#gives her a fun n interesting occupation and potentially fun interactions w/ civilian characters-

[welcometogrouchland]

Anyway since they're apparently not going to go with the "Steph leading/babysitting a team of young heroes" book idea (pause for despair) I'd like to pitch MY idea for Steph: Steph gets back into playing piano (she already started doing so in Batgirls #18!) and ends up taking on a mystery related to the basement rock scene in Gotham (I know the underground concert game there is INSANE absolutely prime serial killer territory)

#ramblings of a lunatic #dc comics #stephanie brown #She took it on bc it ranked low on the bats scale of importance and bc she starts to realise how important music is to her #(I have whole essays I could write on the brief mentions of piano in Stephs comics and what they say) #and thus she wants to keep this community safe. #also it'd be nice to see how Steph operates solo again #acknowledging that (despite it often being denied to her) steph usually prefers to team up w/ others despite the difficulties #bc ultimately she's a person who seeks connection I think #<- which segues into my ''steph joins a band'' idea that i just think would be fun #gives her a fun n interesting occupation and potentially fun interactions w/ civilian characters- #- while keeping her distinct from other bats AND potentially giving her reasons to go outside of Gotham + form connections #(have Steph and red canary interacted one in dark crisis? yes. has red canary barely been in any comics full stop so far? also yes+ #-but consider her being an amateur musician already endeared me too her and i wanna see them interact again) #(it's fun bc Steph was so used to being the amateur/newbie and got iced out for it and RC is that atm but ppl aren't. yknow. assholes to her #(i think it'd be a fun dynamic to play with!) #anyway. I'm a genius and dc should hire me. I'll make an EP for Steph's fake band just watch me
