I’ve already made a post about sexism in comics and the fact that strong women weren’t as represented as it should be. So the new Batgirl story, with the first issue released last august, is the perfect story to bring a touch glamour in this 
blog and obvously in the comic world.
Brand New serie, brand new character:
With the new serie, DC Comics choose to change the character under the Batgirl mask. But who is she??!! There was a lot of speculation out there Cassandra Cain? Barbara Gordon ? Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe? Spoiler?
And the summary of the 1st issue from DC Comics isn’t telling much more about her identity
In the wake of « Batman R.I.P. » and BATTLE FOR THE COWL, a new heroine has emerged in Gotham City, and as she begins her nocturnal crusade to take back the night, she will truly learn what it means to wear the mantle of the Bat. But who is this young woman, and why has she donned the cape and cowl?
Also the cover of the first issue wasn’t showing the face of the new batgirl but as you can imagine you open the comic book really fast in order to discover her.
There she is but be careful if you haven’t read the comic book first

Brand new character, brand new costume:
This a new character and she may need a brand new costume! At least that’s what DC people have thought and it’s a good way for us to recognize her and move on from the previous batgirl. And who can do that? Lee Garbett of course is a made some changes on the color and the designs and reveal some draws on his blog post and on twitter. Obviously everybody is talking about that.
Me? I like the new designs and I believe Lee Garbett did a great job on it and in the comic book. It makes me think a little of Catwoman with this purple but I do like it. Besides with this new identity the door is open for Cassandra to come back in the serie…
Oh yeah here is the new designs! You can see more in Lee Garbett blog, don’t hesitate to go there!
