My biggest comic pet peeve might be whenever they try to insinuate that Barbara being Batgirl had any bearing on the events of The Killing Joke.
#*banging pots and pans together*#SHE WAS SHOT BECAUSE SHE WAS JAMES GORDON'S DAUGHTER#LITERALLY THE POINT IS THAT SHE WAS SHOT AS A MEANS TO GET TO HIM#IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED REGARDLESS IF SHE WAS BATGIRL OR NOT#(which for the record she actually wasn't at the time)#THE JOKER DOES NOT KNOW NOR DOES HE GIVE A FUCK ABOUT BATGIRL'S REAL IDENTITY#(which again she had already quiet she wasn't even Batgirl anymore)#I just think they need to let her accept that it literally had nothing to do with her#it was not a consequence of her actions in any way#and then let her be so incredibly angry about that#(also we need to stop pretending that The Joker cares about Batgirl as anything more than a way to get to Batman)#(he has a little bit of a special interest in Robins because of Jason#but he shouldn't know he had anything to do with the first batgirl quieting given... he didn't have anything to do with it)#the killing joke#barbara gordon#oracle#batgirl i#the joker#tkj#i read comics#batfam#batfamily#identity crisis is the series that sparked this post#but they do it all the time and it always makes me angry
