Lethal warriors are out to take her down, each bearing the mysterious mark of "The Student." And where there are Students, there must also be.a Teacher.Īs part of the epic Rebirth launch, BATGIRL VOL. When Babs plans a trip to train with the greatest fighters in the Far East, she has no idea her vigilante life will follow her.
And when those threats come calling, Batgirl will answer!
But some threats are bigger than Burnside. 1: BEYOND BURNSIDE.īarbara Gordon's heart belongs to Burnside, the ultra-hip Gotham City neighborhood. New York Times best-selling creators Hope Larson ( A Wrinkle in Time ) and Rafael Albuquerque ( American Vampire ) take one of Gotham's greatest heroes on a whirlwind world tour in BATGIRL VOL. The inclusion of many of these meetings and melodrama this time around means Tarr gets plenty of opportunities to show off her skills as not just an artist, but also as an “actor,” as she does a remarkable job on the various characters’ expressions and reactions to the situations they are faced with.Spinning out of DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH comes the newest adventures of Batgirl in BATGIRL VOL. It is, essentially, more of the same, but in this particular case, that’s great news, given how great Batgirl‘s “the same” is. That’s followed by the over-sized annual, in which five guest artists all draw chapters of a Batgirl adventure in which she teams-up with the stars of Grayson and Gotham Academy and fellow female vigilantes Spoiler and Batwoman.Īnd in the final, three-part story, she starts dating Luke Fox (son of Lucius Fox and the semi-retired vigilante Batwing) and has a very unexpected reunion with Dick Grayson, all while fighting a tiger-themed supervillain andtrying to plan the wedding of one of her best friends. In the pages of Batman, the title character was presumed dead, so his old ally (and Barbara’s dad) Commissioner James Gordon donned a robot battle suit to become the new Batman, and in the first, two-issue story within, Barbara and he meet in and out of costume. If the first volume was all about staking out new territory and divorcing the character from the extended Batman family milieu, this volume is devoted to demonstrating how this new take on Batgirl operates within the world of Batman, as, coincidentally or not, the comics collected herein are chock full of guest stars from all over Gotham City. 1: The Batgirl of Burnside, and the second volume of the series, Family Business, continues what is, at this point, probably more of a restoration than a recreation. The creative team’s recreation of Batgirl Barbara Gordon was collected in Batgirl Vol.
