I was really pleased with the rebirth of Batgirl last month I found myself excited by the fact that Barbara Gordon is back, with her tough personality and all This week brings the release of the second issue in the relaunch, from DC Comics, written by Hope Larson, with art by Rafael Albuquerque[...]

The next release from DC's Legion of Collectors has an image of Wonder Woman on the front and the teaser includes Pop versions of Wonder Woman, Batgirl and the Invisible Jet… but what is in the box remains a mystery. https://youtu.be/TWayBJGttKoVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: DC Legion of Collectors: Women Of DC's September[...]

Today brings the release of Hope Larson and Rafael Albuquerque's new Batgirl run After the success of last weeks Batgirl and the Birds of Prey, I was filled with positive feelings The tougher Barbara Gordon that I knew and loved from Gail Simone's run seemed like she had finally returned[...]

After a few technical difficulties and a quick discussion about the best kind of BBQ, Tarr started drawing Batgirl sketches while answering questions about her journey into the comics industry. Tarr broke into the industry in a big way, or as she would say "started from the top, now I'm here!" Before drawing comics Tarr worked[...]

There is a bigger story in play. King praises Detective Comics as his favorite book of the Rebirth, stating it has the soap opera action feels he loved of Chris Claremont/Jim Lee X-Men. Onto Batgirl and the Birds of Prey next, Benson's talk about how the core three heroes present with immediate story opportunities because of they're[...]

But there is also a "prequel" of sorts that focuses on Batgirl that just feels out of place and wrong on so many levels that its inclusion is a huge detriment to the production. Killing Joke first I really enjoyed what they did here Shot after shot is lifted right off the page, and seeing it[...]

This week brings the release of Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #1, written by Shawna Benson and Julie Benson, with art by Claire Roe While we've already discussed this creative team un-undoing the past, there's more to be said about this new comic I've stomped my feet at the progression Batgirl has gone through over[...]

Four days ago, we noted that it looked like that, though the previous Batgirl team may have removed the controversial events from The Killing Joke from the character's history, as a mental implant… …that the new team of Batgirl & Birds Of Prey were bringing it back for DC Rebirth. And, with the actual issue now published, we can confirm[...]

Cast not attending the event, but still truly awesome voice-over artists included Sarah Hyland (Modern Family) as Batgirl, Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants) as the Penguin, Nolan North as Superman, Tara Strong as Harley Quinn, Troy Baker as Batman, and more Cast and crew in attendance were John DiMaggio (Adventure Time, Futurama) as Deathstroke, Will Friedle[...]

She will be Maggie Sawyer's ex, whose adventures as Batwoman occasionally take her to National City. Barbara Gordon will also appear as Oracle (mostly so as not to have Batwoman AND Batgirl). Babs will develop a strong friendship with Kara, Supergirl The Oracle/Batwoman relationship is being modeled after the original Chuck Dixon Era Birds Of Prey, but[...]

The headlines may be that Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy returned to the roles of The Joker and Batman for the new animated movie Batman: The Killing Joke… but where the new film differs from the Alan Moore / Brian Bolland graphic novel is the role of Batgirl The film expands her part and makes[...]

I'm talking about Batgirl Director, Nicolas Winding Refn is really interested in the story of Barbara Gordon, and would love to make a movie. Here's what he said: "God, I would love to make one, it would probably be great fun…I just don't know when it's going to happen I very much enjoy my freedom creatively, but[...]

    Jonathan Rich writes for BleedingCool. No matter what your favorite incarnation of Batman's young female sidekick, know that those in charge of her most recent past and future want Barbara Gordon to continue to be a fun and hopeful light in the Dark Knight's often grim and gritty extended DC universe. Friday at Heroes Convention in Charlotte,[...]

The animated short series DC Super Hero Girls is getting a full length film and we have the trailer for it. Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Harley Quinn, Bumblebee, Poison Ivy and Katana band together to navigate the twists and turns of high school in DC Super Hero Girls: Hero of the Year, a new full length[...]

I'm hunting or rather, watching for any bit of information that Hope Larson might tweet out about Batgirl. She did share her excitement on Twitter when the announcement was made keeping it her "pinned tweet"… https://twitter.com/hopelarson/status/713775035517775872 …and since then, I suppose she's been quite busy[...]

We've been in Burnside with Batgirl for the past eighteen issues, and it has been quite a journey I have to give the creative team that took over the book, Brenden Fletcher, Cameron Stewart, and Babs Tarr a lot of credit What they did in Burnside with such a well known character, was brave If[...]

Bleeding Cool reported Batgirl leaving Burnside on a road trip to find herself last month Headed for Japan, Mark Doyle explained that Barbara will continue… "that vibe of a young, twenty-something superhero, carving out her own little corner in the coolest, scariest city in the world." My hope is that by the "twenty-something vibe" they don't mean throwing up into[...]

A few changes 'twixt solicitation and publication… Batgirl #51 was solicited with art by Eleanor Carlini but had Minkyu Jung and Roger Robinson added. All-New All-Different Avengers #12 will be drawn by Paco Medina, not the previously solicited Gerardo Sandoval. Cyborg #10 was solicited as written by David Walker but was by Marv Wolfman[...]

Surprise! I love Batgirl. Bigger surprise…I love Gail Simone's Batgirl. With a new creative team on the horizon for the future of Barbara Gordon, it's nice to take a look at what Simone thinks on the matter. I think everyone is entitled to the Batgirl they love best[...]

Titles include Batgirl, Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman, Vixen, and Catwoman.  It looks like it includes most of the New 52 comics along with original first issues! Personally, I've read all of Batgirl and a few Catwoman issues here and there This is a great opportunity for someone like me to dive into a new characters story[...]

A character that Gail Simone herself would write on n ongoing basis in the Birds Of Prey comic. That went away to some degree with the New 52 DC Comics Relaunch, a change in continuity for the DC Universe, with the return of Barbara Gordon as Batgirl, again written by Gail Simone With Barbara Gordon having[...]

A couple of weeks ago, Brazilian website Omelete, also behind the country's popular Comic Con, Experience event was talking about the DC Comics Rebirth titles on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiZOm84fA5UVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: The Walking Dead só vai piorar | OmeleTV AO VIVO (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiZOm84fA5U) And around the 11:20 mark on this video, they say that a Brazilian[...]

Batgirl, along with every other DCU superhero title is cancelled in May and relaunched in June That includes Batgirl, the comic transformed by Brenden Fletcher, Cameron Stewart and Babs Tarr, that saw Barbara Gordon move to Burnside and an industry changing attitude that used the term "Batgirling" first internally at DC Comics, then more widely. In June,[...]

Anyway, Deadpool is getting his memories back…. So is Batgirl…. So are the captives of Pleasant Hill in Avengers Standoff: Alpha #1 With the folk in Titans Hunt doing similar, potentially leading into a DC Rebirth and revealing a JSA who was there all along, will 2016 be the year that everyone gets their memories back? Okay, not[...]

A few changes 'twixt solicitation and publication… as Rebirth plays merry hell with creator and editorial schedules at DC Comics… Batgirl #49 was solicited with art by Babs Tarr but she has been joined by Horacio Domingues, Babs  Roger Robinson, Ming Doyle and James Harvey. Batman '66 Meets the Man from U.N.C.L.E[...]

I haven't really shut up about my feelings about how great Gail Simone's Batgirl was, and if you miss it as much as I do, you'll be happy to read the new issue of Secret Six today. Here's what Simone had to say… So, if you are curious about how I would write Barbara Gordon at this time, PICK UP SECRET SIX[...]
