This issue is extremely well done. The story is strong. And the artwork by Robbi Rodriguez is really great. The art is surprisingly emotional, yet full of hope. Read Full Review

Robbi Rodriguez does a brilliant job with the art in this issue. The characters looks amazing and the art creates an engaging atmosphere as it matches the tone of the story. A great looking issue from the first surreal dream sequence to the awesome cliffhanger final page. Read Full Review

I don't want it to end. We're definitely coming up on something big, I can feel it in my bones. I really hope, from what I've seen of Castellucci's writing, that she'll do right by Batgirl. There's so much that can still happen. There are so many different angles the plot line could split off into. Right now, all that's needed is Batgirl kicking the Jokers' face in. Now that, would be doing right by her. Read Full Review

Cecil Castellucci seems to be inadvertently borrowing Chris Claremonts beautiful red-headed doppelgnger element for Batgirls latest mystery. Though it clouds the triumph of Batgirls recovery a bit, the mystery DOES propel the issue in a new direction that should prove to be every bit as fun as what Babs has been tumbling through throughout the rest of Castelluccis run thus far.

Batgirl #48 is an intricate issue, one that has several elements woven together, alongside bright artwork and intriguing plot arcs. Read Full Review

It's a shame that Batgirl is nearing the end of its run, but this issue proves that it's doing so in an excellent way. Read Full Review

This was a great tie-in story and doesn’t seem to interrupt the flow of the series. Castelluci writes Barbara well and has set up an interesting premise for this arc. Read Full Review

Despite all appearances to the contrary, Batgirl #48 reminds readers (and Barbara) that there are no easy answers. Read Full Review

Batgirl #48 has some odd places, and parts that don't seem to make sense, but generally it's an interesting start to the title's final arc. It fixes the issue of Barbara removing her implant, and introduces Luke Fox to the narrative. At the same time it also brings back the whole Gordon family as protagonists as they deal with family drama, and a new murder that looks like it will involve all of them in some way or another.

We now know that Batgirl is ending in only two issues, and based on some Joker War promo pics it looks like the mantle might be in for a shakeup. Given these two tie-in issues, I can't say I'm opposed to a complete revamp. Read Full Review

Batgirl #48 is hardly a Joker War tie-in, and really, it's just a convoluted mess.  Cecil Castellucci throws characters at the reader without thought of proper setup or characterization and while Robbie Rodriquez's art is good, it can't save this sinking ship.  I am sure that Batgirl fans will stick it out until this series ends at #50, but they deserve something...anything better than this.

It's filled with sluggish pace but Barbara holds her own. The twist at the end is intriguing.

nop bored

I'm only reading this for Joker War, and so an issue that's basically got nothing to do with it is not really what I was looking for. I hate how Cecil Castellucci writes Babs. She's incredibly stubborn, except when she's with a guy that she has a romantic interest in. When that happens, she's just *such* a girl. The story is pretty much what you'd expect after last issue and it's pretty boring. It also takes forever to read.

A bad story, no real tie in to Joker war and some really bad art...just didn't do it for me.

DC really do not know what to do with Barbara

Jesus this dialogue. Nobody speaks like a real person!
