Volume 1 of The Batgirl of Burnside ( Batgirl #35 – 40), written by Cameron Stewart and Brenden Fletcher with art by Babs Tarr puts forth a different kind of Batgirl for a different kind of age.

In June, Black Canary is getting her own solo title in the same kind of aesthetic as Batgirl. Not only has the new look of Batgirl so well, it has sparked a revolution of sorts in a company that resides in an industry where men dominate both in the comics and out. It’s too hipster.” I remember writing about it back in July 2014 for my old blog, defending the costume choice and looking forward to the revamp. The complaints soon came rolling in: “Why would she wear that? It’s not practical. All it took was the image above and the costume redesign photo to get the debate started. However, the direction that DC allowed the character to be taken in was.

They drove around on motorcycles and swung swords and Barbara actually remarked on how good they were.The exclusive announcement on MTV News (didn’t think I’d be saying that in 2014) that DC Comics would be revamping Batgirl didn’t come as a particular big surprise to me. She suits up and tries to fight them but when the police come they drive off. So Barbara gets the external drive and when she's leaving, do you know what she sees? Why the two stolen motorcycles terrorizing people on campus. in the robotics lab, she finds out that two of their prototype motorcycles with robotic engines, intelligent chassis and jet boosters had been stolen the night before. Do you know how weird it is? It's weird enough that when Barbara goes and meets Nadimah's brother Qadir. It's not all embarrassing awkward here though, Barbara meets her new research assistant, Nadimah, who's brother just so happens to work in the robotics lab of the college and can easily get her a external drive to try and save her lost data. She's there because she needs to talk to her thesis supervisor about her losing her data during last month's issue's techno theft, but it seems he's out for awhile and instead of coming clean about her dilemma to a colleague in the department, she gets all flustered because he's cute and simply follows him to her new office, her thesis supervisor set her up in. So after the clothes shopping Barbara checks in at Burnside College and when I say she checks in, I literally mean she uses the social media 'Hooq' to check her location in.
