How the Snyder Cut and a child’s question sum up modern fandom

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), a recap (part 1 of 5)

Black Canary/Oracle: Birds of Prey #1 (1996)

It might be hard for some modern readers to believe, but there was a time when Batgirl was not interesting. At all. In fact, the only pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths Batgirl story I can remember was a story where…
