Batgirl: Difference between revisions

6) As of October, 2009, a [[Batgirl 2009 (Comic Book)|new]] ''[[Batgirl 2009 (Comic Book)|Batgirl]]'' [[Batgirl 2009 (Comic Book)|series]] started with a new Batgirl: Stephanie Brown, aka Spoiler and Robin IV. As shown in the first issue, Cassandra Cain has retired as Batgirl (but the [[Word of God|author]] says she's not out of the picture...oops, now she is because DC has "big plans for her"...) and Stephanie decides to use the costume instead. Barbara Gordon finds out about this and at first tries to stop her, but after seeing a demonstration of her bravery vows to guide and help her. The series is [[Lighter and Softer]] than many of the other Bat-related titles currently being published by DC, but is an embodiment of the [[Tropes Are Not Bad]] ideal: Its [[Plucky Girl|upright and cheerful protagonist]] still faces the same horrors and challenges facing any hero, but perseveres without ever losing her positive outlook.
