I really feel the need to put Barbara Gordon as Batgirl is the same mindset that made Hal Jordan Green Lantern and Berry Allen as Flash. we're all just moving back to the 1980's as is no progress was ever made. Her decision to retake her costume to me is her taking a step backward. She's no longer evolving into a new person, she's devolving back into the role that she had forsaken. I have no problem with Barbara walking again, I simply think she should find a new identity to define herself that combines all her experiences as Oracle, Barbara and Batgirl. It simply doesn't seem logical. Course, now that Birds of Prey no longer exists, and many factors that made her who she became seem to have been written out of history, who knows. Maybe she never became this new person in the first place.
On a personal note. I have to say, I think her in a wheel chair is an inspiration to many people about overcoming one's own physical limitations. Allowing her to walk again simply seems like a cheap way out.
