A Very Powerful One And Despite Her Hangups With The Bats And Moral Differences - Tumblr Posts
2 years ago
Helena Bertinelli should get Batman legacy rights for wearing the mantle during the No Man's Land crisis. Because she wasn't trying to replace Barbara Gordon's Batgirl, folks. She was trying to replace Bruce Wayne's Batman. She called herself The Bat. She saw herself as acting in Bruce's stead and several people thought she was him for months. She specifically told Bruce "Gotham needed a Bat" and he implicitly accepted that justification. She's not the third Batgirl; she's the fourth Batman. She should get credit for it.

Yes! She is the fourth Batman
and she was doing an amazing job until some old guy with a narcissism problem turned up and just had to take charge
She was there the whole time
helping people
while Bruce was doing his Bruce thing
She gets more than rights to be a Batman
To add onto this
I think she has rights to both mantles
but especially more Batman
She decieded on her own that she herself as Huntress couldnt be rnough to help Gotham
but she knew that the Bat was a symbol
a very powerful one and despite her hangups with the bats and moral differences
she put that symbol on and she wore it proudly and with respect towards what it mesnt
she tried her damn best but she couldnt live up to the perfect expectation of a guy who needs to get a bit of a reality check
