Discover What Your Name Means Day: Batgirls (Various Continuities)
Today is the Discover What Your Name Means Day (7 March) so I thought it would be fun to do a photoset of the Batgirls with their first name meanings.
Last year I did Red Robins the year prior with Red Hoods, Nightwings, and Robins before them (see links below) and I thought that I would continue this trend with this year for Batgirls.
Awesome seeing there was a sizzle reel shown at The CW’s Upfront for “Gotham Knights” and there’s positive reaction from those that saw it on Twitter!!! :D Also confirmed they did cast an actor to play Bruce Wayne but so far they’ve either not recognized them or didn’t reveal who the actor is. Seems to debunk too the theory of Jensen Ackles and we knew it wouldn’t be Warren Christie either who plays him in the Arrowverse. Then Duela’s look in the poster and from what was shown at the trailer believes The Joker is her father and matches the comics where she doesn’t know for certain if her father is him or Harvey (though in “Batwoman” Harvey was actually her uncle so one of the two is happening here). Also Turner’s blue/black outfit seems to hint that he might be a version of Nightwing as from everything I’m reading he’s a mashup of at least Dick Grayson and Tim Drake. The others in the poster have colors matching their hero personas: Carrie in green for Robin, Harper in blue for Bluebird, Duela in purple and green for The Joker, etc. Very curious if this reel/teaser will be posted online at some point and/or they reveal who was cast as Bruce soon.
Okay, so after working through a timeline and sorting through when everyone is born and how everyone works around main events, I have a pretty solid list of ages. I’m still going to be working on making a thorough timeline, but the one I worked on today was just to get their ages sorted out. I’ll start designing everyone for this AU soon enough.
The ages I’m about to list are the ages that each character is at when they all know about each other, and everyone is either living with Bruce, living on their own, or living with other Guardians
Barbara Gordon-34 – Dick Grayson -31 – Jason Todd-26 – Cassandra Cain-26 – Stephanie Brown-25 – Carrie Kelley - 25 – Tim Drake-24 – Duke Thomas-23 – Harper Row-22 – Damian Wayne-20 – Athanasia al Ghul-20 – Cullen Row-20 – Terry McGinnis-16 – Alina Wayne-15 – Ibn al Xu’ffasch-12 – Tallant Wayne-10 – Helena “Hel” Kyle-9 – Matt McGinnis-7 – Helena “Lena” Wayne-5
Instead of one Batkid filling in as Batman when Bruce can’t they all do it and every single citizen of Gotham will swear to their dying breath that there is only one Batman and that it’s the same person in every picture regardless of if the pictures are of Stephanie and Damian or of Dick and Jason or whatever, they are all clearly the same Batman, yes even the one in the corner of the picture because Batman™
wee oo wee oo i made another carrie redesign. not MUCH changed for her batwoman costume because honestly it rules, but i did change the weird dual-tail flaps and mini cape shawl to more of a sleeveless long coat vibe. and gave her a belt. i am a carrie kelley stan first and a person second.
theres more carrie kelley on the way i just found a pic of her (one of her??) batgirl/woman costumes and im foaming at the mouth why do i need a batman oc when carrie kelley is right there we’re basically the same person anyways
also click for better quality, its a WIP but still
