It does look like its time to find if she was Oracle. Interesting Ed Benes is drawing this.

Ugh. Really DC? We need to go over that AGAIN?
I know it’s an important part of her past, but do we really need to see Joker shooting her AGAIN?
You liked Oracle? That’s too bad, she was either erased or heavily retconned.
You didn’t like Babs being fridged in TKJ? HERE’S ANOTHER FLASHBACK
On the bright side, we may finally know if she was Oracle once and for all. Since this is being released in September, it took what? A year?
You know what needed revisiting? The fridging of Barbra Gordon. Even better? Let’s add the skeevy porno-traced artwork of Mr. Benes. GREAT.
DC, are you actively trying to run off your female fanbase? I just want to know if I should leave before it gets worse.
Is everyone enjoying the 4-pack of udders on her torso? Great. Thanks for pointing that one out @ShivaeStudios
oh good
now i’m angry at specific people for specific things!
The solicit is incredibly misleading, unfortunately. The issue is not about TKJ at all.
That’s good to know! I wish DC editorial didn’t seem to think that TKJ is what sells Batgirl or Barbara.
I would like to move on from it.
I will also say that most of the zero issues really aren’t origin stories, in the traditional sense. They are sort of…expansions, maybe? To show the things that haven’t been covered. The ones I have read have been really interesting.
