Batgirl Vol. 1: The Darkest Reflection (the New 52) by Gail Simone

5.0

I really enjoyed this comic graphic novel. I liked the story and how Batgirl is trying to do her own thing and saving people on her own.

In this book it is about Barbara Gorden and how she is recovering from an injury that left her unable to walk but after about 3 years she is able to walk again due to a procedure that has been helping her to get back to being independant. She goes back to being Batgirl and she is going to go up against some new (to me) villians.

I loved how she wants to be able to trust those around her again. That she wants to save Gotham from the criminals and has to get over a fear of getting hurt. It is a hard thing to learn but she is willing to put to rest her fear of anyone new. I really like how she decides to live with a woman she doesn't know to learn to trust people and that she does not have to fear that everyone is out to get her.

I am really excited to see how things go for her and that will happen to her next as the series continues. It was fun being with Batgirl.
