Do you think does it deserve the name "Batgirl" ?

Hi guys !

Yesterday i was reading a topic here and some people talking about the Jubilee BLNR as "BATGIRL" ...

The Jubilee Pepsi is magnificent but if we are talking about the Batman , for me the original BATMAN is the Oyster BLNR which i believe looks more beautiful then the Jubilee BLNR ...

My question is ;

The new Jubilee BLNR deserves the name "BATGIRL" as some people already calling her ?

Dont think any AD will accept to acknowledge that nickname if you come in and ask for the Batgirl.

It'll be Batman on jubilee or as some others have suggested, the dark knight. However, AP already has a Dark Knight watch (the upgraded vampire)

No! Who on God's green earth decided the Jubilee bracelet was for girls? Does anyone even know Batgirl? 'Hey, nice Batgirl.' - Yeah good luck.

How about "Batwoman", instead of "Batgirl"?

Incidentally, there'll be a new TV show, "Batwoman".

Stupid.

What next Pepsigirl?

Pepsi has been Pepsi no matter the changes that happen along the way.

Just keep calling it Batman.

nickname can't be given by voting, nor can it be taken away.

I am afraid it is the latter this time. Batgirl or Batwoman has already been quite popular in the net.

frankly i don’t get the assigning of genders to these bracelets at all. the jubilee is no more and no less masculine than the oyster, it’s just different. men and women wear them interchangeably and always have.

I think in recognition of the latest trends in gender fluidity (at least in the USA) we should start referring to it as "Batperson".

Or maybe, "BatThey".

I dislike most of the nicknames, especially Batman although I think Hulk is kind of cute. In that vein, I find "batgirl" to be humorous and so I have voted yes on that.

Worst nickname I’ve ever heard. People think it becomes the girl when adding Jubilee for some reason. Prices are insane. Anyone who thinks these are worth 2x the price of a Submariner is off their rocker

The question is why a feminine name is deemed to be perjorative? Dinosaurs live.
