Batgirl: The Lesson

The last of the Stephanie Brown Batgirl before the new 52.  It's a shame that she hasn't reappeared in the new 52, this was such a fresh series.  It is just a fun read.  The one-shot story with Robin was very touching.  She knows what Damian is going through and she knows that he doesn't want her pity.  So what does she do?  Take him to a bouncy castle.

Batgirl: The Flood

It's a shame that DC is rebooting. I think I like Stephanie Brown's Batgirl. I do like the interaction she and Babs have developed. It's not just teacher and student, it's also a friendship. The internal monologue continues to make me chuckle, especially when Barbara and Stephanie are thinking the same thing.

As for the story itself, the main story is just OK. The Calculator has never been a villain that has interested me and having him as the Oracle's nemesis seems forced. The best part of the story was Dick Grayson's shirtless cameo. The two filler stories were much better. I really liked the friendship building between Supergirl and Batgirl.

Batgirl Rising

I picked this up on a whim. I've been reading the Dick Grayson Batman and completely enjoying it and saw that this was a bit more of the aftermath of Bruce Wayne's "death". I'm so glad I got this! It's not too often that I laugh out loud at what I'm reading but this did that.

I'm not that familiar with Stephanie Brown. I remember her from her Spoiler days in the old Robin series but I liked her in this. I liked how Barbara tried to talk her out of being Batgirl and eventually started training her and I liked how Dick reacted when he found out. Solid all round.
