Besides, it's demeaning and ableist to see paraplegia merely as a "tragedy," as if it's some incurable horror or the end of someone's life. It's an adaptation. It's a traumatic and life-changing event, but one that can be adjusted to and incorporated into one's life. When Barbara was Oracle, she became a powerful and rare example of positive representation for people with disabilities, because her disability wasn't reduced to a mere "tragedy" but was simply part of her identity, her life. Good grief, the entire Batman saga is about how people cope positively with tragic events. Bruce and Dick turned the murders of their parents into a catalyst for becoming heroes and protectors. For a Bat-family character, tragedy should be a motivator, not a defeat.
