YMMV / Batgirl and the Birds of Prey

Go To

  • Broken Base: Helena Bertinelli going back to the Huntress mantle is contentious. Some are happy to see a version of Helena that's closer to her pre-Flashpoint self, while others think that her role as the head of a spy organization (as in Grayson) was more interesting.
  • The Scrappy: Fans were already annoyed at the idea of another character having the title of "Oracle". But the reveal that "Oracle" was just an Ascended Fanboy who stalked the Birds since the early days of their crimefighting careers left many angry. Not helping is that some interpret the character as the writers mocking fans who clamored for the pre-Flashpoint versions of the Birds. It got worse when Gus is ultimately killed and Barbara, wracked with guilt, destroys the data that held her old Oracle stuff, effectively "killing" Oracle.
  • Ship-to-Ship Combat: A mild one, between fans who liked Nightwing with Barbara from pre-Flashpoint, and fans who liked him with Helena from Grayson. Never mind that he already has a love interest in his own book.
