      well i believe they ARE father and son now. if i'm not mistaken, Damian Wayne is the current robin, son of batman. I haven't read any batman comics with damian in it, so if he's bruce's nephew or something forgive my mistake...

      Adam Poole and that would be where my mistake is. at least i got the part about him being batman's son right. who is the new robin? if there is any??? sorry i have not read any recent issue of batman comic books in years.

      digmyvids don't feel bad i haven't read any DC comics since they rebooted the DC universe and messed it up.. i only know cause i looked up the info for the Son of Batman film. .and as far as i know there is no new robin.. at least not yet

      Adam Poole I seldom bought a DC Comics since crisis on infinite earths except used ones and generally before Crisis on infinite earths. X-men I lost most of my interest in since the Phoenix seemed like a lame copying of Doom Patrol's negative man.

  • @bradleybraniff2001

    Barbera Gordon was introduced on the show first. Her popularity on the show brought her into the comics. I've watched a lot of Mojo Videos today and on several occasions I find myself questioning the validity of their information

    • @majinclos
      @majinclos 10 років тому +1

      are you sure? Your talking about Batman '66 tv show right? I think you might be right... I'm going to research this

    • @bradschannel355
      @bradschannel355 10 років тому +1

      I'm absolutely sure. She was introduced because the producers of the '66 Adam west TV show were asked to create a strong female character because batwoman and the original batgirl (Kathy and Bette Kane) were both a major flop

    • @bradschannel355
      @bradschannel355 10 років тому

      I might have been wrong. It seems she was introduced in the final season of the show simultaneously with her introduction to the comics. It was the show's producer that asked to have the character created. I had that backwards.

    • @majinclos
      @majinclos 10 років тому

      yes. That would explain "The million dollar debut" of batgirl on the cover. I have Detective comics 359 and Barbara Gordon looks good with that red bat-purse lol

    • @bradschannel355
      @bradschannel355 10 років тому +1

      That purse never made sense to me lol It just didn't seem efficient to have to carry it like that. I can't remember if it had a strap or not. Either way it wouldn't work. Strap purse is a choke hazard in combat and a clutch purse limits her efficiency with her hands.

  • @LMVStudios

    I have to agree w/ most that Barbara was much better as "Oracle," than "Bat-Girl," more interesting. I do believe the "Bat-Girl" persona was an important part of Barbara's past. She is my #3 favorite Super-Hero or Heroine of ALL-TIME.

    • @landontheentertainer8969
      @landontheentertainer8969 4 роки тому +1

      AL T that's a matter of opinion tho I personally think she's much better and more interesting as batgirl but I do like her as oracle too, the batgirl persona is not just important to her past but just important to her in general no matter what, same with oracle too don't get me wrong, although I might be bias towards batgirl, but if you preferred her as oracle well fair enough, and this is only my opinion.

    • @damianprock1650
      @damianprock1650 8 років тому +1

      TheNerdDude in all honesty, I had in mind to do a different take on the Killing Joke, where the Joker didn't shoot her through the spine, but he along with Harley Quinn blast her kneecaps with shotguns, causing for her legs to be amputated

    • @lolosmith8340
      @lolosmith8340 6 років тому +1

      It does not matter when the Killing Joke movie came out. DCAUs are not canon. And DCAUs will never be canon.
      DC comics (like Marvel) sell their animation rights to other companies. And as long as the company has rights to a character they can do basically what ever they want in the animation. Even if it's uncharacteristic of a character.
      Because only DC comics can create and rewrite the true history of a character.
      This is why origin stories/video (like this video) only use comic books as a reference to a character's history.
      Hence this/other videos tell viewers in the begin, "We are looking at comic book issues..." for info about this character.
      Because they can only use canon sources and references.
      If you like the Killing Joke movie, you like it. But, it's still not canon.
      And only canons are official. And not DCAUs.
      So, the Killing Joke DCAU could have came out 2 years before this video was made and they still would not have mentioned it.
      Note: "The Killing Joke" is a canon comic story plot from the canon comic book. (Which was mentioned in this video)
      The Killing Joke DCAU (which TheNerdDude is referencing) is a crappy movie made by Bruce Timm. In which, critics and fans panned because if you know anything about Bruce and Barbara then you know why they would never sleep together. It's against their character profile.
      Either way, The Killing Joke DCAU does not matter because it did not happened and it's not canon.
      According to DC comics, if it did not happen in the canon comic books, it did not happen.

    When will Babs get a movie that shows just how cool she is!?
    She's freakin cool and far beyond how people see her as just a feminine and/or sex symbol. Most women in comics seem almost incapable of not being someone's romantic interest, but Babs only had a short fling with Dick Grayson and that was it. She's a strong independent woman who don't need no man. Plus, while Robins came and went, Babs stayed with Batman even after she was paralysed. Plus, she makes the wheelchair sexy.

    Iceman, he is highly underrated and often shunned by superhero fans and even x men fans, so origins for him please

    Brown apparently has been dropped as of mid 2011 when "the new 52" reset the DC universe. They went back to Barbara Gordon as Batgirl (curing her of her paralysis caused by the Joker in the Killing Joke). This video totally left unmentioned her leadership (as Oracle) of the Bird of Prey, perhaps because it is viewed as a separate subject.

    the event Flashpoint caused major changes to the DC universe which lead to the new 52. Kill joke was a pre-flashpoint event.

    He had a daughter too, but they didn't focus on her and they never mentioned her name. We can only hope!!! But I doubt they will bring her into the movies... but then again I didn't think they would bring Robin and they did!! So we can only hope! haha
