So Robin and Nightwing are canceled or technically have moved on to bigger and better things so DC needed to fill that void and story telling style with something and they choose Batgirl. The story is weak, think watered down version of Ultimate Spider-Man as
CLICK TO SHOW SPOILER Stephanie Brown aka Batgirl is constantly struggling to decide whether or not she should be wearing the suit. The main problem with the story is that there isn't any weight. There's no mystery to who's behind the mask and frankly that could have been the interesting part, but it's not. Everything BG does is "spoiled" by the narrative which takes away any feeling of danger the character might have been in. The cover is beautiful and really gives the book mystery which again is taken away half way through the book. The art inside is very good as well but has some inconsistent or rather rushed panels. I just couldn't help giving it three stars though since the story was so mediocre. It shares the same problem the Robin book before cancellation, it's just not the interesting and doesn't fit in with the rest of the Bat books and this is probably due to the fact that the book is very bright. It lacks the darkness that the rest of the Bat books usually have making it the red-headed step child of the bunch.
The rest is going to be spoilers so brace yourself.
CLICK TO SHOW SPOILER The book continues to cut between Steph going through her teenage angst about lying to her mom about quitting and Barbara Gordon and the apparent anger management issues she has. Which feels out of place big time. Any relation you could have been building with Spoiler/Batgirl is taken away when you switch the narrative to the older bitter Babs. And here's why, they read the same. Babs is educated and damn near a genius in the DCU so why does the college freshmen that missed most of high school being a criminal/vigilante talk just like her? They share the same narrative voice which makes it hard to get into either story since they end up sounding bi-polar. Additionally the book covers what happened happened to Casandra Cain who was finally making a come back in the DCU... she quit. Her and Spoiler were sharing a fight together in which Cain was talking like a regular teenager and calling Steph her friend (very uncharacteristic of her) and after the fight decided that she would no longer fight for the dead Batman and left her suit and disappeared... very, very boring, much like the rest of the book.
