Interview about the various Post-BotC Batman Comics, including Batgirl

IGN Comics: Batgirl is another series that's coming out later in the summer...

Marts: Correct. We've released the fact that it's coming out in August as well as the creative team. This is very much a question mark. We've been intentionally coy about Batgirl information. We don't want people to automatically assume Cassandra Cain is Batgirl. I will say that the person who becomes Batgirl is indeed on the board.

IGN Comics: Barbara Gordon has a lot of fans that are wondering where she'll wind up moving forward. I see that she's located underneath the "Batgirl" section of the board. Is that going to be her home for the foreseeable future?

Marts: I would say so. She'll be important to the Batgirl series, and also certain story threads that we introduced in the Oracle limited series will find their way into this series as well.

Oh my god! This can only mean one thing... Calculater is the next Batgirl!

It is weird that 'WHO IS BATGIRL?' has become the bigger mystery over 'WHO IS BATMAN?', but it's still entertaining enough over at the 'Rama with people whingeing that it has to be Babs because she's the only one with the right to the cowl after Cass.

And as much as I love Cass, she really got a raw deal over the past couple of years, so perhaps it's time to either do something solid with her, or leave her alone for a while rather than annoy people with poor portrayals. As it is, given her sister/aunt/whatever has returned to prominence, why not give Bette Kane a spotlight in the mask for a while? Frankly, she's the only one I can think of who'd explain that particular smile on the first cover.

Plus - The Joker - still under 'at large'? Given his lack of appearances as of late, why not just leave him alone entirely and save him for the final Dick as Batman story that we'll inevitably get?

When Oracle #3 came out, I had an idea where Oracle forms a Birds Of Prey-lite with Gotham's younger female heroes called The Batgirls. Is it okay that I'm excited that everyone I anticipated for that team is under the Batgirl banner and he's all-but saying Babs will be a major supporting character but not the lead in that book? :D
Failing that, how significant do you think it is that Steph is at the top?

Also, dammit Dini why is Riddler under the GCS tag put him in SoG instead! I'd already decided I disliked March enough from his cover work to stay away from that series, but the Vicki Vale section in Gotham Gazette just cemented it. How'm I gonna get my Riddler fix if he's only appearing in a book I refuse to read? (is he going to be the charlie to their angels, because that might be amusing if not for Gulliem March)

	Ikr. Maybe it's just my belief that DC's pulling our legs again so I don't much care, but that raccoon is the most amusing/interesting thing there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rocket Raccoon is leaving the Guardians of the Galaxy for the streets of Gotham? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	There, DC, fixed that for you. Just let Winick write his baby zombie ex-Robin, seriously. (Reply to this)

	The "Batman & Robin" cast makes sense, it's eerie. Hopefully they won't waste that opportunity of decent Talia-Damien-Jason interactions. If Steph's in "Batgirl", how come she's on the second cover of Red Robin? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Interesting that both Batwoman and Maggie Sawyer are missing from the board, and that both Helena and Leslie are listed as "at large" I've seen conjecture that Vicki is the new Batgirl -- and there does seem to be a resemblance (Reply to this) (Thread)
