    Gail Simone is a great writer. Her past work has been some of my favorite things to read. Her writing Batgirl seemed like a natural selection based off of her Birds of Prey work.

I'm not feeling really wrapped up in the story, and it doesn't really feel like it stands out from the rest of the Batman family stuff.I mean, ok, Gretel seems like an interesting villain, with the color changing hair, and the 338 hypnosis that only seems to apply to males. And the hypnosis has a r...
