By Christine Marie Vinciquarra When I woke up on Wednesday morning I was a little sad, knowing that Gail Simone's last issue of Batgirl was coming out I had been anticipating reading it, but was overwhelmed with concern because the New 52 Batgirl started my love for comics (Yes, I'm one of those people.) I'll never[...]

One of the many things the Batgirl comic, under Gail Simone, accomplished was the emergence of a regular transgender character in a mainstream superhero comic No superpowers, just a life But what future for Alysia in Batgirl now that Gail Simone has left? Well, we assured that the character would still be around, just no[...]

When DC Comics relaunched their line as the New 52 in 2011, the fact that the maintay character of Barbara Gordon was no longer to be Oracle, the wheelchair bound informational guru, architect and archivist of Birds Of Prey but back in the Batgirl suit, irked many fans But they were placated by lieu of previous[...]

Also it's easier to wash the blood out. If this were anywhere but Batgirl, there would be no other way to interpret this scene, even if, fishnets aside, these ladies dress more conservatively than they used to Confusion on the streets of Gotham reigns… Spread, debuting from Image today gives us another runarond with Lone Wolf And Cub… [...]

Hughes also showed one of the other designs he had turned in for Batgirl and that is what made me want to do this post My guess is this one wasn't rejected because it strayed too far away from the definition of bust. Back in about 2000 I started writing for a website called the[...]

And to be fair, no one wants their fist caught in his nasal passages, do they? Maybe its' a thing. Batgirl may have faced many challenges in her career, but nothing probably prepares you for walking in on your flatmate getting in on while you've been out beating up folk Though the "sock on the doorknob"[...]

Has the super soldier serum worn off? Batgirl teaches us a very valuable lesson when facing a supervillain Always mention the monkeys. From Justice League United #1 … is it me or is this the closest we've had to the golden years of Giffen/DeMatteis for years? Although there are other comics that can challenge that, such as Teenage[...]

For comic coming out in June, here are fifteen of the variant covers, created by Ant Lucia, that accompany a number of DC Comics titles...

What parental love shown… Touched a nerve there I think, in Batgirl Annual however Bane has his own take in Batman Vs Bane. Those Batfolk don't have a lot of luck with mummies and daddies, do they? Even Stephanie Brown has problems in Batman Eternal. This is your Stephanie Brown watch of the week[...]

I mean he's always had a fractious relationship with Batwoman… from today's issue… But also, it seems Batgirl is getting in on the act too, from Batman Eternal #3. Could this count as domestic abuse of some sort I mean, he's spitting blood each time Maybe it's about time Batman sought some kind of help… Batman Eternal, Batwoman[...]

The Comic Arts Conference hosted Gail Simone on Saturday at Wondercon for a Spotlight panel, and specifically focused on asking her more career-embracing questions rather than just news about her work on Batgirl. Travis Langley moderated the Q& A with Simone that took her right back to her beginnings and presented a wide range of topics[...]

First the Court Of The Owls nursery rhyme, then a police recruitment poster that would scare anyone into hating the police, and now in Batgirl this children's song that would freak anyone out, never mind summon an evil being from beyond Parents, living in Gotham? Move. The Royals: Masters Of War show the effects of a[...]

Todat's Batgirl #30, written by Margueritte Bennett rather than series writer Gail Simone, appears to be set after Forever Evil When… something bad seems to have happened to Nightwing, Dick Grayson "He's gone, isn't he?" And all that past tense, it doesn't just seem like she means he gone to Chicago, does it? "It hurts to think[...]

At the DC panel at ECCC, Gail Simone talked about upcoming issues of Batgirl from issues 32, 33, 34 as something that she's been asking for since the launch of the New 52 And now, finally, is being allowed to write.

Otherwise known as the Batgirl of San Diego Who, cosplaying as Batgirl, asked DC Comics panel after panel awkward questions about the treatment of female characters and use of female creators in the New 52, especially the status of Stephanie Brown To the extent that DC Comics started having meetings about the issue, promising changes[...]

So what's out this week? Gail Simone teaches us in Batgirl that sometimes what a woman really really wants is a pretty dress Men too, sometimes And yes, more plainclothes police in ballgowns is just what we need And yes, superfolk need to spend some time being pampered.

But where would a supervillain buy ice cream from? Why that would be the Joker's ice cream emporium in today's Batgirl, the Gothtopia issue, where everything's just a little more lighty-brighty… talking fo which… Imagine Agents #4 searches for wings that work, but we won;t get to them until tea has been finished[...]
