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.
