Waffles For Stephanie (Brown)

Dave2099 · June 2012

Hey, if it worked for Spider-Girl! Though... I would encourage putting the waffle in a baggie or something... if its raining or damp, that's going to be gross for the poor delivery guy.

Hasnt it already been confirmed that Stephanie is coming back in something...

there it is:

Smallville Season 11 #5

maybe a big uptick in the pre-orders next month of Smallville #5 will make DC take notice more than waffles?

Dave2099 · June 2012

I'd heard about that... is she the chick Robin I saw in that teaser image? *googling...*

Nightwing!? Interesting!

Disappointing and confusing.

Grrrrrrrrr. I really think DC's new slogan ought to be "Look, you'll take what we give you and like it, or else."

I confess, I'm not much a Stephanie Brown aficionado, but I do have a soft spot for waffles
(as does my waistline).

Oh, what the heck.

DoctorDoom · July 2012

Delicious.

JaxUr · July 2012

As someone who has never read the character, I have to ask what is the reason for her appeal How is she different/better than Babs?

Modern_Lover · July 2012

I think it's A) Because she's the most recent one, and that they connect with her more because of that, and B) Because her series was well written and fun in the very dark recent DCU. C) Stephanie is a lot younger than Babs, and less experienced, which leaves more potential for character development. D) The more female characters the better, and E) F'ing waffles, and Draculas. I think it's pretty self explanatory.

Sweet syrup and melted butter.

That's hilarious in its own right, but that "Bacon Beneath" co-feature was just a beautiful extra touch! Mind if I steal that for the Batgirl binding I'm working on?

For me, its the legacy hero aspect. Same reason I loved the pre-New 52 Red Robin series, the pre-New 52 Kyle Rayner series, and all the torch-carriers since & before Crisis. I just don't dig on a Universe where potential is never achieved. Stephanie had nothing but!

Modern Lover pretty much nailed it. It was a really well-written (and well-drawn) series that showcased a character that for the longest time was a beloved (evidenced by all this outpouring of fandom for her) but decidedly background character who "finally made the big time" and got her own title and was taking center stage. In many ways her book did a good job of giving us a DC version of Spider-Man, where Steph juggled college, keeping her identity a secret, forging friendships and making enemies along the way...

Like Dave2099 said...potential? She had it...but it got swept under the carpet. The only "real" casualty of the whole New52 reboot, imho...

Knock yourself out.

Sweet. Did you do the lettering by hand, or is that a font I can find somewhere?

That's probably what it's been all along.

I used freely available fonts, almost all of which can be obtained through Fontspace. The word "bacon" was created by repositioning some of the original letters in the word "beast". The letters "C", "O", and "N' were created using a font called "AB Fangs". I also hand drew over a few of the letters in order to give them the illusion that they were from the same typeset as the letters "B" and the "A". I wasn't sure what font DC used to create the word "Detective". It may be a custom font or possibly not even a font at all. For my purposes, something similar would suffice. A font called, "SF Electrotome" was a fairly close match, so I used it to for the word "Deceptive". The letter "V" was a glaring mismatch, so for that lone letter, I used a font called "Return to Castle". For the sidewise oriented text, "Waffle Crimes", I went with a font called "D3 Egoistism". Like the font used for the word "Deceptive", it wasn't a perfect match, but it was similar enough for my purposes. The same is true of "Limelight", the art Deco font used to create the "BatGirl" text. About the only font I didn't download from FontSpace was the Hiragino Kaki Gothic std. font, which was used to create the "Parody by F2B" text. That font was already installed on my Mac. As you can see by this side-by-side comparison. The substitute fonts aren't perfect matches, but they're very similar.

Howdy, Stranger!
