Batgirl: Year One by Scott Beatty
5.0
This is a really solid origin story for Barbara Gordon's donning of the Batgirl person. Perfect action-packed pacing with some lulls for character development, and Barbara is just as feisty as I'd have hoped (living up to that red hair of hers). Like the more recent New 52 Batgirl, this is a definitely deals a lot with female empowerment and feminism.
Loved the character interactions in here. The relationship between Robin and Batgirl felt spot-on with their characters, as did Batman's looming presence (and it felt proper that, while present, he really was a watcher in here as opposed to a huge player).
Plus, I was happy with Batgirl not being her choice of name, but one given to her. I've long felt she deserved to be called Batwoman, and this at least makes it clear that's what she would have preferred. It makes more sense for the character!
