In “Batgirl” #7 Wildgoose and Larson will bring Barbara Gordon back to Burnside after her quest to Japan and Singapore to train with the most elite masters of the East. Batgirl will return to find an entirely different city than the one she left behind. She’ll soon meet a dashing and handsome techie named Ethan, however, only to find out that her striking beau has a familiar last name -- Cobblepot.
