lol. cant wait for this

Not loving this interpretation of Agent 37.

Can Fox see his face? I know the Bat Fam decrypted the hypnos in the recent Grayson issue, but Luke retired.

Dick is such a cockblocker.

Lol. I hate Luke Fox so much so I love this! Also the cover's nice. (Still not gonna read it but thoroughly enjoyed the preview, might even pick up the single issue to see what they do with the Dick-Babs relationship)

How old is Batgirl?

Dick showing up out of nowhere was hilarious.

@sprior93: I think 21, around that ballpark

Pretty art, but it also makes this look more like a romance book than a superhero book.

Looks about 17.

@mark_stephen: That's just the art

@sprior93: Fresh out of College

Agreed.

I was thinking of picking this up because Grayson made an appearance. But the art . . . is kind of terrible in my opinion. Okay, it's not my cup of tea. It looks like something you would see in an Archie book. Maybe towards the end of the arc, the big reveal is that Batgirl takes place in the Archie universe and nobody realizes until Barbara Gordon wakes up in Jughead's bed with her Batgirl cowl and a smile.

Dick looks like a villain from a Disney animated movie.

Lol its crazy how the art went from the selling point to the biggest complaint on thus book. Niche readers I guess.

Anyway get stepping Luke, daddy's home.

@the-archivist: When did Luke retire?

@jewishdork: You're thinking of Gaston but I think he looks more like Eric from the Little Mermaid for me. We already know that Babs loves Dick.

I think since the new 52 I havent seen them interact much as a couple or having feelings for each other (except for the Nightwing annual) but God save DC if they screw up Babs and Dick relationship

Soo when did young Fox and Barbara got hooked up ? O.o

@wowlock: Last Issue.

Why do you hate Luke? He's a cool dude.

The art in this comic book series is life. It should be used in a future Emmy Award winning cartoon. Yes I want a Batgirl TV series.

It's cause I'm a huge David Zavimbe fan and I hate how they replaced him with a generic bat-fam character. I know it's irrational and that it's not exactly Luke's fault, but the grudge is still there haha.

As much as I love Babs Tarr's art overall, the way she draws Grayson is really weird.

I've been seeing similar comments from other users a lot. Luke Fox is hated on, because David Zavimbe is no longer Batwing. Yea, Batwing did have a good start around the relaunch with a known Batman writer and a wonderful artist, Ben Oliver. It's a shame that the series just went downhill after their departure.

I love the art so much! It's nice to see an artist accepted for their style and given a big name character. I was worried after New52 they would only hire Jim Lee copycats, but comic art diversity is at an all time high!

read the issue and the way dick stood in the dark watching over barb with luke is just so heart-wrenching. i mean his face is just making me feel so bad i dont even know why.
