Ask Oracle, Blackbat and Batgirl anything!
Maintainers: Shobogan
GRAPHIC: A photo set of tender moments between Barbara and Bruce / Oracle and Batman.
I need you to trust me.
I’ve always trusted you. And you know I always will.
Batman and Spoiler rest on a rooftop, watching the city.
Batman: You’re probably wondering why I do this. Why I took you on as a student.
Spoiler: You are spooky.
Robin 92
Spoiler skids across the top of a train with Batman.

Batgirl: Guess we can scratch one more bad guy off our list.
Batman: Don’t get too carried away, Batgirl. There’s still a lot to do. Head back to the cave and monitor things fro there. I’m goin’ back undercover.
Batgirl: Did I just hear an East End Gotham accent creep in there? Maybe you’re the one who should be more careful.

Batman’s finger points at Spoiler from off panel
Batman: If I had any sense, I would have sent you packing with Alfred and Tim.
Spoiler, sans cowl, looks amused and unimpressed.
Spoiler: If you had any sense, you wouldn’t be dressed like that.
Green Arrow 5
Batman and Spoiler stand over Oliver’s body.
Batman: But this is what bothers me most. Here - above his heart…my records indicate there should be a large scar.
Spoiler: Records? Oh! You mean the dirt you collected on your “friends” in the Justice League? The info that Rasta-guy used against them when he made it so nobody could understand what anybody else was saying a few months ago? You mean those records?
Green Arrow 5
Stephanie sums up Babylon.
Anonymous asked: Why was Steph fired from being Robin? What reason did Bruce have?
In Robin 125, Bruce gives her the terms of being Robin - which are, I believe, stricter than anyone else’s.
In Robin 128, Batman goes to fight a criminal and tells Robin to wait in the plane. They’re in contact through the comms, though, and…
Robin goes in, and the villain gets away. Stephanie sits home for three weeks until Bruce calls her.
“You remember our agreement. You disobeyed a direct order in the field. You’re fired. Take the rest of the afternoon to gather your personal thing and retrieve your personal files out of the computer. Take everything now, because you won’t be back. The codes will be changed as soon as you leave.”
“I know I screwed up awful bad, but - “
“I gave you a fair shot. You didn’t measure up, but there’s no shame in that. And Stephanie? Let this be the end of it. From now on, I don’t expect to see Spoiler out there either.”
Batman and Batgirl face each other on a rooftop beneath a red sky.
Batgirl: Batman?
Batman: Yes?
Batgirl tilts her head, expression vulnerable beneath her mask.
Batgirl: Be careful.
Batgirl 15
Oracle and Batman are facing off, with Jim Gordon in the middle, against a white background, save for a few green projections above Oracle’s head. Oracle is pointing towards Batman.
Oracle: How about you don’t tell us where to go - and I don’t tell you where to stick it?
Jim: Wait a moment. Just hold on. What is this about, exactly?
