13 Times Batgirl Was Every Brooklyn Hipster
Bargirl is known for fighting crime at night and being a total smarty-pants by day, but ever since the rad makeover she got thanks to DC Comics, her experience has been much different from the rest of the grimdark Bat-family. Now she lives in the trendy neighborhood of Burnside, which is CLEARLY meant to be the Brooklyn to Gotham's Manhattan. Seriously, it's even across a bridge.
Now that Barbara's become a part of the cool crowd, though, it's even easier to relate to her as a character -- odds are that even if you don't live in Brooklyn exactly, you've definitely done a lot of the things that she's done in recent issues of the comic.
She parties hard...
Superheroes deserve a night off too, y'know.
...maybe too hard that one time...
To be fair, bats are nocturnal, so it's totally cool for her to be sleeping in so late.
...and hooked up with a guy she didn't remember.
It's cool, he slept on the couch.
Then she fixed her hangover with locally-brewed coffee.
(Bonus, check out Sailor Moon in the background there!)
She dates online...
Using a dating app, even!
...and of course, it's messy sometimes.
What's the proper protocol for telling the guy you went out that he's totally dissing your second job without realizing it?
Her friend group is pretty diverse.
Surprise! Despite what you might pick up from watching "Girls," the world of 20-something city dwellers isn't all full of white people.
At least one of those friends has a d--k pic story, because, duh.
Although that's not really a hipster thing -- almost every woman has one of those.
She gets her fair share of Internet hate...
Seriously, guys. Get over using the term "hipster" as an insult.
...and deals with super pretentious people.
Dude, it's anime. You know what she was talking about. Get over yourself.
She can't afford a new wardrobe...
What, you can't hit Bruce Wayne up for some cash?
...so she makes her OWN clothes.
Okay, her own SUPERHERO costume. But still.
Most importantly? She got her own Instagram account.
