Title: Batgirls Inc.
Characters: Babs, Cass, Steph
Notes: I tried to keep this as non-affected by the reboot as possible. This is why it ends the way it does, and also why there are pics I haven't used. I didn't want this to be bittersweet, I didn't want this to be a summary of their stories; I wanted this to be a presentation of their selves. There's no end at all.
Batgirl(s)
1.Like a Lady – The Sounds
Kiss every man while you still can, like a lady
And pull your self up and dance til' you drop, I'm your baby, baby
Listen to the songs and learn to sing along, on the radio, radio
Fire in my eyes and boys on my mind, they're mine you know!...
If it feels so good
Then it can't be wrong
2.Bulletproof – La Roux
Been there, done that, messed around
I'm having fun, don't put me down
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet
This time baby I'll be
Bulletproof
Barbara Gordon
3.Dancing Queen – ABBA
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
4.Not Ready to Make Nice – Dixie Chicks
I'm not ready to make nice
I'm not ready to back down
I'm still mad as hell and
I don't have time to go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
5.Bring On The Day – Charlotte Martin
I'm on my way
I'm ok
Cassandra Cain
6.Defying Gravity – Wicked (Lea Michele cover)
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It’s time to trust my instincts
To close my eyes and leap
7.Resistance – Muse (String Vitamin Quartet cover)
instrumental
8.I'm Not Done – Fever Ray
who is the Alpha?
and what is made of cloth?
how do you say you're sorry
and there's nothing to be afraid of...
it ain't over
I'm not done
Stephanie Brown
9.Sixteen – No Doubt
'Cause you're only sixteen
And you're feeling real...
"These children
They're not really bad most of them
They're just products
Of rotten neighborhoods
And bad family situations"
10.Queen of Apology – The Sounds
Now you got me on my knees
This will be the death of me
So sick of this feeling
but it never stops, never stops...
I keep trying
11.Don't Surrender – Joan Jett
You can say "What the hell I've given up”, lay down to die but it's just a bluff
Cause ya know there's no place left to hide
Sometimes life seems like a war an' you're surrounded

Questions to be addressed:
Q: If this is a Batgirl fanmix, why is Barbara so overwhelmingly Oracle-oriented?
A: Because it covers the characters as they are and not just as Batgirl; Steph isn't just Batgirl-oriented either. Because Barbara is a better character – richer, deeper, more complex and unique – as Oracle, with her history as Batgirl part of her but her past, than she is as just Batgirl. Because this is my fanmix and my Babs is Oracle.
Q: Why isn't Helena/Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe/Bette/Nell here?
A: Because none of them were official Batgirls. Bear with me: Bette was Bat-Girl (which makes a difference, as well as the fact that Barbara's Batgirl doesn't pick up on that legacy), Helena was Batman in No Man's Land, Charlotte wanted the name but Babs refused to give it to her so she decided on her Misfit alias, and Nell isn't Batgirl - yet. Alternatively, because it's my fanmix. A B-side about the Other Batgirls would be an awesome idea, though.
Q: How long did you spend on this.
A: This is my life, these are my choices. i.e.: I'd be too embarrassed to tell you.
