Issue Description

Batgirl and Robin are forced to fight to the death, but of course, Robin has a plan and Batgirl is able to read his body language to work out what it is. Robin beats her and then shoots her at close range, seemingly killing her. However, Batgirl is able to stop her heartbeat, so when the Penguin gets close enough, she springs into action and the two of them escape from the mansion, battling past a number of the villains in Penguin's employ as they do so. Back at Robin's apartment, they recognise that they are very different from one another and disagree on many things, but they also make a good team. Batgirl is looking forward to the opportunity to do things her way in a new city, and to being able to work with Robin when the need arises.

Volume Description

Starring: Cassandra Cain as Batgirl. This series continued in Batgirl (2008).

Cassandra Cain became the first Batgirl to star in a regular series after her successful appearances alongside Batman in 1999's No Man's Land saga. The new series was plotted by Scott Peterson and Kelley Puckett, with the latter handling the script, and featured art by Damion Scott. Batgirl followed Cassandra's attempt to become a full fledged crime fighter as Batman and Oracle (the original Batgirl) watched over her and provided help when needed. The opening issue dealt with Cassandra's troubled past and her brave attempt to overcome her upbringing as a would-be assassin.
