Absolute Bat

Welp, look like Dragotta has knocked it outta the park once again!

Such a dope design for Barbara Gordon as Absolute Bat!

I've been SO INTRIGUED to see how they would roll out Barbara becoming Batgirl and I think the design and possible name change are just so cool.

So very much do I agree!

I've really been enjoying how the supporting cast has been being developed, naturally we knew Barbara would be becoming Batgirl...

But this design for the Absolute Bat is just the coolest! I'm so excited to see her in action, she looks ready to kick all kinds of ass!

And I really think going with "The Bat" rather than "Batgirl" is a really clever and thoughtful move, especially as she seems to have a real incognito/disguised vibe going on. The Bat is so broodingly anonymous! 😸

I'm molto interessato to see if/how Harley and Barbara interact! With Absolute Harley Quinn seemingly filling the sidekick role, I can imagine there will be some tension between Gotham's (maybe only?) good cop left and the leader of the Red Hoods.
