But...uh....yeah. If I were to write Batgirl the not stupid way--basically the anti-Simone way--I would have taken a lesson from Frank Miller and made her a head strong teenage bat-groupie fuck up that sniffs out trouble and ends up making huge messes that she has to figure out how to clean up on her own.
Not necessarily stupid, but a terribly naive leap-before-she-looks type who eventually forms some semblance of a method to her approaches without ever making an exact science out of it as Batman was able to.
And that touchy-feely reflection of Simone's character onto Barbara's wouldn't exist. If I were to seriously consider a Batgirl character (which I wouldn't, because it's stupid), I would imagine it being driven by a gung-ho, beat 'em up idealism. Not an 'I'm okay, you're okay' lecture. Especially in Gotham for fuck's sake.
