Batgirl #12 Preview/Discussion SPOILERS

[albone]

I'm surprised Gail would write her own character in her own book with such a bad showing. Of course the site I saw the pics on I couldn't see any larger and could barely read any of the text, especially Batgirl's black thought boxes, so that may have provided context. Still have to say Gail, definitely disappointed in you, and you say your such a big fan of Batgirl. Not on these pages at any rate.

Don't forget that Babs might get her heat back later in the issue as well. Or even down the line?

Batwoman will always be over Batgirl for me she's just to hardcore for Babs.
Got her saying Uncle and everything

Wow, she didn't even make it competitive. Oh well.

In Babs defense, she successfully defused the situation and even got Batwoman to hand over a fancy hankie. This isn't Marvel where victory means your opponent is face down in the dirt.

Clearly Kate won... Babs might as well have tapped out.

I think I wanna try this issue out. Been hearing the Batgirl title was getting stronger, and I've always like the character. Plus, Batwoman is in it. But, before I do:

- is this the beginning of its own arc?
- how many issues in said arc?
- and can someone give me an unbiased opinion that it's in fact getting better, or not?

^This arc started with issue #10 and you will want to get issue #11. I dropped Batgirl because it wasn't interesting to me at first but starting with issue 10, I started REALLY liking it.

I would recommend following the Knightfall arc.

[maxpower00044]

Ok. I just might do that. I really love the character, I just hear such bad things, that I wasn't following it in the beginning.

[The_Greatest_Username]

I'm impressed Gail let her favorite character lose. It made sense in the context that Babs was clearly at a disadvantage. It's not too bad really, Batgirl has had plenty of superhero vs superhero fights (sparring or not) for me already.

A part of me was jokingly thinking that Gail was actually auditioning to take over Batwoman's book, that one part of the fight that we did see was just so absolutely one-sided. Again though it's only a few pages from the entirety, so I won't cry foul completely until getting the full issue tomorrow.

That was why I started pulling Batgirl- because I like Babs Gordon. The first several issues didn't maintain that love. I expected her to be a little scared taking the mantle back but she was far too whiney and scared. Starting with issue 10, I started seeing a more confident, yet caring Babs, the one I like.

[maxpower00044]

^ yeah, just added this to my list of books. Gonna give it a shot.

Isn't today Monday?
