![]() ![]() In all honesty, Batgirl hasn’t been trying too terribly hard to get to the bottom of things, but gets her biggest lead in this issue. Batgirl has faced a slew of villains all seemingly connected to one another, and even stranger, to Batgirl herself. Of course, this isn’t the only thing that’s been building over the last few issues, and issue #38 takes a large step forward in getting readers closer to what’s been going on. This issue interestingly gives us the sense that all of these changes seem to building up to a confrontation, both personal and otherwise, as she’s going to have to learn to balance what she’s gained with what she’s lost. ![]() ![]() ![]() As Batgirl, while she’s taken to fully assert herself as the protector of Burnside and as a hero in general, she’s taken center stage in a spotlight that’s far too big for any bat-themed hero. While she’s made a handful of valuable new friendships, one her oldest friendships with Black Canary has been weakened and perhaps destroyed because of her new life. While all of these elements have been used to cultivate the new lighthearted tone fueling this book, it’s also had some unexpected negative consequences for Barbara as well. The first few issues of this new run have seen the introduction of many elements added into Batgirl’s world such as social media, smartphones, new friends, new crushes, and more. Barbara Gordon has had enough of being so serious, and for the last few issues she’s been painting the town red both in her personal life and as a hero. ![]()
