⚫ :batparrot: Batgirls Discussion (SPOILERS) :batparrot: 🟣

I had some issue getting on the last few days (finally pulled it off again) but I read it the minute it was released.

With all the cute Haley covers

Given in fighting vol 4 reveals there are is a hit out on Dick Grayson and issue 83 had him holding a press conference in front of his home, Haley is likely going to be staying with her mommy (Babs) and the batgirls for the foreseeable future.

My favorite part of this issue had to be Cassandra getting her ears pierced and that she seems to be afraid of needles.

I am also enjoying Cassandra’s expressions in her batsuit. despite her entire face being covered, you can still read her face.

So glad you enjoyed!

There are tons of great character details! Love the way Corona is able to really convey emotion through both Cass and Steph’s masks! That’s a classic piece of Cass art lore!

April solicitations are up, so that means we get new covers for Batgirls #5!

Main cover:

Michael Cho cardstock variant:

Rian Gonzales incentive variant:

I think this time I’m sticking to just the Cho one - the main one doesn’t quite hit me as hard as #4’s main cover. But they’re all pretty great!

I like all of these. The last one is super cute and even has Ace in the background! I’m apparently a sucker for how this artist draws Haley, lol.

I try to keep all the super important books in these- they’re nice and rigid and I know that they’ll stay protected. All of my super rare variants, 1970s/80 key issues, and my most important BG issues are in them. :+1:

How much are they? I think I got one ordering a special variant once, but I usually just order the cheap ones. :slight_smile:

I’ve been buying them from eBay:

$38 for ten is a bit pricey but if you keep your eyes open you can pick them up cheaper from certain vendors. :smiley:

I think I like Alex Garner’s cover best. Like circus acrobats having to depend upon one another as they swing through the city.

I see Karen Gillian as the perfect Batwoman, whereas she is a tad old to be Batgirl. Batgirl should be high school to early college age.

Thanks for posting these! I’m in for the Cho cover.

The Garner cover was really, really lovely - the lighting, the pose - all very emotionally effective!

Finally read #2, and my favorite parts were:

• Cass getting her ears pierced.

As a guy, I’m never piercing my ears.

However if I was a woman, IDK if I’d be all that interested in having pierced ears, either.

I can definitely sympathize with Cass.

• The elephant in the room, i.e. codenames.

I’m curious what’ll come of this, because if anything, Cass should be “Batgirl” since she’s actually wearing the bat-emblem, the cowl with the pointed ears, etc.

The rest of the issue was fun, and I’m looking forward to #3 early next month.
