This collection kicks off the New 52 era for Barbara Gordon as she reclaims the Batgirl mantle after years of recovery from the Joker's attack. Gail Simone's run explores Barbara's psychological trauma and determination to protect Gotham's Burnside district, balancing street-level crime-fighting with her personal struggles. The volume includes the first six issues of the series, establishing a darker, more grounded tone for the character.
