Oracle's got computer equipment and tracking soft ware that could put the NSA to shame and Jason has her using it to track his lunch. Seriously?

Jason thinks with his gut. At least when he is hungry.

Barbara Ann. Now why does that sound familiar....?

Ah, nice modification about Killer Moth. Though I'm a bit biased.

Reread, totally ignoring Vox transcript. Has she always been 5'7"? Her profiles in the Arkham Series had her 5'11". Liked how she's not dancing around the subject of her being the wheelchair and, how she's beneficial in getting Dick started as Nightwing. A one woman IT department/Geek Squad for heroes and heroines everywhere.

I usually get the heights from the DC Database, going off the heights for Pre-New 52. I do change them here and there when there's something really off about it (like Joker's height being listed as 6'5")

I remember you saying that Joker was taller than Batman when he's been depicted as shorter or the same height.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, here he is listed as 6'5" dc.wikia.com/wiki/Joker_(New_E⦠while Bruce is listed at 6'2". I personally like Joker being tall and lanky, but I didn't see him as three inches taller than Batman, so I put him down to 6'3". With the difference in their posture, they might look dead even at height, or even Bruce looking taller than Joker since Joker is a springy guy, constantly bouncing around, leaning, slouching, and squatting all over the place while Batman stands rigid and stoic.

I could not get her to her new file to upload for some reason, so I just replaced the original one with this one and changed the name.

I'm pretty sure her fighting style also includes beating your @#$ with escrima sticks from her wheelchair.
Using Bab's injury as a part of the Dynamic Duo's breakup is intriguing. Though I imagine the Titans had the biggest influence.
Also, I'm pretty sure Killer Moth was her arch-nemesis as Batgirl.

Pfft, Killer Moth is so beneath her.
π: 0 β©: 1
I dunno. I kinda liked the fact that they both got into the game because of Batman and were directly emulating him. Besides, it's not like the Calculator was anymore respected than Moth is before they revived him for Identity Crisis.Β

Very, very nice bio and now I am definitely looking forward to your take on Huntress. That should be a lot of fun.
I particularly like the fighting style. Fun or not, one of the best escrima fighters in the world or not, Oracle is still deadliest with a keyboard.
One question, if you don't mind me asking - seeing as Babs is now out of the running, will we be seeing Cassandra Cain or Stephanie Brown as Batgirl?
π: 0 β©: 1
You will see all three as Batgirl, though some will be "Legacy Pictures" (in the past of my continuity)

That's great news - many thanks for answering!

Awesome! I like how your interpretation of Babs' personality shows through the profile. The Vox log again is quite interesting. Can totally see Barbara knocked out by her computer and Jason's request coming through.
Did the Killing Joke and Barbara's paralysis really break up Bruce and Dick or, did some else do it?
*Still think she looks like my Emma with shorter red hair

Thanks.
Babs' paralysis breaking up Bruce and Dick is my way of condensing material.
In the comics, if I recall correctly, Joker shot Dick once and Bruce got scared and tried to sideline Dick. Dick wouldn't have it and it caused a rift between them.
What I'm saying is that Joker shot Babs in an attempt to drive Gordon insane (not knowing she was Batgirl), then when Batman finally caught Joker, Dick was upset that Bruce didn't kill Joker for paralyzing Babs (not that Dick is bloodthirsty, just extremely emotional at that time) and Dick later took his rage out on Two-Face, nearly killing Two-Face until Batman stopped him. Bruce tried to sideline Dick but Dick quit and later became Nightwing, leveling out emotionally due to Babs' help.

Well.......looks like that crippling Barbra thing backfired for the joker huh
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup. He wanted to drive Gordon insane, not create a valuable asset for all the heroes.

First of all I love seeing Oracle's personality in the description. The vox log was the funniest by far. Glad to see Jason being funny instead of angry.
π: 0 β©: 0
Awesome!
And the vox log, as usual, has me in stitches

Hey! Babs also studied many ways of self defense from a seated position!
She's almost better with a pair of escrima than Dick is.
She's awesome!

This I know, but she's typing a profile on herself, so I think she'd have a little fun with it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Lol, she's a better person than me then. I'd have to brag a little.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
She does that, too... in a different way.

Just so you know, in the comic, her middle name is Joan.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I also found an example of her middle name being Ann. I did find one more example of it being Joan, I think... but for whatever reason I wrote Ann. I may change it later.
Middle names for Superheroes are difficult as different writers will often forget or ignore what another writer put before them.

Oracle, barbara...we love you. You make DC a better comic company
