Review: Batgirl #6

Stephen Schleicher — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 04:19:13 +0000

Well this should be interesting… One of the biggest appeals of the new Batgirl series is seeing Spoiler turned Batgirl Stephanie Brown as she makes her way through her first big crime mystery, while trying to make Oracle happy and avoiding the disapproving frown of Batman.

Stephen Schleicher — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:25:06 +0000

Now I’m hooked on Batgirl art, and I discovered this piece by Ty Romsa. Nothing to crazy here. I just do these Convention Style Sketches to stay loose. I love Batgirl, so I thought that I’d do her again. I’m not to worried about anatomy and all here. Just practice at keeping it loose. Markers and ink. [...]

Is this where the new Birds of Prey begins? Love it or lump it, Stephanie Brown is the new Batgirl, but she’s still got one more person to convince before the job is officially hers.

New Batgirl costume on the way?

While you were busy looking at Tom Welling’s version of the Superman costume, we stumbled upon this image, of what might be a new design for the Stephanie Brown Batgirl costume. Many have already remarked that Stephanie continuing to wear the Cassandra Cain costume doesn’t feel right, so perhaps this Lee Garbett design will work. [...]
