Barbara Gordon rebooted

Today I talked about Barbara Gordon and her role as both the first Batgirl and Oracle. Barbara has consistently been one of the best examples of a strong positive female and disabled person in comics. However with the reboot Barbara has been restored to her walking self and her position as Batgirl. This has created a lot of controversy regarding the decision as an attempt to rob comic readers of this positive portrayal of women and the disabled. Also this comic by The Gutters goes along with it.
