Had a second image added in, back in February, to represent her New 52 look. Well-intentioned, and I appreciate that the person doing so added it in in addition to her traditional, Batman: The Animated Series-originating look instead of replacing it outright, but it's producing a pretty big problem: with both images, they're now going well into the folders (if you use the new folder layout, it pushes the lot down a good distance, leaving a lot of empty white space).

Now, I don't follow comics very closely, so I'm not sure why we need the New 52 look at all when her classic look is the more iconic one. That said, if it's the case that having the new design is essential, a single collage image would do better than two separate images, surely.

I dropped the second one down inside the New 52 folder for now. Is the new look permanent and used throughout her serieses, or is it specific to the New 52 run only? If it's permanent, then a collage of smaller versions would be the way to go.

In any case, we certainly don't need two huge images of complete covers. They should both be cropped to focus more on her with less around the sides.

I'd request a caption change on both images if that remains the status quo, with the New 52 image used to represent the New 52 stories only and the older image used to represent the character as a whole, as the current "main" image has the caption "old school" clearly referring in reciprocal fashion to the New 52 image, but I have a vague memory of the New 52 look itself being inspired at least in part by her appearance in the Batman: Arkham Series...

Given that this page is more about a character than the work, I would also use a character-focused image.
