A review by nickpalmieri
Batgirl: Redemption by Mark McKenna, Adam Beechen, Jack Purcell, Jonathan Glapion, Jim Calafiore, Andy Clarke, Dave McKenna

2.0

A way for Beechen to clean up the mess he had made of Cassandra Cain in his Robin run and the "Titans East" storyline in Teen Titans. Aside from that, this book does very little. After one of the most exposition-heavy first issues I've ever read, which was a combination of recap and useless retcon, the story goes on an overly decompressed journey to find Cain. The Deathstroke/Ravager scenes were mildly interesting, as was the final issue's fight, but everything else felt like an attempt to stretch things out to six issues. It's all so shallow and devoid of most things I love about Cassandra. She's reduced to simply "assassin's daughter" here. It's no surprise she was taken off the table for the next 7 years, only to eventually be rebooted in a new continuity.
