. Even in the 90s there was some ableism and it was a topic among these comic book writers. Good on them being ahead of the curve! Although it does seem like modern writers have backtracked on that issue (among others).
