    The “door”(which is an open doorway with no actual door for some reason) is actually directly behind Batgirl, the darker bit in the bottom-left is the inside edge of the doorway, which is clearer in the full page since this panel actually extends down further behind the next few smaller panels.
    What appears to be the door at the top of the panel is I guess just a weird wall-design, while the rod is actually the shower curtain pole, which is just sticking straight out of the wall with no anchor point on this side for some reason (this also means the curtain 100% only covers one side, even _if_ it looked long enough).
    The floor is probably just a weird pattern on the flooring, as opposed to a rug, considering the inner-most rectangle is the same color and texture as the outer edge, so unless it’s a frame-shaped rug or one with a center that perfectly matches the actual bathroom floor…
    Also the reason it’s so big is because this is actually the bathroom of a penthouse apartment of the hacker dude pretending to be Oracle that Batgirl and the Birds of Prey were dealing with in that comic.
    Still lots of problems like the plunger sitting on the floor and the aforementioned curtain and terrible aesthetic, but some of the major issues aren’t as much of a problem in context.

    That bathroom is massive. O.O
    Also I recon they drew the plumbing first, then the doodads, then the rug, and only then noticed there was no door so they slapped it in the only "clear" space of wall.

    It's not just the bathtub... How did the toilet get on top of the rug?

      The more you look at it, the more incorrect things you spit. Lol!

    I don't believe that digital apps have helped any to be honest. Back in the day, an artist had to be able to draw and ink by hand, end of. You know, they had to be talented and dedicated. They had to be able to handle an ink brush and couldn't rely on tracing around 3D models in Clip Studio etc. A lot of people who have entered the industry I don't believe would've made the grade back then, and while technology helps practically anyone to produce superficially impressive, slick results, it can't replace that magic X factor which resides in the hand of a living, talented human artist. I think if the studios banned their artists from using tech initially it would weed out a lot of the lazy, mediocre dead wood.

    Amazing Art : 85%
    Interesting Story : 15%
    That's my humble opinion. I own comics that have very basic, dull storylines but I love the comic because the art is so charming and cool.
    That's why I can only hunt thru back issue bins nowadays

      Good call. Good art in comics is becoming rarer and rarer.

    Is it just me, or does that bathroom like like it was generated by one of those AI art packages?
    It's littered with elements that you might find in a bathroom, butt he layout is off. It's not just the door, it's everything. For example, you wouldn't put a toilet in that location because of how the water pipes would be. It's why most bathrooms have sinks baths and toilets grouped together. For the plumbing.
    This bathroom was designed by someone who hasn't used one before.

    Door is in bottom right hand corner. Don't know what the blue thing between tub and toilet is? Maybe a window?

      It's got a bolt latch on it though. I've only ever seen those on doors.

      Plus her bathroom rug is somehow UNDER the toilet and the tub

    I still don’t understand where’s the context to this actual picture.

    I wonder how many people can actually draw? Doesn't it take years of dedicated work and being criticised, ideas which don't seem to fit the millennial mindset!

    Babs lives in an M.S. Escher designed bathroom
    Cover art vs interior art
    The cover looks ten times better
    Interior. Uh yikes
