Episode 42: Batgirl and Batwoman (Barbara Gordon, Kate Kane, Stephanie Brown, & Cassandra Cain)
After hearing a little about Batwoman from last episode, a listener has a question on the various Bat-ladies, and how to tell them apart. We dive into the history of Batgirl and Batwoman from the 1950s all the way to the present.
The original Batwoman, as drawn by her co-creator.
And the modern interpretation…
Batgirl and Batwoman, doing what they do best…soothing. (I wish that weren’t the case, but this is fairly typical for the storytelling of the time)
It speaks poorly of Commissioner Gordon’s detecting ability that he didn’t recognize his daughter in this outfit.
I love the sewed over mouthpiece. You know, since she doesn’t talk, why would she want to breathe comfortably?
Stephanie Brown in her version of the Batgirl costume.
And back to Barbara. I have to say, this is my favorite of the costumes. Do you have a preference?
