Stephanie Brown, how we miss you! Many fans fell for Stephanie as she grew and matured, inhabiting the roles of Spoiler, Robin IV, and Batgirl III. Since the launch of DC's New 52 initiative, Stephanie Brown's only appearance has been in
Batman, Incorporated: Leviathan Strikes!, and that issue was explicitly stated to have taken place pre-New 52. With Stephanie out of the picture for now -- it
is comics, so never say never, right? -- we asked readers to send in their Stephanie Brown fan art, depicting her in any of her identities. Here's what we got.

Editor's Note: Michelle sent me so much stuff, and all of it was fantastic. Some of it fit more into the redesign/re-imagining category, and so I didn't post it here, but you really should check out her deviantArt page for her Neo-Victorian Spoiler, Robin and Batgirl versions of Stephanie, her future Stephanie, Tiny Titans Steph, and loads more!
There it is! Thanks to everyone who participated. While we generally focus on redesigns, it's fun to see artists take on established designs with their own styles.
Readers! What do you think? Did you enjoy this little break from the norm? Would you like to see more Fan Art Specials? It wouldn't be something we'd do all the time, maybe twice a year; for example, we might do a Fan Art Special in lieu of an "anything goes" redesign month if we did another contest spanning two months, like we did for the
Avengers contest earlier this year. Sound off in the comments and let us know what you think!
