Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2016
Batgirl is definitely my favorite series from the New 52 Lineup. Gail Simone has kept Barbara Gordon and the essence of her character consistent throughout all 5 volumes, and each installment was an excellent read.

This final volume is as entertaining as its predecessors, however I felt like Knightfall's plan to take over Gotham city was concluded too quickly after such a long buildup, and I really wish Simone had portrayed the battle with more pages.

The very final issue in this volume was a bit unusual, with Barbara marrying a GCPD cop only for her brother James to cut the marriage short. The issue then continues with Barbara infiltrating various criminal organization, and even works with Bane. I was a bit confused by the ending, but I'm glad it wasn't a cliffhanger.

Gail Simone made me laugh aloud as read - to me when you can mix humor, sarcasm, and action into one story then you are a great writer. She really knows the characters and I love seeing Batgirl as Batgirl again. Thanks Ms. Simone!

Collects Batgirl (2011) # 27-34, Annual 2, Batgirl: Future's End 1
Written by Gail Simone, except for 30, by Marguerite Bennet

27 - A Gothopia Crossover - The main Gothopia 3-parter is here 
Batman: Detective Comics Vol. 5: Gothtopia (The New 52)  - Not a dream! Not a hoax! Not an imaginary story! Ok, maybe it's... a dream?
28, 29 - A new bad guy, Silver, thinks the Bat-family are vampires. Guest-starring the mute Talon Strix.
30 - The Midnight Man is sort of like the Candyman or Bloody Mary. As this was written by a different author, Barbara's narration seems off, as if she were a librarian rather than a criminology major.
Annual - Over the course of a year, Batgirl teams up with Poison Ivy to fight wealthy villain Mr. Rain. Guest-stars the rest of the New 52 Birds of Prey for a bit.
31 - Batgirl vs. Ragdoll. Also ties into the Knightfall arc.
32-34 - (the Deadline story) Finishes the Knightfall story, with Black Canary, Huntress (from Earth 2, I think) and other guest stars.
Batgirl: Future's End. Even great authors write disappointing Future's End stories.

Not quite as good as previous volumes. A collection of stories that are largely disconnected from each other. There are references to other things going on with the Bat-family that you may or may not be aware of - Damian's (temporary) death, Dick Grayson's "death," Commissioner Gordon's arrest. Still, Gail Simone's Batgirl was one of the better books of the New 52, and I recommend reading the entire run, in order, starting with this one 
Batgirl Vol. 1: The Darkest Reflection (The New 52) .

After this volume, Batgirl moves to Burnside and gets a new writer/artist team. 
Batgirl Vol. 1: The Batgirl of Burnside (The New 52)  I haven't gotten around to reading that one yet.

This would be Gail Simone's last book and I think it was a pretty good one. A closed ark, a special guest experience by huntress (yay) and a good way to move forward

Sad to see batgirl go. I am excited to see what they do with her next. Also the ending was a little weird and rushed.

Sorry to see Gail and this Batgirl go. It seems we are getting a Teen Titans Go version of Barbara in the next volumes

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic end to the Simone run
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 10, 2015
This is a great end to the Simone line. Batgirl's arc has been very good and this ends with a powerful scene of Batgirl becoming a worthy successor to the Batman.

The series started with a very weakened, very insecure Barbara becoming the Batgirl after a huge absence thanks the Joker. As you will know then she fights various villains and becomes more and more competent. In the last volume she proved she could successfully defend herself against some of the strongest villains in the Batgirl rogue gallery. This volume is the end of the run for Simone and now she proves she can form her own form of the justice league. I won't give away details but it is a great finale against an equally powerful villain.

Definitely worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent end to Gail Simone's Batgirl run
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 9, 2015
I have loved every minute of Gail Simone's run on Batgirl. She has a very strong knack for writing female characters and probably writes Barbara Gordon better than anyone else. The art here isn't at it's best, but it's still very good and holds true to the dark and gritty world of Gotham. There's an incredible pay off when the story reaches its ridiculously good climax. That said, this volume does get off to a bit of a slow start with a couple of filler issues, but the end of Barbara's story is well worth it. The end of my favourite era of Batgirl and the beginning of an incredible new one.

3.0 out of 5 stars What a letdown
Reviewed in Germany on May 31, 2015
Don't get me wrong, the stories are still great, but this is the ugliest Batgirl we have seen to date. What's worse, all the other females have the same face. Very disappointing.
