ADDITIONALLY: Oracle, as a character & through her stories, addressed the treatment she had received in TKJ and held that writing accountable (see Batman Chronicles #5).

(NOTE: In order to emotionally set up readers for TKJ, DC published Batgirl Special #1 not long before, where Barbara retired being Batgirl.)

If you dislike Oracle because of Batman: The Killing Joke (TKJ), you fundamentally misunderstand Oracle’s origins and what that identity did for Barbara Gordon. In other words, Oracle saved Barbara Gordon’s character both figuratively and literally. 🧵

I just noticed the similarity between Babs' outfit in The Killing Joke and in Suicide Squad #49. Even if unintentional, this was such a power move & really symbolic. A story focused on Babs' agency & feelings using a similar outfit from when that agency was taken away from her &
