It retells Barbara Gordon's early days as Batgirl, from her training under Batman to her first cases in Gotham City, presented in an oversized format with bonus material.
In "Chapter One: Masquerade," Barbara Gordon, determined to carve her own path, dons a costume inspired by Batman and steps into the spotlight at a masked gala—only to face off against the flamboyant Killer Moth. As she grapples with the weight of her new identity, Jo seeks out the legendary Justice Society, hoping to learn the skills needed to protect Gotham.
After his humiliating defeat at the hands of Batgirl, Killer Moth seeks redemption by teaming up with the unpredictable Firefly, a volatile new ally whose madness may be the key to his comeback—or his undoing.
In "Chapter Six: Bird of Prey," Batgirl teams up with Black Canary to rescue her father from Killer Moth and Firefly, turning the tide when the villains' ambush backfires—now the hunters are the ones being hunted. The story crackles with sharp pacing and high-stakes tension, showcasing the dynamic between two of Gotham’s fiercest fighters.
In "Chapter Seven: Hearts Afire," Batgirl teams up with Black Canary to rescue Commissioner Gordon from Killer Moth and Firefly, all while navigating a tense moment with her father and a flirty exchange that catches her off guard. As tensions rise between Robin and the new Batgirl, the two soon find themselves on patrol together, testing their partnership in the shadows.
In "Chapter Eight: Seasoned Crime-Fighter," Batgirl and Robin race through a darkened subway train in pursuit of Blockbuster, while Commissioner Gordon grapples with the growing suspicion that his own daughter might be the masked vigilante he’s been hunting. As chaos erupts above, Killer Moth and Firefly ignite a fiery assault on the GCPD, testing the limits of Gotham’s defenders.
In "Chapter Nine: Ashes & Blood," Batgirl and her allies confront the dangerous duo of Killer Moth and Firefly in a high-stakes showdown that tests their resolve. As Batman formally welcomes her into the Batman Family and shares his true identity, the weight of legacy and trust shifts—while Commissioner Gordon grapples with a truth he never expected. The fight for Gotham has just begun.
