My only problem with the art is that the proportions look off. Her right leg looks double the size of her left leg und her right thigh looks to be the size of her entire torso.

Yeah, I kinda like the sound of the lighter tone but the art style doesn't look like a continuation of the current Batgirl. It looks like an ongoing about the one from The Batman or something.

For the first one...the lengths look about right, but the right thigh does seem a tad too large. Not a major issue though, I think the first picture is okay.

You're talking about the second picture (that shows her costume details)? Something does seem off about that one. I won't say her right leg is double the size of her left, but it does seem too long.

Anyway, comic artists have never been known for respecting proportion, so relative to the average, I say this is pretty good. My opinion, anyway.

A 12 year old girl does not have the proportional height of 7-8 heads this Barbara is having, nor hips that wide, though.

I'm talking about the costume design, the suggested body language, and that ridiculous selfie image. You'd think this was New 52 Year One: Batgirl Goes to High School! Or something, it's very disappointing considering where the character is right now.

Ahh yes because proportions clearly determine age in comic art

Costume design is fine, artwork is just bad

But I can get over that. I can't get over the insinuation that the character will appear or act much younger than she actually is despite being a fully fledged and strong woman. I think this art work and the design for that matter completely miss the mark for the character. I don't generally have such strong reactions to a new design for a character, but this one is just plain opposed to the actual character.

Don't take this the wrong way but frankly I don't really understand why you're nitpicking what I do or don't like about it. I just don't like it, it's very uncharacteristic of Babs in a modern sense. I don't like the costume necessarily, but it's fine. I can almost forgive it despite looking like someones poor Halloween costume imitation of the Batgirl suit. It's like Stephanie Brown cosplaying as Barbara Gordon's Batgirl at a party.

I don't generally have such strong reactions to a new design for a character, but this one is just plain opposed to the actual character. It's really just that. We're thinking on two different wavelengths. I thought about the design from a completely neutral point of view, you took into account the actual interpretation of the character. You're not wrong. I just wanted to clarify that. Because if from a technical point of view this was horrid, then most of comics should be considered atrocious. So now that I understand, it makes sense to me that the interpretation and style of the character was considered to be inappropriate to Batgirl. Not the technical aspects of the artwork. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm pretty sure the image where Barbara is taking a selfie is just a variant cover. DC's going to be doing that.
Look, here's one right now: (For Batman/Superman Vol. II, Issue 14.) It's still sad to see Gail Simone leave the book, though. I know everyone else said it, but I was a fan, too. |
