'YES, Mr. Hagen...'

Having watched the episode after many years, I decided I could make an analysis of how not only was Annie a towering icon of sacrifice, but of a character who, in the eyes of many, was wasted (for arguably obvious reasons) as one of the characters that could be one of the most evolved and, if not, one of the most powerful members of the bat family. looking closely, IF Annie's case was successfully resolved in this episode or she returns in some series or comic book as a member welcomed by Batman and Robin (in this case Tim Drake), her abilities as a meta-human in conjunction with the abilities and Wayne's training and with the synthesis of knowing how and where to fight strategically, we would have in the series or in future projects one of the most powerful members than many villains and even members of the bat group.

I can mention some works such as, for example, the series itself where Clayface fights whose, little by little, properties make him versatile and a potential threat and, being no different from Annie in question, being able to use such skills naturally. Other points beyond this can be found in other animations such as Batman Unlimited Monster Mayhem from 2015, where he does the same tactics, however, having a much wider range of proficiencies and capabilities, and can even change his elemental structure to be a potential threat ( exploring the character at one point, which, for Annie, would be another decoy in her skills).

Another more assertive work in hand-to-hand combat and exploring body transmutation involves another character with similar concepts, this being Inque, from Batman Beyond, where the villain also uses more creative and surprising means to be a risk against Terry McGinnis, putting yet another degree of dangerousness that, if Annie were on a scale to use such concepts, would be a degree higher in many aspects of fighting.

In short, Annie has a captivating aura and, without discarding the side where she sacrifices herself for Robin, showing a unique atruism to show her good side, she hiddenly shows colossal potential so that, if she returns and is one of the adopted from Wayne, she would have an absurd margin of having a potential for immersion and narrative challenges that would easily overcome many obstacles and, from this perspective, one of the possible heroines (or characters of another alignment) with more capabilities within the Batman universe. Not anymore, I hope she returns one day for this to happen, until then, I will at least wait to see how events unfold and wait so that, who knows, some screenwriter or interested parties can unearth this character (as many were, in the case of comics), so that she has her chance to gain space and bring more scenes to her story
