B:TAS Barbara Gordon/Batgirl vs. TNBA Version

[Livewire]

I never was into the Batman mythos, but the B:TAS Barbara Gordon/ Batgirl was my favorite character. However, when she came back on TNBA, she was a whole different person.

The B:TAS verion was independant and strong- willed. She wasn't just Batman's sidekick- she could work just as well on her own. The chemistry between her and Dick was better, too.Plus, Melissa Gilbert was perfect as her voice.

The TNBA version was now just part of the Batman team. I found Tara Charendoff's (sp?) voice to be good, but it took a while to get used to her after Gilbet's fine performance. Also, the B:TAS version seemed to be a lot smarter than the TNBA version(imo) :D
I did like the TNBA costume better, though.


Well, what do you think?

Hard to say. I liked the voice and design from TNBA a lot better than the BTAS version. I guess people have a tendency to forget that in TNBA, Barbara's out of college and is a bit older, and I've always taken that into consideration when thinking about potential inconsistencies.

I like the voice in the both series, though perhaps the TNBA one a bit more. But I like the character structure loads more in B:TAS. In TNBA Babs just seems really ditzy and weak and whiny. But that could just be my own opinion. In B:TAS, she was a lot more self determined, strong willed and ready to prove herself. Both designs were good, I like her costume in both versions, perhaps guys like the TNBA one more though,lol.

Sorry, but being the BIG B5 fan (look @ the avatar) I have to say that I prefer Melisa Gilbert (Bruce Boxletinger's wife...both on & off the show) as BatGal.

I'm not sure which outfit I prefered...
