Batgirl writers Cameron Stewart and Brenden Fletcher continue to place as much emphasis on the series' increasingly large supporting cast as they do Barbara Gordon herself. That approach once again pays off in issue #44. Despite some awkward story pacing and exposition, this issue delivers a winning blend of action, intrigue and romance.
Stewart and Fletcher have always seemed to draw a bit of inspiration from Batman '66 and its campier take on Gotham City. That influence is especially apparent this month in their portrayal of Velvet Tiger as an ostentatious, preening villainess who places the captive Jo in a death trap worthy of the old show. Velvet Tiger lends a fun touch to the book, at least until she and other characters begin bombarding Barbara with exposition laying out her fiendish plan in great detail. Tiger's clash with Batgirl ends on a weirdly inconclusive note, leaving the reader uncertain for the remainder of the issue whether the conflict is finished or merely forestalled.
