BATGIRL #48, available this Tuesday from DC Comics, continues Barbara’s epic and dangerous journey in the Joker War. Her path has been far from easy, yet she keeps moving forward.

Once again, the Joker has been tearing through Gotham – and all of Batman’s allies. This is, unfortunately, something that Barbara Gordon has seen before. Has experienced before. Yet she didn’t stop then, and she sure as hell won’t stop now.

The last issue forced Barbara to relive some of the worst moments of her life. It could have been the beginning of a downward spiral. Instead, she took charge of the situation and of her own life. It was a moment that should have been cathartic, if not for the war still ongoing.

Now she’s left to pick up the pieces and face the consequences for the tough decisions she made. Once again, fans are reminded of how she became Oracle and how Babs always finds a way to continue her task of saving lives. No matter what.
