He's been blogging some unused pitches which reminded me of this oddity. About 9 years ago C.B. Cebulski was pitching an Elseworlds book to D.C. with a cute Japanese Batgirl. I did some charcter designs for it and it duly sank without trace. I might even have done some sample pages. Anyhoo a couple of years later we tried again and I updated the designs to be a bit more Murakami. Again it struck out but I liked the designs shown here.

Ivy and Batgirl are quite cute. It's too bad DC never bit.

No, see, you guys were being hip. You should have done her like she was Tarzan or something else totally outdated that they would have understood.

i can see the DC execs looking at you, shaking their heads, and saying, "Sorry, Mr. Watson, but Batgirl's boobs are too small. She needs to float."

Jamie was inspired mostly by yours:

actually, they just had a girl named stephanie become robin, but i think she died? with little emotional impact on readers? and her costume was pretty much just the regular modern robin suit. Ah here we go:

Everyone loves Batgirl!

It's a shame there's no room for a fun, cute Batgirl story with a beginning, middle, and end in this Rape/Crisis world.
