[intrigueing]

It was fridging to put her in, but that doesn't mean taking her out was a good thing. Once you put her in and leave her in and build up such spectacular character development and creativity and unique ideas due to the fact that she's in, taking her out years later is no longer an improvement on her character, it's a cheap handwave. Plenty of awesome stories have come about due to initial blunders and dumb moves that had to be worked around creatively.

The thing is, fridging is terrible as a pattern, not in and of itself. This instance of fridging just so happened, by a stroke of pure luck due to having particularly good writers at the exact right time, to be an incredibly good thing in the specific case of Barbara Gordon. It's still a trope to be avoided like the plague, because we've had way more than enough of it, but that doesn't mean every fictional development that comes about due to fridging (or any other dumb trope) is bad as a result.

(and lol, "fridge" no longer looks like a word to me now...:D)
