You might be wondering why would I want to make a page on Batgirl? Well
for several reasons. One is that when I was a little kid (I'm 14 now :),
I used to watch episodes of Batman from the 60's TV series. (They showed
re-runs, I didn't watch them as they were actually being made.) One day
in the opening credits where it showed Batman riding in a Batmobile, a
woman in a batsuit suddenly rode across the screen on her motercycle! I
watched the episode and decided I liked Batgirl, even though all she ever
did was kick and swing off of stuff on the ceiling. Looking back, I realize
she actually fought as effectively as Batman himself!
Now that I'm 13, I saw The Adventures of Batman and Robin. I was not
as big as a Batman fan as I am now, and I liked X-Men and Generation X
better. But X-Men and Batman come on FOX, and so while I was waiting for
X-Men, Batman came on. It was an episode entitled "Batgirl Returns."
I liked it, a lot better than the 60's series. This Batman series captured
"the mood" of Batman. Dark. Mysterious. Silent. But what I liked
most, was that Batgirl seemed to be a much stronger character. She seemed
almost invincible, the way she fought. I liked how she was stronger, more
agile, more personable. I decided to surf the web, and see what pages there
were of Batgirl. I only found three in the whole world! So I decided I
would make a Batgirl page.
