This is not a good Babs/Oracle story. It would have been a good story with a whole other cast. Also, does batman and Robin really exist in this world? Because one of the character has a Robin plushie, but Ben has DC Comics posters.
I liked the Color in the artwork, but god If I took a shot everytime a character said that they needed to be « fix » from their disability I would be in a comma right now. At least the characters learn to fight ableism and know that they don’t know to be fix.
Also the plot-twist? You can see it coming from the beginning.
Anyway I need a better story for my girl Barbara

I have never read the killing joke, I dont want to, as a disabled person all I heard about it (often from other disabled comic fans) makes me want to cry in anger and pain, I like that there is an alternative now, I like the idea about kids getting this - it is a kid book and for me as an adult it could have been a bit "better" told here and there but I am not the main traget audience and I still liked it, it was a quick read, that made me happy.
It is finished in itself but I would love more from this universe, specially to get more of the side characters and the relationships.
