Barbara is fiercely smart, but time and time again the people around her fail to take her seriously – because she’s a girl, because she’s beautiful, or even because she’s short. So of course, there was nothing for it after that – I had to read it! And I’m so very glad that I did, because I really, really enjoyed this story.īatgirl: Year One is a delight in many ways, but the way it treats its leading lady is what truly won my heart. Thanks to Batman: TAS I developed a life-long love of animated Batman – from Batman Beyond to the more recent animated movies, such as Batman: Under the Red Hood – so you can imagine how my ears perked when I heard one of the directors who works on Legend of Korra mention in an interview how she wished Batgirl: Year One (the comic) could become the next animated Batman movie or TV series. I grew up watching that show, and it blew my mind on a regular basis – it was dark, smart, edgy, and oh so very, very good. Honestly, I still miss Batman: The Animated Series. A look into the action-packed origin of the original Batgirl, Barbara Gordon! This volume collects the 9-issue miniseries that uncovered Gordon’s transformation from average citizen into costumed super-heroine.
