Batgirl's lawyers, those teeming masses yearning to be litigation-free, have advised Batgirl to make the following disclaimer:

batgirl (n)  pl: batgirls a young female who takes care of a team's baseball bats and other equipment.

Batgirl, the blog, refers to the noun defined above, rather than the caped crimefighter trademarked, copyrighted, and vigorously protected by the good citizens at D.C. Comics.  Batgirl, the blog, and Batgirl, the blogger, expressly disclaim any relationship to D.C. Comics or the D.C. comics character, even though they are all wonderful people and the D.C. comics character herself fights crime. Not civil violations like copyright infringement, but way serious crime, and that makes the world a better place. Besides, nocturnal flying mammals of the order Chiroptera, having membranous wings that extend from the forelimbs to the hindlimbs or tail---not to mention anatomical adaptations for echolocation---expressly gross Batgirl out.  Batgirl is associated with the stout wooden cudgels, wider and heavier at the hitting end, used by the Minnesota Twins to smack the crap out of American League pitching. Or at least they try really, really hard. Just like Batgirl. Batgirl is not associated with Major League Baseball or the Major League Baseball Players Association. She is also not associated with the Minnesota Twins---although, you know, she's totally available.
