Barbara Gordons headboard

Post by Hoos The Bat »

Hope everybody is having a great day! I was just rewatching The Unkindest Tut of All and noticed something kind of fun. It looks like in the headboard of Barbara Gordon’s bed there are 2 bat symbols (kind of), I know this is probably old news to most of you guys but I thought it was kind of funny, one of the little clues linking Barbara to Batgirl!

Welcome to our board! That's a pretty cool observation, not sure whether i've personally clocked that before! Thanks for sharing.

Here's the shot Hoos The Bat mentioned:

Great find! In a similar vein, I noticed in Wail of The Siren that on the bookcase in Barbara's apartment, there appears to be a ceramic penguin above the lamp on the bookshelf. A leftover gift from the wedding of the century that never was??? :lol:

Wracking my brain to try and recall a better view from another episode, but this is the bookshelf in question:

and an elongated turquoise blue cat statue in her first episode, but maybe that looks like a duck? But it still quacks!

The blue thing looks like a hippo, and I spy a colorful snail too.

Snap! I was totally oblivious to this. One thing I’ve always thought the series could have done better is Batgirls ‘lair’ as in the side behind the revolving wall. As already alluded to in this thread how detailed Barbara’s apartment is, the crimefighting secret side is pretty bare and in fact never explored in the series. It would have been cool if Batgirl had some kind of ‘Bat-Computer’ of her own or some new gadgets etc..

I mean, her hideout has actual walls at least... that mercy cannot be said for a lot of that season...
