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

3.0

What is this even. Batgirl of Burnside is Batgirl, but it's like a focus-grouped try-hard fast-fashion version of Batgirl. The new costume is fab, and I liked the art, but the rest of it was underwhelming. The villains were vaguely ridiculous; even the arc villain of the entire volume was brought down in a totally predictable, laughable way.

That said, it was a quick read, no worse a time-waster than a couple of sitcoms I watch, and it's Batgirl, so I'll probably read the next volume if my library gets it.


(two-and-a-half stars)
