Nobody is the top or the bottom they don't even have sex they just stand next to each other and occasionally try to kill each other and that's like sex for them

My new favorite thing about Nightwing is that he'll be looking at henchmen saying "Woah Lady's is that what you call a dance?" While his narration right above him will be like:

"I will never be good enough"

Barbara Gordon was about 30 years old, she was a congresswoman, she was a black belt in three different martial arts, she was Robin's big sister, she was Bruce's childhood friend and Gordon's protege but they threw all of that out so they could ship Barbara and dick they threw out everything that made her interesting just so dick and babs can work that is why I hate dick x babs I hate hate hate that ship so much

[fantastic-nonsense]

Absolutely none of this is correct apart from pre-Crisis Barbara having been a congresswoman. Literally none of it.

Barbara was a maximum of 28 years old when Crisis on Infinite Earths happened, and she was de-aged a maximum of 2-3-ish years in the aftermath (since The Killing Joke generally ends up being placed in the post-Crisis timeline around the time that Babs is 25-26).

She wasn't a black belt in three martial arts; she was explicitly a brown belt in judo and karate and that was it. It wasn't until post-Crisis that she gained additional martial arts skills (and honestly even that didn't happen until the post-Zero Hour stories of the late 90s/early 2000s, with the publication of stuff like Batgirl: Year One).

She was not Bruce's "childhood friend." Where did this even come from? This has never been a thing in any kind of comics or comics media. Like....pre-Crisis, they did not meet each other until Barbara was Head Librarian of the Gotham City Library. Post-Crisis, Babs snuck into her father's office at 13 and saw Batman meeting with Gordon for a case. There is no childhood friendship to speak of there.

She was not Dick's "big sister." That was not a thing. Even in pre-Crisis, when their age gap was a bit larger, Dick notably flirted with her several times and there's literally a panel from her early congressional era where she's commenting on how hot she thinks college freshman-era Dick is but he's "too young" for her so it's a bad idea to pursue it.

She's historically not her dad's protege in any sense. It was a notable thing that she was a librarian and Jim was a cop and the only time she ever tried to follow him on anything was when she took his place in Congress! post-Crisis tried to de-emphasize this separation by making her initially want to follow in her dad's footsteps and be a cop, but that's the devil talking. She's a librarian and that's important to her character!

Also I am once again on my soapbox to remind people that Dick and Babs did not get together until a full thirteen years after she was (slightly) de-aged in COIE, Dick was still dating Kory at the time and would continue to do so for another six years, and both characters had multiple other love interests in between that breakup and when they got together in 2000!

Babs getting de-aged, the Dickkory breakup....neither one has anything to do with Dick and Babs getting together! They did not "throw anything out" to create Dick/Babs, Babs' origins and history were altered long before the concept of putting her in a romantic relationship with Dick Grayson was ever seriously thought about in the DC editorial offices. Please actually go read the comics in question before you talk about these things!
