So, for Batgirl; I took the same liberties of a lot of other designs in that I took a modern look, and the LEGO Batman Movie look, and kind of made it my own. Although, I will also say the idea of the hooded bat-cape was actually an idea I took inspiration from another artist and his own Batman AU: Raza or @/rxzarx on Twitter (idk if he has a BlueSky). So with that, I went with an impromptu vigilante look, stitched up like Batman and Catwoman, and gave her combat boots and extra pouches, and a Party City looking belt to emphasize how homemade this costume is... while also looking like a costume still. I didn't make this look like a leather jacket kind of suit, so this is still spandex but with the added bits of other around-the-home stuff, it gets the point across! Oh, and since she's the daughter of Jim Gordon, she has her own customized tonfas! But it's not just her police ties that make this Barbara in the weapons; but also her story: Barbara is a social activist, she attends protests, rejects the law sometimes and gets into the precinct more times than her father would wish. As the Batman continues to grow in popularity in the papers and radio, Barbara would be inspired and take up her own nightly escapades to sabotage the corporations and organizations she protests in the day, while still leaving room for the police to enact true justice onto them. Batman is hesitant and at first refuses the help, but Barbara does this out of her own word, not Batman's. Ah Cassandra, my favorite female character in the Bat-Family. She's basically taking her iconic design from the comics, just with a few added bits of detail to fit within the Timeless world. Like the stitching of the seams, the logo, and her mouth area is sewed up like the books. I made her cape two-toned cape idea from Batman: Arkham Shadow, at least on the outside... Though I guess you can consider this a three-toned cape because of the black, gray, and yellow but you get the point. Same stitches apply to make this really put-together batsuit, I even made her high collar different from Bruce & Tim's! And, unintentionally but a really cool detail, if you look at Cass and Bruce's sheets side-by-side, they're almost making the same pose! They're the perfect dynamic duo even in AU form! Standard lore stays the same: Cass is the daughter of Lady Shiva and David Cain but is taken away after David and Shiva have an argument that led to a fight, and their home burning down. Cain would teach Cass to be a cold killer and she would be successful in taking one life and being haunted to the core, eventually faking her death and taking a vow of silence. But after migrating to Gotham in hopes of a lead to find her mother, Cassandra would see the shadow of the Bat and be inspired by his escapades, soon becoming Bruce's true right-hand. So, much like the main DC universe, I have Steph as more of a 'part-time' member rather than a full-on member of the Bat-Family, but I couldn't just have her in her own post, she's gotta rep with the team! And thus, Timeless Spoiler is... Pretty much classic Spoiler. Yeah, her design is just, that good and iconic to where you can really only do your own take on the classic design, or at least how you'd draw it! Black and Purple color scheme, pouches and straps, and the expressive white eyes; like I said: classic! As for lore, for those who read Tim's bio; Steph is the daughter of the headmaster of her private school, as such she gets a lot of privilege and the likes, but she still has a sense of right and wrong even if people just see her as the dumb blonde; Steph was taught the basic essentials from her mother while she learned the arts of pick pocketing and being a sleuth from her father, while never actually using them until she became a vigilante. After she hears about a vigilante prowling the floors of her private school, she makes her own disguise and eventually helps Robin with his sting operation and continues on as 'The Spoiler' for a good while, even if Tim soon becomes an overly protective boyfriend.
