Most people only know Batgirl as Alicia Silverstone in the Razzie award winning Batman & Robin, but a group of comic book fans have dedicated themselves to creating a series bringing some much deserved attention to the character, who is often considered one of the hidden gems of the DC Universe. Batgirl: Spoiled revolves around around the action that seeks out and is sought after by Stephanie Brown, the latest character to take up the mantle of the Batperson-without-a-Y-chromosome with a unique origin story that has made her a cult figure in the comic community. ?She was her own woman as Spoiler, then she was the only main continuity female Robin, and then she was Batgirl,? said Sax Carr, a loyal comic fan that is the writer/producer of Batgirl: Spoiled. ?You don?t get a pedigree better than that.? Most people might be shocked to hear that there was a female Robin, but it?s those kind of details that prove the creators know their stuff. While Brown might not be the most recognizable comic character, her similarities to another pop culture icon will help introduce her to a new audience. ?We think of her like the Buffy the Vampire Slayer of the DCU,? Carr added. "She?s such a driven character, so headstrong and opinionated, but largely she?s caught up in a universe that?s given her everything but control of her own life.?
