Batgirl :: What Am I Doing Here?

In a Green Arrow backup story of World's Finest #255, Clark Kent is covering the elections for Mayor in Star City. One of the candidates is Green Arrow himself, or rather, his secret identity Olliver Queen. And who does Ollie get to back him up and endorse him during the campaign? His colleagues in the super hero community; here we have the exiting mayor of Star city accompanied by Supergirl, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Atom, Black Canary, Flash, Robin, and Batgirl.

Now, Batgirl and Supergirl are not good enough to be part of the Justice League, but they are good enough to ask for their collaboration in these events? That's not fair! Don't you hate it when your co-workers come to sell you those girl scout cookies, and tupperware, and tickets for raffles to help their children's schools? I can't imagine these heroes not rolling their eyes when Green Arrow asked them to participate in this little rally. Poor Batgirl... how cheap she must feel!

Happy New Year!
All the best for 2010!
Before Batgirl became Oracle... before Oracle and Black Canary became Birds of Prey, in first genuine team-up between Supergirl and Batgirl in Superman Family #171 (June-July 1975) entitled "Cleopatra, Queen of America", Batgirl met Black Canary when the Justice League of America were guest stars.
