It's clear that when Frank writes Batman, this is EXACTLY how he views it, allowing himself to live vicariously through the ultra badass who women are tossing their panties at.

I'd love to see characters return to their stronger days, when their being an independent woman didn't mean they were secretly craving a strong man to bed them. :I

As for Barbara, I was never a big Batgirl fan, but from what I've been told by other comic readers, they actually found her to be a better character as Oracle and found others like Stephanie to be better under the Batgirl mantle.

This, all of this.

"Every major female character in DC Comics" is a massive exaggeration.

Really now. Power Girl is your example? The woman who is, and always been, a walking sexjoke? In the comics she's already held Snow Globes in front of her chest, water melons, and two basketballs. (No really, basketballs). I'll give you the rest, but Power Girl? No, she's always been a joke.
