I went on a little icon making spree a while back, thanks to an ever-so-pretty Batgirl comic, guest starring Spoiler. Spoiler was a very cool female character who was Robin for a little while, before getting tortured to death and belitted by Batman and generally ignored because everyone knows female characters don't deserve the same respect as male. Batgirl was also a very cool female character, who has been shoe-horned into being evil with complete disregard to previously established facts and canon because why read a very well written and illustrated comic about a kickass female character when we can make shit up?

Little bit angry. Not much. Honest.

So I made some icons. Unfortunately, I'm terrible at the witty caption thing. Most of these want something, I think. So, little help?

ETA: two more icons, inspired by shy_dramaqueen. Lookie, I worked out how to outline text!

1. 2. 3.
(and my one attempt at adding caption)
4.

5. 6.


Also, some other icons I've made. Many of which I've posted before, but I can't remember which.


1. 2. 3. 4.
5. 6. 7. 8.
9. 10.


1. Quote from The Secret Policeman's Ball (the second one, I think).
2. Quote from Joni Mitchell's Carey.
3. Quote and image from 'The Young Ones'.
4. Last Year's attempt at a festive icon. Sorry.
5. Detective from the Animatrix, quote from a Queen song (it'll take me far too long to find out which, sorry).
6. Image from Weiss Kreuzz Gluhen.
7. Image from The Authority (base credit to Sairobi), that Queen song again.
8. Hey, look, I really liked that song.
9. Image from Arbowin's comic Grayling, which is brilliant, but sooooo long.
10. Image from Teen Titans. Quote from 'Fire in the Rain'.


Comment and Credit if you take anything, please ^_^ Feel free to edit textless icons, but please credit the base.

I'm trying to think of something akin to an icon I saw with Inara and Kaylee from Firefly, both of whom couldn't get their men during the series because they were too busy being... well, men. I.e. blind. The icon says: "We're tired of waiting, we're lesbians now" or something. Maybe something like that, aimed at the writers who wouldn't let Batgirl and Spoiler kick ass?

Or, for #1: "I hear Whedon is casting Wonderwoman. Let's get out of here."

Something like "Bored now, let's be lesbians!"?

I might go hunting for a slightly happier image to use that on. The distressed look they seem to be wearing in most of the icons might undermine the message a little. I like your suggest for 1. too.
