She's Not An Only Child

And that so-called 'brother' that Grant Morrison invented and shoehorned into the Batman mythos where it made no sense to be does not exist to me. These are Barbara's brothers.

I agree w/ 2 out of 3 of the characters... While Damian actually made sense as he was referenced in an earlier story... I have never fully accepted the character as Robin. I would say Jason Todd is more of a brother to Babs than Damian is....

That is only because Damian is so new and Barbara only just came back as Batgirl. I loved her as Oracle and I can live with both. Damian is such a brat but he needs a big sister to slap him around some. He's got a lot to learn from her about enjoying the job and not being so intense all the time.

From what I had been reading online, Steph seemed to be good at putting him in his place... I wish they could find a place/use for her again so maybe he could get back to a more tolerable place. Damian reminds me too much of Jason Todd during his annoying days... My problem is less that Damian is new, and more that I just find him irritating. And I've actually been wanting Babs as Batgirl since Zero Hour teased us with it waaaay back in '94!! I love Oracle, but I love Babs as BG A LOT more than Babs as Oracle... I still think Chloe Sullivan could fill that roll and could even provide a link between the Bats and Supes line of characters that way...
