Batgirl, Vol. 1: The Darkest Reflection by Gail Simone

3.0

---

I've only read the Burnside High and Year One Batgirl's, so after hearing that Joss Whedon's Batgirl movie would be influenced by Gail Simone's run... I was excited to give this a read. It's very dark, somber, and introspective. I enjoyed it, but as someone who was introduced to Batgirl via the Adam's West show... a brighter pop version resonates with me more. I was introduced to the Yvonne Craig Batgirl, and I see her as a brighter version. But still, if you are in the mood for a post Killing Joke narrative that is brave but somber this is for you.
