Quick thought on Barbara Gordon's role in the new Birds of Prey...
Spoilers for Birds of Prey (2023-) #7
....
Okay so; I am really, really happy that they actually told Barbara about the situation and what was going on this time. After the ending of the #6 I was kinda afraid they were going to do something like keep Babs in the dark while they chose the "Secret Barbara Gordon Defence Squad" route, so I have to say it was quite the relief when they instead went "Work with Oracle to solve this mystery" route.
Tumblr media
I guess this fear was mostly due to how they excluded Barbara from the first arc, and kept her entirely in the dark about even the existence of the mission. And then at the end of #6 they made a point of showing that Barbara was indeed hurt by this and they only revealed the reasons after Barbara had already left the roof.
So it was nice to have Barbara immediately get brought into the loop. I've complained a bit about the first arc of this run; and I suppose the heart of my personal issues with it was I felt it was all a tad contrived, between excluding Barbara and having a hero vs hero conflict with the Amazons.
But in #7 not only is Barbara informed of the situation, but she's working alongside Dinah and also acting as Oracle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Between all of the dead alternate Barbaras being shown wearing their Batgirl outfits and Barbara being dressed as Batgirl in the cover of #7, it was a pleasant surprise to find that Barbara was indeed taking the lead as Oracle instead Batgirl. In fact despite the cover art, she doesn't even use her Batgirl outfit in #7.
Tumblr media
Still feel like they should've just told Babs all the way back in #1 and had her take the lead as Oracle back then, but I digress.
With contrived conflict and lack of communication being the main thing which I felt distracted my enjoyment of the first arc, the fact that this new arc is getting kicked off with significantly less of that has made me really enjoy #7 and am looking forward to more.

Cassandra Cain and Maps Mizoguchi Friendship
Some spoilers for both the recently released Birds of Prey (2023-) #5 & Batgirls (2022-2023) #11
So I am currently still working on my thoughts/speculation on Birds of Prey #5 but just wanted to shed some quick appreciation for this one moment and its connections to Batgirls;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cass calling Meridian by the name Maps was a nice touch and a nod to their friendship in the present. And while I still have some skepticism regarding Meridian (which I intend to go into greater detail into in its own post) I found this small moment quite cute.
While Meridian may have introduced herself by saying “some of you may know me as Maps Mizoguchi”; I’m pretty certain Cass was the only one of those assembled who has met Maps before.
But yeah. Not to much to say besides that I thought the fact that Cass seemed to instinctively/naturally exclaim “Maps!” when referring to Meridian was a nice nod to their friendship and I hope to see more interactions between Cass and either Present!Maps or Meridian. I suppose though that the mission + Meridian constantly getting pulled from the timeline (apparently) does limit their chances to interact so far.

I love that this is a fight where Cass uses her strategic skills, we don't get to see that often, usually just her punching someone, which is cool and all, but I love that they got creative this time around because they KNEW Cass was out of her game.
Which by the way, this is how you show Cass fighting someone she knows would wreck her 1 on 1, she ALWAYS knows how she could potentially win a fight.
