But why? I am genuinely curious. Is because you just don't much care for Barbara Gordon, or you never liked her Oracle persona, or because it's hard to make a statue have sex appeal when the girl is in a wheelchair? Ultimately it's your opinion, so it's as valid as anyone else's, I'm just trying to dig into a little bit more, especially with a Professor X comment, who is also a well-loved, but wheelchair-bound character. Are people just burned out on Barbara Gordon statues in general? Or is it just a drag to have a statue of a person in a wheelchair? I mean, if none of those characters has ever resonated with you strongly enough to want a Statue of them, that is a completely valid answer, of course.
I think most people prefer Barbara Gordon - Oracle to Barbara Gordon - Batgirl, as a character. The DC Universe went something like 20 years without Barbara Gordon as Batgirl, and I distinctly remember that most people at the time of the New 52 launch were quite peeved that Barbara Gordon was suddenly Batgirl again. Is she just that much more likeable as Batgirl? Or is it because Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown were just weaker versions of the character?
Open to discussion, this is interesting.
