Meanwhile, Oracle realizes the most effective way for the girls to wear her newly upgraded comms is by piercing their ears, and Cass freaks out!

The reintroduction and reinvention of the Batgirls and their world continues in their new title which is able to juggle world-building, villain introduction, and solid character moments seamlessly together.

Like the last issue, Batgirls #2 is a joy to read. The focus on character and interesting technical execution make it another must-read issue. These are characters you'll love if you give it a chance. If you're enjoying Nightwing, it's the perfect book to flesh out the Bat-verse. It definitely feels like the companion title. They are both character-focused and they both draw the reader in to the world in relatable and life-affirming ways that accentuate love, family and friendship. Read Full Review
This is a colorful issue filled with action and adventure. The illustrations have a modern and youthful aspect that perfectly fits the mood of the story. I felt both emotionally connected to the characters and transported into their version of Gotham City. Read Full Review
Batgirls #2 is another solid issue. It delivers the same excitement and fun as the debut issue. There's a style about it that lets you know this is a comic that knows what it is… and that's a hell of a lot of fun. Even if you don't know the characters, this is a series to check out and join in on. It's hard to get through it without finding yourself smiling and enjoying the energetic ride. Read Full Review
Cloonan, Conrad, Corona, and Stern definitely have something unique in Batgirls. Theres a great sense of momentum and combustion about the action that feels like it could be great fun if the visuals could only be honed just a little more to allow for more of a sense of modulated intensity. This may come in time as the creative team settles down into a deeper understanding of how everything comes together on a finished issue of the series. The Batgirls are really cool. Given the right rhythm, they could have quite a run together. Read Full Review
Batgirls has a very specific style and energy that I like a lot, and really helps to elevate this comic as a whole. It's an otherwise pretty straight forward comic, but it absolutely delivers on its stated premise and pushes itself to be something special. Read Full Review
Overall, Batgirls maintains the chaotic nature that makes the series fun and entertaining. The art is vibrant and expressive and matches the tangled web that the story is unraveling. The series does have a few flaws, but they do not deter from how great a ride it is. Read Full Review
Batgirls #2 deftly moves along the series' plot, adding further context to the titular teams relationship and setting an intriguing new group of villains. Dynamite visuals and a sizzling story make Batgirls one to watch in 2022. Read Full Review
Batgirls #2 gives us a healthy balance of crime fighting and cozy roommate hangouts. It's what the book promises, so it's nice to see that so far it's a consistent staple. Read Full Review
It's looking like Cass will have her hands full with dealing with Stephanie as each Batgirl works to figure out what exactly is going on in their neighborhood. The story, while only two issues in, is definitely delivering for me, and I hope it continues to do so as the story unfolds. Read Full Review
This issue has some problems with exposition dumping right up front, but is still a fun ride you can read for a quick superhero sitcom adventure with some stellar artwork to really bring it home. Read Full Review
Batgirls issue #2 is still a lot of fun, but it's starting to feel a little busy. Busy can be good, here it makes the world feel full and exciting. It also has its downsides, like making the narrative a little confusing and risking losing readers in everything it's trying to introduce and explore. Still, what keeps me reading and turning the pages is the dynamic between the characters, the Batgirls are bright, snappy, and just a ton of fun to read about, and I'm excited to see more from them. Read Full Review
Batgirls #2 plays up the silly banter and the lack of stakes to build toward a mystery that has no apparent purpose... yet. Corona's art style appears more exaggerated in this issue, further enhancing the nonsense. The issue isn't necessarily bad, but the focus, right now, is on dropping clues about an undefined mystery. At the same time, the oddly re-characterized Batgirls don't treat their situation any more seriously than a collection of middle school hijinx. Read Full Review
Batgirls #2 has so many good things going for it that it is unfortunate to see how Becky Cloonan and Michael W. Conrad just get in their own way. This issue is just to busy to make any of the many plotlines it has going on to fully grab your interest. Luckily the chemistry between Barbara Gordon, Stephanie Brown, and Cassandra Cain is strong enough to lift up the series. Read Full Review
Cass and Stephanie are fascinating characters, long overdue for a new series focused on them, so the lackluster performance of Batgirls #2 is a real shame. Read Full Review
Batgirls #2 is about as a frantic as its debut issue. Read Full Review
Im still really enjoying this. It's a huge breath of fresh air from the constant pril of the mainline Batman series with all the city wide wars. While this spins out of that its got a lot more of a slice of life feel to it. Like any SOL the characters need to carry it, and for me they do. Especially Cass who is quickly becoming one of my favorite Bat family members.
I love the art style here, it's kinetic and full of energy. And the story packs a lot in its pages, which I always apprecuate. It uses its time well to get us more familiar with the characters and move the story forward. The new villains were neat but im hoping we get somewhere on this Seer thing because they've been teasing em for a while.
Solid issue more
Ha! This was much more fun than I expected. Love the banter and the girls have their work cut out for them, I'm really loving the artwork and I would like to read the next issue like right now...
É divertido, mas não faz sentido algum dentro da cronologia.
Very busy comic.
This is a mostly fine issue. I just don't think the tone is compatible with what I want from a Batgirls comic. And there is simply way too much going on here. Like, four different villains. Maybe the disparate threads will come together soon, but as of now this reads like an overstuffed slog.
Well the comic does have plot for sure. To much of it. The characters don’t feel human in any way. They just feel like plot mechanisms. No real emotion or sense of being from anyone in this book. I mean these are The Batgirls who all know how to kick but; have been trained by the best of the best. What the heck does Barbara Gordon need to hold Steph and Cass hands for. I mean Cass could literally whip Babs butt in a straight up fight. It really is the downfall of the book that it doesn’t seem to know it’s characters at all.
The series really had potential, but the characterization is completely off and continuity-wise doesn't work with the mainline.
Cass and Steph here are inexperienced, and nothing about them hints they already carried the Batgirl mantle in their own right. They need Babs to cook them dinner, hold their hands and tell them what to do.
As for Babs... the one who's portrayed the worst is definitely Babs. She cooks them dinner, stays up all night to wait for them, and then says she's "not a helicopter mom and not so old to forget what it's like", while the book makes her seem like exactly those things.
The weirdest thing is that while Babs suited up as Batgirl in Nightwing's last issue, here she's rotating between a w more
