Best Friends Until Retcons!
One of the biggest losses after the Great Supergirl Retcon Distaster of 1986 was the loss of the friendship between Supergirl and Batgirl. While never utilised like it should have been it had its moments. In light of the post on noscans_daily about female friends in comics I offer something more wholesome and heartwarming. Also I bring news that Supergirl will team up with the new Batgirl in Worlds Finest #3 at the end of the year.
One of my favourite moments in Crisis was this rooftop talk between Supergirl and Batgirl. In a nutshell, with great power comes great responsibility.
Of course Supergirl dies and Batgirl lives, the danger is the same. The more power you have the bigger monsters you have to face. The Anti-Monitor was to Supergirl what the Joker was to Batgirl. (Ok so she didn't die but her Batgirl persona did) Our goliaths aren't all the same size.
TED!! (...sorry I has a moment there)
After The Great Sueprgirl Retcon Disaster relations between Barbara and the super-family distanced. DC actively turned Power Girl away from that friendship. Barbara didn't ask Matrix into the Birds as she was 'too super'. It wasn't until Kara returned that it was reignited properly (I think the last christmas special was posted already where Barbara and Kara) but there was a pitfall.
Turns out that Barbara is clayface and Kara dumps him in gotham harbour but it was nice to see them together again. There is something about how both of them look together than can never be replicated and sometimes a little nostalgia about what has passed is just right. It was also a nice nod to the New Batman Adventures story
part one-
part two-
Then came her encounter with the latest Batgirl- Cassandra Cain
who tried to kill her and they have never sat down, talked about it and made up. The new Supergirl/Batgirl adventure will be interesting to see to say the least but for me, well I already have my fave BFFs together elsewhere...
AW YEAH BEST FRIENDS!
