I'd rahter Stephnaie Brown make a name for herself as the one & only Spoiler, than one of the Batgirls. Sure, her ,Harper etc will probly never get any real mainstream attention unless they are Batgirls, but then again Cassandra Cain never got much attention either as a batgirl. Huntress has had more tv exposure.

Keep Spoiler as away from the Batname as possible, so that maybe Stephanie can suit up as Spoiler on Arrow/Flash or Constantine. Hell, can we please get Selena Kyle removed from the Gotham show & have a young Stephanie instead?

You know, one relevant thing nowadays is taking nude selfies to send to her BF. She's the daughter of the the commisioner. Seems to me someone is gonna want to hack her phone. & if Batgirl becomes a public figure, there is gonna be parody sex videos etc.

It's for the selfie variants DC are doing

@tattacus

Eh. Maybe if the costume was one piece I'd like it. And I'm not a fan of the boots.

Also, wouldn't leather be more restrictive than spandex for her line of work?

Exactly, I would figure spandex would be more flexible then a tricked out leather jacket… just seems odd. Now is it just me, or is she like 14 years old now?

I kinda like the new look. that's all I got to say on that.

Apparently shes not supposed to be. But yeah to me she looks about 14 ish.

All is well. <3

Not a fan of the whole teen superhero thing for barbara, she isn't a brash teen, she's been crippled once damnit!

I don't understand the celebrating. Batgirl was one of the most consistently well written books of the New 52, and one of my personal favorites. I'm annoyed by this change.

@doombot890: She's actually older than Dick in the New 52 as far as I know.

I really like the new design. She looks really cute.

@jaken7: I agree with you. Apparently we can't have drama because it gets in the way of FUN.

I honestly thought more people would be annoyed by this. I know I am.

........... I LIKE THIS A LOT.

I have been loving Simone's run, and she did her best and had a long run. I'm ready for something new and fresh.

One more thing, Why not just put Steph Brown in this instead because this doesn't fit Babs. This looks like Steph Brown with red hair.

@thitiki: here ya go lol

Damn that's amazing! WW cleavage +10.

Yikes,WW fans aren't gonna be pleased.

Nope. Rofl.

They can't stand her looking sexy. Its anti-feminist :p

I like Simone as a writer but I don't think Batgirl was any good. At best, average so this is perhaps a good development. Hope Gail gets something else more fitting for her. As for the changes, I'm open to them. Batgirl needs something that distinguishes it from the other books and this could be it. Like how Nightwing went to Grayson. Otherwise, the books act like ancillary material that is forever trapped in Batmans shadow. DCs really fixing up their Bat line with this and Catwoman. Rumours say even Batwoman might end and she gets out on a new Birds of Prey.

Nice!

Good. I hate how the artist draws her face now.

The new costume is fresh, cool, and refreshing from the usual, boring, featureless, spandex every hero wears. Now she has some variety.

If only they could get batman to stop wearing so much gray.

I think this would have been far more likable take on Batgirl if it was introduced at the start of the new 52, yknow and then we see this super happy go lucky teen dectective go down the dark path.

Not gonna lie, this sounds like a VERY Stephanie Brown-ish approach.

I don't know why she would go from armored suit to cosplay.

Third. Even with its ups and downs it was a great series.

The costume looks awful. It looks like Hit-Girl from the movies, not Batgirl.

Nice art.

I'm a fan and boy do i disagree I love the cleavage! Hell make her naked even better!

Can't say I like the changes. While lightening up the tone is a good idea it seems like they plan to good a bit too far with it. Also not digging the art or new costume at all.

@maccyd: ah well :(

I shouldn't really be so quick to judge...I was pretty harsh on the new Grayson and after actually reading a bit of it. It wasn't completely character ruining as I had thought. I'll give this a shot...

But

The costume/Uniform why oh why would someone from the Bat Family need such a Cosplay like suit. Don't the suits that Bruce provides equipped with a lot more protection than what they look like?? aren't they laced with some sort of kevlar (insert comic book science)

whatever DC I'll give it a shot

I am totally in love with Babs Tarr's art

...I think I'm gonna like the art for Batgirl in the future. lol

Well I was slightly irked when Xu found Gail was off the book but I like the sound of this looks like it'll be fun.

I don't like the new costume and this sounds to kiddie for me.

Is Barbara getting younger?

I'm glad some people like this, but I am not one of them. It looks so so wrong, the art. I will miss Gail but it's ok someone else to give it a shot. But with new art comes a new light hear-ted direction. Ugh...I may try it but right now I lean towards dropping this book.

Simone is leaving DC? I'm asking.

Yep, that's us comic-geeks in a nutshell:P

Oh, but this is the n52, where there are no room for second-stringers.

HA!!!

Here comes what all the hippies want. ABSOLUTELY NO darkness to any character especially at the devil DC. Congrats hippies, you have won batgirl is taking selfies drawn like she belongs on cartoon network.

@waezi2: After reading Bat Eternal, It would be out of character for Step to be a happy cheerful teenager.

@dadarkknight36310: Haven't read that one. Is it good?

I love the outfit. That jacket is sick! If I was a girl I'd be posting about buying a jacket based off it on leather cult right now :P

The boots and gloves are a mistake. It makes her suit look crappy. I wish it was like this but with the awesome gloves and boots she had before.

Are they de-aging her too? I'll miss Simone. I've loved this book.

Not a fan of the new art style but that new look is really cool.

If I want a light tone and rollicking fun I'll by the Teen Titan's book.

Pass on the new batgirl.

She swapped out her high tech armor for clothing? Talk about a step back already.

Here is another cool image of her awesome new outfit. I wish all heroes would stop with full body suits and get back to using tops and bottoms.

it was the only tittle that i had been truly enjoying ever since the New 52 began. Barbara was back in triumphanly lika a real bad-ass, i only hope this change doesn't make her look like a silly girl.

Superheroes taking selfies is a natural fit, all they do is pose and strut around anyway.

She got on the Doc Martens

I think this kind of book would fit Steph better but whatever. I really like the new outfit. I might start reading her book again.

@thatguywithheadphones: Clint...Barton?

...Yes

Ugh...the pathetic 5-year timeline strikes again. Barbara as a character is not....this immature brat. I don't see how DC is expecting this to be relatible to the comic book readers who typically also hate the "selfies, duck-faces, and twilight" vibe. This just screams out of touch and trying to grab the golden goose that are new readers. Quite frankly....I mean this is the nicest way possible...but as a comic book fan I don't want 'Beliebers' and 'twi-hards' becoming a base of the comic book industry. It will ruin future stories.

Also...considering barbara's character and the mental age she should have...I'm just going to consider this series an insane book of Barbara having an early mid-life crisis. Sound good?

Really don't like the sound of this and think the new look is dumb. I want to read Simone's Batgirl forever :(

it never ceases to amaze me what comic fans can find to complain about. Tops and bottoms? Boots and selfies? seriously..

My only question is, Are they going to go the complete opposite direction of where she is at now. While I didn't like the armor suit, and the overly macabre rouges gallery she has acquired I don't think she need to get low tech and go bubble gum pop either.

If this was a 'Here comes The Batgirl' title or something outside her main book, I would be pretty excited to read this, This look does not fit in with the rest of the new 52. trying to picture this look with Birds of Prey or Harley and Poison Ivy...and I can't see it yet.

That being said, a cool suit and an creative team I am not familiar with, I will be cautiously optimistic to see where he stories go from here.
