DC Batgirl Cover Pulled...

I think one really fascinating aspect that seems to have escaped the microscope in all of this is that Barbara Gordon, AKA Oracle, ended up being a handicapped hero. Which is something we never see. And should be applauded.

The argument made a few pages back out other heroes making a full recovery is valid, but it's way more interesting to let Gordon stay paralyzed and continue to kick ass! There are so few of those heroes for those who need/deserve them.

I agree. Nu52 was AIDS overall, pre-Nu52 had it's issues but overall pretty much perfect in the state it was in, particularly with regards to the Batverse and associated characters.
