Shoutout to Batgirl(s) for their portrayal of characters with disabilities and their varied use of mobility aids! Ft. Barbara Gordon and Frankie Charles.

Batgirls #1, #4, and #12

Batgirl (2011) #37 and Black Canary (2015) #10

Batgirl (2016) #4

And, keep in mind, there are plenty of issues in between with Babs and Frankie not using their mobility aids as well! With chronic illnesses, injuries, etc. it is extremely realistic to be 'fine' one day, but be reliant on mobility aids another due to various factors. I think these are the only (?) comics I've read that have captured this aspect of disabilities rather than treating them as linear progressions of becoming either better or worse, or as completely static conditions.

Nightwing #113 is also the 300th issue of Nightwing. Interestingly, it’s not an oversized issue, but DC does promise something special:

Since the 1940’s, you’ve seen him go from acrobat to orphan; from Dick Grayson to Robin; from Robin to Nightwing. You’ve seen him work alongside the universe’s most powerful heroes, against existence’s most sinister villains. You have seen Dick Grayson do so many things, but now, in his 300th issue, you will see him…well, you’ll just have to pick up the issue and find out. Join us for this legacy 300 milestone!

The issue is written by Tom Taylor with art by a plethora of artists, along with a back-up tale by Michael Conrad and Howard Porter, and another brilliant cover by Bruno Redondo.

One year ago we got Batgirls #14 and my mind still thinks about the issue. Conrad, Cloonan, and Case delivered something truly special.

Michael W. Conrad's Gray Son back-up story would be such a good little arc if it weren't crammed into two back-ups. Incredible how stories pretty much used as storybording show more potential than Taylor's entire run has had.
