"The End" Week: Batgirls #19!

I know I bought a few issues of this: it was fast-paced, fun, colorful, a fan-favorite setting itself apart from other Bat-titles. Of course it only lasted like a year and a half. From 2023, Batgirls #19, "From Hell's Heart, finale" Written by Becky Cloonan and Michael W. Conrad, art by Robbi Rodriguez.

Because internet searches are kind of garbage now, I haven't been able to figure out if the creative team was leaving to do something else; or if editorial wanted to move Cassandra Cain over to Birds of Prey, or if sales really just weren't what they wanted them to be; because Google will find you stories about the tax write-off Batgirl movie or the cancellation of the CW's Batwoman. Still, the Batgirls go out on a high note, as Gotham rallies behind them.

Stephanie Brown gets to win a fight, taking down Gunbunny with the Deadpool-mouth-off technique: everybody knew, the one in black was the asskicker. I'm hoping both Batgirls are still out there kicking ass, but Steph probably got sent back to the minors, for like the fifth time. Still, just a matter of time before there's another Batgirl series. Probably.
