Batgirl Vol. 1: Batgirl of Burnside (the New 52) by Brenden Fletcher, Cameron Stewart

3.0

Conflicted about the whole comic. On one hand the art is awesome, and I appreciate that the writers are giving Babs a youthful vibe - we already have too many wet blankets in the Bat-family. On the other hand they dumbed her down way too much! There are no big challenges to be faced, no detective skills involved, and her "mind as a computer" is used as a plot device that comes and goes when inconvenient to the narrative. The way I see it Batgirl is DC answer to Marvel's Ms. Marvel and it falls short. Also, adding a sidekick with muscular dystrophy does not make up for removing the one title character with disabilities from the lineup.
