BATGIRL WEEK: Before The Cowl

As I was perusing the comments over on our contest post, I noticed that a lot of Batgirl readers out there have not had any prior experience with our young Miss Brown, so I wanted to take the time here to discuss the life and legend of one of our favorite characters, Stephanie Brown.

Return of Bruce Wayne: A Wish List

With the impending return of Bruce Wayne and everything that’s going to shake up Gotham and the DCU in the process, I have a few things that I want to see happen. This is not a list of who Bruce needs to square off against or what threat needs to be handled, this is a list of how Bruce and the Bat-Family in general will be received one they are all reunited. Granted, I don’t expect to have this list fulfilled to completion, but these are things that I would like to see get more attention than just a panel or two. They mostly deal with the relationships between Bruce and his team.

Panel of The Week: August 11, 2010

In an attempt to bring more content to the site, we are instating Panel of The Week which features the single panel that stands out head and shoulders above all other panels. The panel of the week is based on great art, strong determination, intense action, bravery, and above all else, exemplify the qualities of a super hero.

There are some standards that we have to set in, however. For example, the panel must exist on its own, meaning that it cannot be separated into multiple panels to get its point across. Also, splash pages, two pages spreads, and title pages are automatically removed from qualification, but that's pretty much it, so without further ado, the panel of the week is:

Batgirl #14: Pere Perez (Artist) Bryan Q. Miller (Writer)

In the midst of a mirror match fight with Clayface, Stephanie Brown shows all the qualities of a true hero, proving further that she indeed deserves the mantle of Batgirl. Risking her own life to stop crime, bring Clayface to justice, and saving everyone in the vicinity earns her the panel of the week.
