  1. I’ve heard nothing but good things about this book and I’ve been loving Red Robin, so I’m going to give this a shot.

  2. Same here

  3. this book has yet to disappoint me

  4. The previous arc made me give this book the title of "best superhero comic on the shelves."  I hope it keeps up the pace.

  5. It’s been good from issue one and now that Tim is in a crossover I cant wait for this.

  6. @Slockhart – i agree 110% . Ever since issue one i’ve been promoting the hell out of this book within my circle of friends that read. My LCS manager hadn’t even givin it a shot until i kept pressing her to do so. Just an awesome read everytime and now with my other favorite super hero book out there being tied in, i’m about to lose control of my bodily functions.

  7. Liked the first 4 issues well enough. Dropped it after that. Checking this out to see if it’s a good place to jump in. Plus 2 parts of the X-over in the same week? Awesome!

  8. i personally think this is the best bat-book out there right now

  9. I’m on for the crossover- here’s hoping the hype is well-founded!

  10. Wow, we’re up to #8 already?!  Go Batgirl!!  Keep’em coming!!!

  11. "The RED ROBIN crossover begins here!" – Didn’t it begin in the last issue of Red Robin?

  12. @wade I think it was more considered an ‘intro’ than actually being part of it.

  13. That was fairly fun.  I’m glad to see Stephanie moving out of Tim’s shadow, but I still enjoy seeing them work together.

    The artist switch was unfortunate and distracting. 

    Am I the only who likes the Red Robin costume? Yes, it looks like Dr. Midnite, but I like the look. 

  14. Loved this, fun all around.

  15. Better writing than Red Robin, but Red Robin dominated in the art department.  Both are POTW material, along with B&R.

    I said it on Twitter earlier, but I’ll say it here now.  A crossover between Batgirl and Red Robin is the Brangelina of comics, minus the adopted kids and phoniness. 

  16. I thought this was really clunky in terms of story telling and found myself being more bored than anything else. I picked this up because of the crossover with Red Robin and I have to say I’m not impressed.
