Reasons Batgirl Rocks

1) she's a redhead

2) she's a librarian/information maven

3) she's got a killer costume

4) it's black

5) she's spunky

6) she rides a motorcycle

7) she dates a guy in yellow tights---oooo, wait, that's a strike against her.

I've been thoroughly enjoying my historical romp through Bathound's wondrous Batgirl/Oracle site. It answers some nagging questions produced from a knowledge primarily drawn (sorry, bad pun) from the animated series, Batgirl: Year One, and a smattering of other places. It only reinforces my thought that Batgirl is the best comic heroine of all time.

Sorry, Wonder Woman fans, I had the underoos* when I was four, too (I've got a photo to prove it), but star-spangled panties can't top the bat-coolness.

Okay, now I want these**.
