Meet the New Batgirl (Again)
?
Beginning in Batgirl #4, the new Batgirl — the identity of whom surprised no one, by the way, but I’ll refrain from mentioning it just case you don’t know yet and can’t figure it out by looking at the image above — will wear a new costume. Although I didn’t care for Batgirl #1, I do like the new duds — I always preferred the Barbara Gordon-hair thing, and I’m a sucker for black and purple (it’s why I don’t hate the Huntress, even though I feel like I should). On an unrelated note, anybody know why she’s beating up the punks from Dark Knight Returns? (Via DC’s Source)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
