Batgirl sets off on the warpath after she learns Jimmy “The Jazzman” Peake is free and back out on the streets. She’ll do anything to capture him again especially after what Jazzman did to her father, even if it means disobeying Batman. But can she capture the criminal before he’s taken by another mysterious vigilante hitting the scene?
Writers Alan Burnett and Paul Dini do an excellent job of making a simple hitman into a formidable villain for the issue. Not every issue needs one of Batmans heavy hitters.On some pages, artist Rick Burchett seems to flatten down the characters to the point theres no depth and the illusion of three dimension in the panels is lost.

As this issue takes inspiration from one of the best episodes of the original series, it was always going to be a winner for me. I enjoyed every page! The art, writing and additional character development across the board were sublime! I can't wait to read more. Read Full Review
Fans of the Birds of Prey books will want to check this issue out, despite its flaws, as will any fans of the original show hoping to see more of Jimmy "The Jazzman" Peake. The solid story outweighs the occasionally off-model artwork and there's far more good than bad to be found here. Read Full Review
A pretty familiar feeling from the show, even if it does deal as a sequel of sorts. One that puts two people related to Batman in conflict. Barbara has me going when it comes to looking for vengeance or justice. Makes me wonder if Huntress' presence made her go for the latter. Gotta say though, the Jazzman didn't exactly cover his bases, if anything he was just a plot element than a character.
