[The feed flicks on, revealing a young, blond woman, chilling in some hallway in a...bat-costume? She's grinning pretty widely for someone who's supposed to be dark as the (k)night.]
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's—[dramatic pause]—sure as hell a giant, creepy spaceship because Superman you ain't. [She sighs, grin disappearing in favor of a more deadpan expression.]
So, hey, I'm new, but let's skip the mental breakdowns, freak outs, where is "x", have you seen my "y," I am scared, blah blah, wah wah, yadda yadda, etcetera, ad naseum [dismissive wave] and go straight to introductions and pleasantries.
Hey, space people. I'm Batgirl. The real deal, even — see, I come fully equipped with Batarangs, witty retorts, and everything. Yeah, yeah, I've snooped through the network. Done a little detecting, as they say. I've heard rumors of comics and fourthwalls; don't worry. If I'm fictional where you're from, then I will be available for autographs upon request. The one thing I ask of you is pretty please: no spoilers. I happen to like surprises.
Anyway, I also like coffee and waffles, especially in delicious conjunction, rooftop tag, crime fighting, and, of course, justice.
I'm sure you've seen my spooky boss-man's pseudo-vandalism, but I figured I should put the word out in my own way: call me, beep me, if you want to text me; that's a-okay. I'll be there whenever you need me, as cheesy as that sounds. It's part of the super-gig. You can ask questions and/or heckle now, I guess. Do whatever floats your boat. I'll be here aaaaaaall week.

I could probably make an actually compelling argument, but why bother? You went through all the trouble to get the costume and make your cute little speech already.
[Yeah, Hammer. The teenager is rude. You're condescending and obnoxious.]

What. Really. Okay, hold on. He wasn't prepared for that. He has been smacked around and generally sneered at since arriving her FOR GOOD REASON, but like he'd admit that, so someone actually wanting his opinion knocks him off-balance.]
It's just kinda flashy, isn't it? I-I get the mask. It's got this Zorro appeal and you're not being Tony Stark about it, but I've seen the security team. They're probably hardened soldiers or cops or something. You don't see them wearing masks and capes.

Which is why the boss and I aren't joining up.

[Welcome to cheerful deadpans r us. Are cheerful deadpans even a thing? THEY ARE WHEN HAMMER DOES THEM. He could patent them. Make more money, but that's not the point.]
And you think that's gonna work out for you on a really teensy- well, not teensy. It's... Probably about the size of Rhode Island, but the point is, what? You get the bad guys on this half of the ship, the other guys get the bad guys on that side. What are you going for here? I got nothing.
