    Who's the artist on the lead-in graphic? And why did he sew Batgirl's mask onto her face?

    I want Barbera back!

    I was totally pissed off with the way they treated her character for an essentially useless shake-up of the Batman mythos.

    @alphanumeric1971: What are you talking about? Barbra has been awesome as Oracle!

    She's contributed more to the DC universe for the past 20 years that way than as Batgirl.

    @omgwtflolbbqbye:Yes and all that was required to take out a quick reflexed vigilante was to just casually walk up to her door and shoot her.

    If that's all it took to take her out, she should have died WAY earlier in her career.

    @alphanumeric1971: That was sort of the point though. Barbara and Jim never expected anyone to attack them at home, point blank, while opening the door in plainclothes.

    @alphanumeric1971: Let's be completely honest, Barbara had much more crime fighting training after she was paralyzed than she did when she was Batgirl.

    @alphanumeric1971: She was shot as Barbara Gordon, not as Batgirl. Her being shot had nothing to do with her vigilante career.

    @sumocat: let's see, she's the daughter of the police commissioner. Your telling me that even if she never became batgirl, nobody including her would have thought that they would have tried to get at Gordon through her?

    C'mon!!!

    I'm personally of the Stephanie-as-Batgirl bandwagon. She's owed a bigger role in the Family following that ridiculous "death" at the hands of Leslie Thompkins and being robbed of the Robin role.

    I LOVE TERRY. I would be so happy to see him back. I may even start reading comics more regularly again, if he were in them :) I hope it's Cassandra Cain batgirl... I miss her :) I liked her when she was cute and quiet and deadly.

    @Tammy Garrison: Judging by the pics its probably safe to say Batgirl IV isn't Cass; unless she had a reverse-Psylocke thing happen to her.

    this whole mixup of who is under which mask isn't going to change much unless the writers can actually come up with decent stories.
    also i still find dick playing batman to be a little off, since he's.. not batman. he doesn't have the motivation or the history, just the training. and surely someone's noticed nightwing disappeared?

    @ninjajazza: He's got a whole nother set of motivation the death of his parents which is was lead to him being Robin in the first place and now the need to carry on for Bruce
