Stephanie Brown, comic book superhero appearing in DC Comics. The character first appeared in Detective Comics #647 and was created by Chuck Dixon and Tom Lyle.
The daughter of the criminal Cluemaster, Stephanie originated in 1992 as an amateur crime-fighter called Spoiler. She later served briefly as the fourth Robin, and in 2009, became the fifth Batgirl.
She had been presumably dead but later revealed that it had been faked. She has gone from Spoiler to Robin to Batgirl and back again to Spoiler.
Stephanie tailors a costume for herself, and calls herself The Spoiler due to her attempts to “spoil” her father’s plans. She learns where her father is hiding out, finds out his plans, and leaves clues so that the police and Batman could stop him. Robin (Tim Drake) tracks her down and helps capture Cluemaster. Although she initially wishes to kill her father, Batman convinces her to allow him to be arrested.
Each time Cluemaster escapes or starts some new plan, Stephanie dons her costume again. Eventually, she decides she likes being a superheroine, and she begins regular patrols as the Spoiler. This also brings her into regular contact with Robin, on whom she has a bit of a crush. At first, Robin thinks of her as a pest, but later comes to enjoy her company. He was dating Ariana Dzerchenko at the time. However, he and Stephanie grow closer. Robin soon realizes that his feelings for Stephanie have grown into something more, and, after breaking up with Ariana, he begins dating Stephanie. Unfortunately, because Robin needs to maintain the secrecy of Batman and his allies, Robin is unable to reveal his true identity to Spoiler. At first, she seems happy with this arrangement.
Stephanie then finds out she is pregnant by an ex-boyfriend who had run from Gotham City. Robin moves to Keystone City during the last few months of her pregnancy, but he returns to her when she is giving birth. With Robin’s help, she is able to cope with placing her child up for adoption. Although a painful experience, she feels it best to give her daughter a chance at a better life.
Robin goes to boarding school and meets Star, One night when all three are on patrol Stephanie finds out about Star and thinks Robin is cheating on her and refuses to speak with him. Soon after Robin disappears and Spoiler realizes that she still loves him. Batman asks Spoiler to find Robin and tells her his real name. She later becomes the Forth Robin and later the Fifth Batgirl after she graduates from high school.
I really loved her as Batgirl and wish Barbra would go back to being Oracle…
Stephanie Brown does not need your elitist, arrogant, misogynistic approval.
