This graphic novel tells us of Batgirl's beginning of being a superheroe. The art work and story are great. As the story opens we see Barbara Gordon getting use to her new "night job" and feeling the thrills of the new experiences, but by the end we see how she has become hardened, in a way,to the reality and ugliness of Gotham City. Matt Haley's artwork is brilliant. His Batgirl looks great, fresh, and modern. The plot is good because it shows Batgirl's feelings about her new career and the how the people and villains react to her. This book is a must for Batgirl lovers.

Any Joker story must undergo two tests: Is the Joker funny? And is he deadly? Both tests are passed here. Joker fans might want to check this out.

Great Graphic Novel. I recomend this to both Batgirl and Joker fans. The Joker is kind of sick though but that is the only negative. Great book I reccomend it for people age 13 and older.

having just reread "batgirl:year one" i was browsing for other titles when i saw the cover for this book, and was drawn in by the beautiful artwork.
with that said, the only thing i can really recommend this book for is the artwork. it is really beautiful, and jumps right off the page!
very well drawn, fantastic compositions and story boarding, and brilliant coloring! too bad the story didn't hold up!

the story never really developed, and didn't seem to go anywhere! and when other big named characters showed up i got real excited.
i thought their introduction would lead to something worth reading, instead was an even bigger let down when i saw how poorly they were used!

the actions portrayed in this story are very out of character. and i'm still scratching my head over the useless plot!
still, it makes a pretty picture book!

but i'd recommend you save your money.
