As I often do, I came up with the pose before I decided what character to draw this week. And since this pose looked especially submissive I figured a younger character would fit best. (But not too young. Let's not go nuts. Come to think of it Batgirl is eighteen right? Hello?) I did my best to feature what I assume is her current costume, or at least a recent one. She certainly looks more utilitarian and combat-functional than she did when I was introduced to her on the old Batman Animated Series. Back then she dressed like a Batman themed cheerleader. Which was rad. 

Anyhow I don't think I've ever picked up a Batgirl comic in my life, but I'm a bit of a rare case: I consider myself a Batman fan, and am ever interested in new media featuring the character and his universe...except in comic books.

Strange I know, I love Batman but simply don't care for the comics he's in. I find them depressing and frankly kind of gross, seeming to rely heavily on increasingly shocking violence to keep readers engaged. I think the issue where Joker sliced his own face off to wear as a mask(?) was the last one I read. Though to be fair, that was years ago. It's possible they've changed since then. What do you think? Are those comics worth me giving them another shot now? Let me know.

Thinking I might do another barely legal DC sidekick next week. I'm trying to come up with someone who could go up against Wonder Girl in a poll. If you have any ideas I'd be happy to hear them.
