- Series finale! All good things must come to an end, as we wrap up this run of Batgirl with one final oversized celebratory issue! In the aftermath of “The Joker War,” Gotham is left in pieces that need to be picked up by Barbara and Alejo’s team—but is Gotham a city worth saving anymore, and how much longer does our girl have it in her to keeping fighting for it as Batgirl? Then, if Barbara is to ever give her relationship with Jason a chance, she knows she has to face him and finally make amends with the act that crippled him.
Launched at the start of the DC Rebirth era in 2016, Batgirl began as a more globally-focused series as Barbara traveled the world to hone her skills before eventually returning to Gotham to help defend her city. With "Joker War" coming, Batgirl's greatest enemy is back targeting Barbara once more and fully aware of her dual identity.
Written by Cecil Castellucci and illustrated by Emanuela Lupacchino, Marguerite Sauvage and Aneke, Batgirl #50 goes on sale Oct. 27 from DC Comics.
