Batgirl is mother a look , a new perspective and a new creative team . It ’s all good news show — especially that fan - preferred illustrator Babs Tarr will make her mainstream comic unveiling — but none of it better than Barbara Gordon ’s make new , utterly marvellous novel uniform .
Designed by Tarr and author Cameron Stewart , the outfit is reasonable , fashionable , and just all around unadulterated . It also take place to be eminently cosplayable .
It ’s part of a fresh direction for DC ’s Batgirl comic , which will chuck the relentless betrayal / fire / slaying - fest that has eclipse the comic so far with issue # 35 ( due in October ) , when Barbara make a motion to the voguish hip part of Gotham City to focus on going to grad school . Of course , there are still mysteries to solve and villains to agitate , but Batgirl will finally be reserve to have merriment and learn to enjoy the spotlight . As Stewart told MTV :

She ’s entrust it all behind her . We really require to make this a book with a light flavour , of play and adventure and mystery , and let the ease of the Bat - family tidy sum with the darkness . She ’s got problem , and conflict , and enemies to fight , but our precedency was to make this a really fun , rollicking read .
Co - writer Brenden Fletcher added their take incorporate “ mixes the safe element of ‘ Veronica Mars ’ and ‘ Girls , ’ with a bolt of ‘ Sherlock ’ thrown in for good measure . ”
I ca n’t tell you how happy I am to hear this . Not every superhero comic DC redact out needs to compete for the Grimmest n ’ Grittiest of the Year Awards , and Batgirl ’s already tragic past made her current wretchedness even more unpalatable for me .

For more detail and more fine art , drumhead over to MTVto read an excellent consultation with Tarr , Stewart and Fletcher . And well done , DC . Well done indeed .
