Some people like Batgirl Some people like the new look Batgirl But some people prefer Barbara Gordon the way she was before the New 52 relaunch. Daughter of Jim Gordon, crippled by the Joker, using a wheelchair, and operating as Oracle, working with the Birds Of Prey as a technological overseer and occasionally getting down and[...]

Today, Morrison's frequent collaborator Cameron Stewart helped kick off the trend with a reinvention of Batgirl that seems to honor that prediction It's glamorous, funny, and perhaps a bit too self-conscious of what it's setting out to do at times but the "Batgirl of Burnside" era seems to be spawning imitators while also being part[...]

At Thought Bubble, the Batgirl creative team talked about how, die to internal DC politics, they weren't able to relaunch Batgirl with a new issue 1 when they joined the book But how this might happen with the trade collections.

In recent years, Gail Simone writing Batgirl presented a transgender character, Alysia Yeoh, as Batgirl/Barbara Gordon's flatmate, her backstory emerging over time It was a considered, underhyped portrayal of a transgender individual as a very normal person in Batgirl's life. In this week's Batgirl, (SPOILERS) we meet someone who is running around Burnside dressed up as[...]

Could this be the start of a new franchse? Very, very ossibly.
