Bleeding Cool Magazine article by Mark Seifert & William Christensen There’s nothing a vintage comic collector likes better than to see an obscure old

Reality shows have been used in comics from Civil War to Amrica's Got Powers, but I think this is the first time they've actually inspired someone to acts of supervillainy. Welcome to the new Ventriloquist in Batgirl #20 Simon Cowell? Piers Morgan? She's coming for you… Batgirl #20 is published today Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London, who[...]

From Cryptozoic, The Women Of Legend, a new trading card series featuring female characters from the DC Universe. The New 52 as well... I'm especially

But all the women of the DC Universe, Batgirl, Batwoman, Wonder Woman, Catwoman and Huntress get… a double page between them. Now, sure, some other books are also seen in the New 52 section, and in the Vertigo election as well… but doesn't it feel a little odd? Also worth considering that The Black People Of[...]

Well, a building did fall on Batgirl Does rather emphasise the details of the conversation… mortality coming closer to us all. And on that depressing note… Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London.   It must be a real arse to argue with Luke Skywalker when he pulls lines like this one from Star Wars #3 on you[...]

I honestly had forgoten about it. At ECCC, Gail Simone just announced that The Ventriloquist will return to the New 52 in Batgirl And this time she's female Here's the cover for issue 20… Ethan Van Sciver also talked about giving Bruce Wayne a life changing moment that DC Comics almost didn't let them go with… James Robinson[...]

And X-Force. Now these are the guys, in Batgirl, who would have made Robocop a much shorter film. Katana gets her… cherry popped? It does get rather Fifty Shades very very quicky in her first comic. Powers: Bureau #1 delivers some rather entertaining Marvel Comics swearing to deserve its mature readers label. And that's how Avengers Assemble does it[...]

We knew that Gail Simone was coming back to Batgirl But what about her artist Ed Benes? He was absent from DC's April solicitations. A few days ago he posted on Facebook; Oi pessoal, hoje eu estou usando esse espaço para, para avisar que estou me afastando dos quadrinhos por um tempo, talvez um ano ou dois[...]

Though I preferred this one; [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r-j5aq7NlM[/youtube] Anyway, today's Death Of The Family titles, Batman, Batman And Robin and Batgirl all tie up together at the end, ahead of the final chapter, Batman #17 Maybe next week's Nightwing and Red Hood And The Outlaws will end the same way[...]

That Jeff Lemire and Ray Fawkes would be writing Constantine – if you remember, Ray Fawkes was to have taken over Batgirl before that decision was reversed – and that Christy Marx is to write Birds Of Prey – the first time a woman has written that title since Gail Simone. Here's how they explain it;  Robert[...]

It's a gem, but it should come polybagged, with a MR rating on the cover. MIND THE SPOILERS You've been warned, no more crying in the comments section! THE KILLING VOWS This Batgirl/Joker meeting did NOT go as planned Gail Simone releases a dark streak inside Barbara in BATGIRL #15, that feels both genuine and unsettling. LOSING FACE Ugh, sorry[...]

Not a hoax, Gail Simone returns: DC Comics have now reversed that editor's decision in the wake of considerable online protest and, I'm told, a reluctance to have every single person asking questions during convention season dressed up as Batgirl saying "Where's Gail Simone?"

Gail Simone is the new Batgirl writer. Also NOT A HOAX. When I put together the Top 100 Power List for the Comics Industry over the summer, Gail Simone wasn't on the list She was considered, sure, but her influence seemed to be dimming Her fanbase and Twitter following would have put her in the top 150[...]

Recently, Gail Simone announced she'd been fired off Batgirl by DC Comics With her exclusive contract at the company coming to an end, some thought that would be that Especially since so many other publishers had started calling offering her work. It's not. I hear something is coming From Gail, from DC And that tomorrow will be[...]

Today, we get four Death Of The Family comics, Batman #15, Batgirl #15, Suicide Squad #15 and Batman And Robin #15 The latter gets a die cut cover but all feature confrontation with The Joker. But the mask is starting to slip. .. Tied on by a belt strap and twine, the Joker's reattached face isn't the most[...]

Remember, remember, the tenth of December… Today, the Outhousers managed to see Newsarama's listing of the Batman Group solicitations before they subsequently pulled it, and extracted this particular entry; BATGIRL #18 Written by RAY FAWKES Art and cover by DANIEL SAMPERE and VICENTE CIFUENTES On sale MARCH 13 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T • The first of[...]

I mentioned during the weekend's shenanigans concerning Gail Simone and Batgirl that I'd heard a number of stories concerning the relationship between creative and editorial at DC Comics right now Gail Simone and her editor Brian Cunningham was just one example. Another concerns a creative team on a very prominent title over a number of months[...]

Gail Simone's firing from Batgirl is one reason why: It may have been all in the language – she didn't leave, she was pushed It may have been that circumstances changed If so, it appears that they changed back Either way, I have been informed from all sources that Simone is no longer on the title[...]

Last week, we reported that Gail Simone had left Batgirl A couple of days later, Simone responded, telling her board that she had not left Batgirl. It may have been all in the language – she didn't leave, she was pushed It may have been that circumstances changed If so, it appears that they changed back[...]

They may be delayed because there are… let's go with "issues"…  to sort out. For instance I understand that Batgirl #17 and #18 won't be written by Gail Simone This specifically isn't an indication that Gail is off the book, I have been explicitly told that this is a fill-in writer situation. With Gail Simone's workload at[...]

A chance to reintroduce a host of supervillains to the new DCU, and putting them up against superheroes they may not always have been associated with. Apart from Batman and The Riddler. We've already reported on The Prankster in Nightwing, now I understand we can look forward to the rebooted Ventriloquist and Scarface in Batgirl. Created by Alan[...]

Today, on her message board, Gail Simone replied to the rumours we've been reporting that she may be leaving the Batgirl title. She simply stated; I have not left Batgirl.
