After a two month break, Barbara Gordon is back but she’s a target of the all-new Batman in Batgirl #41 this week.
Creative team Cameron Stewart, Brenden Fletcher and Babs Tarr ramp up the stakes and drama for the big her of Gotham’s Burnside after a creative shift that paid off in huge acclaim and inspired the recent launch of Black Canary by Fletcher and Annie Wu.
Barbara’s roommate Frankie knows her secret identity and the mystery villain of the new team’s first arc turned out to be Barbara herself via a computer program.
Now we know Jim Gordon is the all-new Batman under the high-tech armor and working for the Powers Corporation/Gotham P.D. We know the history between Jim Gordon and Batgirl so it’s not a surprise he’s going after the vigilante of Burnside.
This battle is just a warm-up as Livewire is waiting to attack in the next issue.
Batgirl #41 arrives Wednesday.
