Here’s an idea I’ve been fiddling with for little while. I have more in my sketchbook but I figured I really needed to let it run free in the wild and move on to the next project.
I am smitten with the idea of a cartoon featuring Batgirl as a modern Gotham-based Nancy Drew. It feels like a really good, cheerful fit. We all know the tune:
Barbara Gordon, plucky teenage daughter of the Police Commissioner, solves mysteries and chases criminals in a home-made Bat-costume, and equipped with a detective kit of her own devising.
I think it’d be nice to see what kind of rad adventures a brainy, kinda nosy, science-minded detective girl could have.
(Edited to add a couple extra pics!)OMG THIS IS THE BEST!!!!!
… man, why is superhero fanart often so much better than the real thing? I mean, why ISN’T this a real thing??? If it was a comic would buy like 50 copies! And, y’know, maybe it could be done Wimpy Kid style, prose/illustrations, and sold in bookstores? That would be so cool.
SO CUUUUTE!
Too cute!
would totally read this. It’s adorable! Especially if there was an animated adaption where Tara Strong played Batgirl....

I might actually buy a Batgirl comic if it looked as cool as this does.
/agreed
Nancy Drew was my home girl growing up. I would totally read the hell outta this.
This would be so adorable.
