Drawn by Bruce Timm, it had the best version of Batgirl from the animated series of the same name. I would love to see 'Batgirl - Year One' drawn in this style. I know DC has the feature film in their pipeline but it can't come too soon for me.
You probably already know this, and yes I know that the picture you have posted is from the brilliant Bruce Timm, but I'm pretty sure that most of the early and greatest issues of Batman Adventures where actually drawn by the remarkably talented Mike Parobek, who very sadly died in 1996 because of complications from Diabetes... But.. either way. yes. I miss that comic as well. (mike from american comicon on tumblr).
To me, the best thing about all the "Kiddie Comics" that were out at that time is they did not have any story arc. You could pick a random comic and read it without reading the previous twenty, nor other titles. Just like a tv episode, and a lot like Conan the Barbarian always was.
I like Timm's stuff a lot too, and he does do a great Batgirl.
Here, here Anonymous! (or is it 'hear, hear'?) for Mike Parobek. BT is the man but it's criminal how overlooked Parobek has become. His run on Batman adventures are some of the greatest comics of all time. OF ALL TIME!
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Right on. I miss it too.
I have actually met people who do not care for Bruce Timm's style, I am not one of them I totally would love to see more of Batgirl from Mr. Timm!

Thanks for reminding me of that. Mike Parobek was very talented and I miss his stuff. Thanks for your comment.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: If I could live in any "comic world," I'd want it to be Timm's.
