COMICS: Gail Simone Seemingly Forced Off BATGIRL

Proof that DC is run by a bunch of [frick]ing idiots ( so is marvel to a certain extent). Some one please slap the editior and Dan Dido

I feel very sorry for her, she is a very talented writer

She actually has a past of good word such as writing Superman, Secret Six, and Birds of Prey.

DC Comics, what have you been smoking?
You obviously wanna smoke away all of your comic book sales if you're kicking a major part of the Bat Family Writer.
Snyder must defend her!

and she also wrote Wonder Woman and Deadpool!

@Intruder

They had some good artwork back then, it's better than most of the artwork today, perhaps.

Gail Simone did a good job writing the Batgirl comics. It's to bad she is being forced out! :(

DC Comics.....Come closer please.....



You're gonna get an ass-whoopin!

Well...maybe Batgirl will be decent now.
I like Simone, love her team books, but this is one of the comics by her that I absolutely hated (the other being her Wonder Woman which is weird given how good her work on the Wonder Woman movie was).
While DC is making plenty of mistakes...eh, this barely can rank among them.
I mean, Simone's "LEGIONS OF FANS" tend to just barely keep her books above the point of cancellation and that's it. Sure, that doesn't speak for quality (especially given that Batgirl is probably her beststelling work, but at the same time far FAR from her best), but I'm just pointing out, that the level of fan love she gets is not nearly as large as the internet makes it out to be. It's just that some people online are rather vocal in how much they like her work. But the people that support her online because they like her or because she is a woman but don't buy her book...they don't mean much in the grand scheme of things. They don't help anyone. Sales matter. It's a sad fact, it's why Snyder is dominating DC these days (and he is one writer I'm not exactly a big fan of...then again, Marvel snatched most of the writers i like....it's tough days to be a DC fan)

Eventho I think it is a wrong idea to take Babs out of the wheelchair, Batgirl was one of the few really good reads of the New52.

Unfortunetly, a gutless move by DC by just emailing her. Grow some backbone and have a meeting. Or, at least, call.

Honestly, do people think Batgirl can get any more offensive in terms of writing Babs? Simone's current version of Babs is weak, incapable, acts like a child and where Oracle fought the Joker, new Babs starts crying because she sees one of his goons. That's not exactly empowering. (and I still can't comprehend that the fantastic classic BOP Babs and this wreck are written by the same person!)

paptschik well, this version of Babs is not over getting shot and beeing in a wheelchair. so, no, PTSD is not offensive.

@Battabing phone call. Common cortesy.

I wasn't reading Batgirl but seems like they lost another good writer, that's what? Like 7 now? I wonder how many people will be left when this is all said and done?

DC is slowly dying one writer and artist at a time. No one is going to want to work with them considering this track record, unless the big heads running the company are fired or something.

I don't mind updating costumes and a few other changes but the new 52 has done more bad than good. The older fans are pissed and don't even read from them anymore, the newer fans they've gained were mad because of the continued change of creative teams like every [frick]ing week.

Gail if I were you I'd go and create my own stuff at Vertigo or just leave DC altogether and go over to Image or something and just make your own original characters. follow in the footsteps of Robert Kirkman [frick] the BIG TWO they're not worth it these days.

@TheNerdicon nah, I hate most of the stories being told.
