Stephanie Brown
Biography
Stephanie Brown is a superheroine appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, most commonly in association with the superhero Batman. The character first appeared in Detective Comics #647 (June 1992), and was created by Chuck Dixon and Tom Lyle. The character originated as the amateur crime-fighter Spoiler, who had taken it upon herself to foil her criminal father Cluemaster's schemes. Establishing herself as a Gotham vigilante, she would have a short, unsuccessful stint as the fourth incarnation of Batman's partner and sidekick Robin in the early 2000s, replacing her longtime love interest Tim Drake. Her time as Robin is plagued with struggles and dissensions with Batman, who eventually fires her shortly before her death at the hands of Black Mask. She is later revealed to have survived and returns as Spoiler, resuming her romantic relationship with Drake. In 2009, Cassandra Cain, the latest Batgirl, entrusts the costume and moniker to Brown; although she is initially reluctant due to Brown's disastrous spell as Robin, former Batgirl Barbara Gordon later takes Brown as a pupil, and the character's run as Batgirl largely redeems her, including in Batman's eyes. After DC's continuity reboot in 2011, Brown is re-introduced as Spoiler in Batman Eternal in 2014, developing into a morally grey character that openly denounces Batman while resuming a complex romantic relationship with Drake. During the 2020 "The Joker War" storyline, Gordon, the sole Batgirl of the new continuity at that point, shares the moniker with both Brown and Cain to form a trio of Batgirls who were later featured in their own comic book series, Batgirls; in this continuity, Brown's costume is a mix of her old Batgirl costume and Spoiler's. Brown remains the sole mainline female Robin, and the only person to have been both Robin and Batgirl, the superhero monikers commonly considered Batman's two closest allies. In other media, Brown was portrayed by Morgan Kohan in a 2021 episode of t
