Batgirl #1 Preview

Babs is back! One of the most controversial books of DC's 'New 52' is being handled by one of the best talents in the industry. Batgirl - Barbara Gordon, is back on her feet and being written by the scribe who has defined her for a generation, Gail Simone.

In an interview with the New York Post, Simone had this to say:

It’s tremendously exciting to see her smiling on the cover of her own hit book finally, ready to kick ass against Gotham City’s worst monsters.

She had a lot more to say, but then they ran these awesome preview pages and there may or may not have been some male squee-ing. Accounts differ on that last part.
