Now Is the Perfect Time for the Batgirls to Fix Their Public Image

The following article contains spoilers from Batgirls #6, on sale now.

Fresh off the heels of their victory over Spellbinder and Tutor, the Batgirls now have a golden opportunity to rehabilitate their public image. In Batgirls #6 (by Becky Cloonan, Michael W. Conrad, Jorge Conrad, Sarah Stern, and Becca Carey) the Batgirls were approached by none other than Seer, who asked for their help. While this is most likely a trap, it also presents a unique opportunity for them.

Their capture of Spellbinder and Tutor has earned them their first positive press commentary in months. Adding to this, Seer’s request for their assistance means that she will no longer be able to digitally torment the Batgirls if she wants to earn their trust. Taken together, it creates the perfect foundation for the Batgirls to prove that they are not the murderers the city believes them to be.

Their defeat of Tutor coincided with the Batgirls rescuing Grace O’Halloran, a news reporter who went on to praise them for not only saving her life, but the lives of all the people Tutor had brainwashed. This is perhaps the first positive feedback both young women have gotten since their new series began. The fact that it was also from an official news source is a bonus, giving their credibility a boost as well as having an eyewitness to their heroism.

While Grace’s following might be smaller than more prominent Gotham news shows, it will reach enough people to make the city begin to wonder if they were wrong to assume the worst in them. From there, it would be a small matter for the Batgirls to build upon this good press.

They could become more active in the community, not needing to hide in the shadows as much as they have lately. Perhaps they could start to properly look into the murders that have been happening in their neighborhood. Even if they just stick to normal vigilantism, protecting the city from the villains stalking it, increased visibility would sway the public, capitalizing on that growing trust until their names have been cleared.

They may not even have to put in much legwork to do it. Seer’s sudden request for their assistance at the end suggests a tentative alliance is in the near future. Whether the evil Oracle’s intentions are pure or not is debatable, but if it is a lie, then to sell it she will need to stop trying to kill the Batgirls.

This would give Oracle the time she needs to establish a secure new network, perhaps even giving her a chance to find proof of the Batgirls’ innocence. The series has already shown that Oracle is all for spreading the truth. She gave information to the Saints proving they had been manipulated, and she spoke to Gotham about Spellbinder’s misdeeds.

With her network restored and not having to look over her shoulder for Seer, Oracle could finally locate records that prove the Batgirls had nothing to do with the Magistrate deaths Seer framed them for. This would be child’s play for her. She’s already an adept hacker, without the constant need to be alert and the security of an enhanced system. All in all, the Batgirls have never had a better opportunity to fix what Seer broke.
