Barbara Gordon Will Call You Out On Your Sexist Crap

Batgirl confirmed for Young Justice
Since Barbara Gordon was added to the cast of Young Justice earlier this season there has been speculation that she might be joining the team as Batgirl. When a preview of the Young Justice Invasion action figure was spied at Toy Fair that speculation grew. And now it is confirmed in the preview for Invasion:
Sadly it seems we won’t ever see the toy.
Oh, did you want to see Batgirl in a new Super Best Friends Forever clip?
Because it’s right here. And it’s awesome.
A clip from DC Nation’s Super Best Friends Forever!
Needs more Batgirl, but otherwise this looks adorable.
More DC Women good news from Fisher Price
Last week I showed you Wonder Woman’s invisible plane and Batgirl and Wonder Woman Little People on the shelf at Target.
Now Fisher Price has expanded its wheelies and added another character close to my heart:
I continue to be so pleased with how Fisher Price is bringing female characters into superhero toys, especially for this age group.

Is Batgirl joining Young Justice?
Barbara Gordon has been seen in a few of the most recent episodes of Young Justice leading to speculation that Batgirl might join the show.
Produce Greg Weisman has been closed mouth on the topic as recently as January 30.
But now there is some evidence that she may be appearing in her incarnation as Batgirl as part of the Young Justice miniseries Invasion.
Someone emailed me this image of toys shown at the Toy Fair. That does look like double figure Young Justice packaging:
And that certainly looks like Barbara Gordon as Batgirl.
There. are. Batgirl. Converse. Sneakers.
I can die happy. Okay, I don’t mean now, but look - BabsGirl Batgirl sneakers.
