Same! I saw the appeal of comics Dick/Babs but I’ve never been able to get invested?? And I REALLY don’t like how the fandom keeps reducing her to her ~relationship with Dick, although lbr, the show isn’t giving us a lot to work with regarding Babs.
here's the thing for meeee, Dick Grayson is such a polarizing character in the show (and in the comics, too, obv but that's not really the issue here) that having Barbara date him would reduce her to a love interest and nothing more? which is, I think, a disservice to her. I mean I can ship him with Artemis because Artemis has been a well-rounded character from season 1 who, ignoring the Wally mess, had a really good character arc of her own. But yeah, with characters that are already constantly ignored it's like, eh.
I'm actually really surprised of how little we've seen of Barbara so far, given that a-) she's a Batman protegee and b-) how much DC loves her. I normally wouldn't complain because sigh Barbara Gordon exhaustion over here but it's uh a little bit WEIRD (to say the least) that she's probably the one member of the team who has had barely ANY LINES this season. I know she was part of that all girls team with M'gann, Karen and Cassie, but lbr other than flying that plane and sassing Dick, she didn't really get to do anything.
Bart, on the other hand, already has had interactions with like at least 1/4 of the team, and had an entire episode dedicated to him. DON'T GET ME WRONG, I love Bart but like, Barbara has been around since season 1, technically, but we don't really know ANYTHING about her other than she's Batgirl, apparently friends with Dick, and that out of all the Batfam she's the only one who's revealed her secret ID to the team.

That’s actually one of my biggest problems with Invasion. We don’t really get to see much of the women outside of their relationships with men!
y e s. honestly I didn't mind the time skip as much as everyone else did, but the one thing I will never not be mad about how Greg Weisman has all but admitted that Rocket was little more than a plot device in season 1. It's really infuriating? Like I'm glad she's part of the JL now but :| now she's GETTING MARRIED and we're just supposed to take this, I GUESS. And I really loved that scene they had in today's episode of all the girls together but idk it just felt to me like they were just throwing us a bone and hoping for us to shut up.
