While listening to this I thought what
a cute, enjoyable read. With many different characters and something
for everyone to like. But then there was a scene in chapter 18/19
that hit me hard. Batgirl is saving an old man and he says something,
along the lines as don't save me I want a real hero not a girl
saving me. Back in his days girls weren't superheros. My eyes started
watering because of that. The idea that I don't personalty see the
world the way the elder of this world do, is crazy to think of. The
idea that a young girl can't be a superhero because she's female
stabs me in the heart. But I love how Barbara handles this. She still
saves the man, and does the best she can not to let this get her
down. I love how the author slipped this in, with out it unrolling
the whole story. This is a story I think more young girls should
read. It has many lesson wrapped up in a kick butt story.
